magnant doesnt have any code to compile, it's just a collection of data files

[Comment 2 robustah 2005-10-26 10:12:26 UTC]

Magnant can be "installed", but it doesn't work. That's what I meant.

[Comment 3 Lee Harr 2005-11-19 17:48:11 UTC]

Same problem here. Looks like it may actually be a stratagus problem. 
 
Does stratagus depend on a particular version of lua? 
 

[Comment 4 Martti Rannanjärvi 2006-01-06 06:59:13 UTC]

Magnant 2.00 requires Stratagus 2.0; 2.1 won't work.

Would it be too much  hassle to provide an stratagus 2.0 ebuild and let this one hard depend on it?
Curently there is only stratagus 2.1 in portage.

[Comment 6 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2006-10-30 23:00:28 UTC]

It would need to slot with the 2.1 version and would need to be attached here in the next few weeks.  I've masked magnant for removal from portage since it seems like no one cares enough to fix up this bug in the past year.

[Comment 7 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2006-11-29 17:43:54 UTC]

removed from portage.  marking WONTFIX.
