Bug 197228 – games-fps/odamex (new ebuild) : Free and Open Source multiplayer Doom Engine

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Davide Cendron (RETIRED) 2007-10-27 18:10:30 UTC]

Hi, i wrote an ebuild for "Odamex", an interesting and promising multiplayer Doom engine.

It runs on a lot of archs, and (obviously) it's Free and Open Source 8)

I've tested it on amd64 and x86 at the moment, but i think it would be keyworded with other ~arch soon.

NOTE: The "wxwindows" USE (to enable installation of the graphical launcher) requires x11-libs/wxGTK-2.8, currently available on dirtyepic's dev overlay, so let layman help you:

Version bump && use flag change

'server' use flag -> 'dedicated' because 'dedicated' is de-facto standart... e.g. quake2, qudos in portage or vavoom in sunrise overlay.

[Comment 7 Andreas Berg 2010-02-02 22:11:04 UTC]

renaming the ebuild provided by jan to odamex-0.4.4.ebuild (latest version) works fine.

I am an Odamex dev and I've used Gentoo as my main platform for many years now including for Odamex development. I would like to see it in portage. What is holding it back at the moment, what needs to be done, and what can I do to help get it there? Thanks.

You should probably post your question on the Gentoo Linux forums, where it will get much more attention:

I wanted to update this and note that the latest source release of Odamex includes cmake build scripts which I believe makes Odamex a much better candidate for inclusion than it previously was.

WIP 0.6.1 ebuild

Hi, I've been trying to write myself an ebuild for this, but I'm getting burned out trying to figure out how cmake-utils works. I'll leave it here if anyone needs a starting point.

A minimalistic build system is not holding back anything from inclusion and some might even prefer it over cmake ;)

I will look into it.


notice: If you are interested in getting stuff yourself somewhere, there is the sunrise overlay
http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/sunrise/ which has a minimum of quality standard, so users might feel more comfortable of using it instead of a random overlay.
Also you can join #gentoo-dev-help or even #gentoo-games (in this case) to get feedback on your ebuild.
