Gentoo Full Text Bug Listing

Description:

Opened: 2002-12-02 17:19 0000

This ebuild will install the Quake 2 data files into
/usr/share/games/quake2-data.
I saw an excellent way way to grab the files off of the CD or user-specified
directory
in the app-games/unreal-tournament ebuild while browsing ebuilds.  This
provides a good
source-port independent place for data.  It is intended that Quake 2
source-port ebuild
authors sym-link to the files installed by this ebuild to avoid the binaries
and
port-specifics over-writing each-other.  Thanks to the author of the UT ebuild
for the idea.

  BTW, this ebuild installs the basic Quake 2 data files, including updated
ones from the
point-release.  The expansion packs should be easy to make ebuilds for based on
this.

that's the original 3.20 update from ID, IMHO it should be named
"quake2-3.20.ebuild" and the icculus port "quake2-icculus-0.15.ebuild".

there is an unofficial patched q2 3.21 for linux that corrects some bugs in the
q2build:

  Regarding comment number 3, I agree that the current "quake2" ebuild in
Portage should be called "quake2-icculus-0.15" rather than just "quake2"
(or "quake2-relnev," as I suggested).  I am sorry, I do not understand the
rest of the comment.

  I don't see why the things installed by this ebuild should be installed in
/opt.  The only thing I can think of that this has in common with the Q3 and UT
ebuilds is that they are all either first-person-shooters or related to them
(this one is just the data from one).  Unless I am wrong (and I could very
well be), /opt is used for foreign-compiled binaries.  /opt would only be
appropriate for a binary-only Quake 2 version (of which there are a few,
including the official from id).  So, the official id Quake 2 binaries or
Quake Fusion belong in /opt, whereas QuakeForge 2 and the icculus Quake 2
belong in /usr/bin.  The FHS was IMHO a little vague about what /opt was for,
but this is how I got the impression Gentoo was doing it (and it seems good
to me).

the q2 3.20 from ID is bugged.

   Thanks for the notice.  I checked though, and it appears as though the
icculus port (the only Quake 2 port in Portage so far) has this fixed.
   Also, this ebuild is only for the data, not for any programs.
