There are a few things I want to mention about games-board/xboard ebuild
which
I think can be improved in a way which will fit better for Gentoo.
First of all there is a program called zippy that's installed by default with
xboard.From zippy.README:
"Zippy is a program that lets GNU Chess act as a computer player on an
Internet Chess Server. It also works with Crafty. Zippy is
unsupported, experimental code."
It's a program for people that have computer accounts on Internet Chess
Servers.So many people won't need it.
Another thing is xboard has 'games-board/gnuchess' in its RDEPEND.This is
also not useful for people who only use xboard to connect to internet chess
servers and play online and others may want to install crafty instead of
gnuchess.Adding a X useflag to gnuchess which pulls xboard is more logical than
this imo.
One last thing is xboard may use Xaw3d instead of Xaw so adding a Xaw3d use
flag seems useful as well.
I wrote an ebuild for xboard which has zippy and Xaw3d useflags and doesn't
have games-board/gnuchess in RDEPEND which is attached.
Reproducible: Always
