Description:   Opened: 2006-04-13 22:19 0000
nwn-cep is a community made expansion pack for Neverwinter Nights, and hosted
on nwvault[1].  The ebuild has a fetch restriction, requiring the user to
manually download the sources.  Unfortunately, the source for the latest
version in portage - 1.50 - is no longer available for download _anywhere_. 
Versions 1.51 and 1.52 are available but are not in portage due to Bug #81248

i can see a couple courses of action (and i'm sure there are others/better)

- mask 1.5.0 until Bug #81248 is worked out
- bump to 1.52 without HotU and SoU support for now, and add it in later on
- find a site that's still hosting 1.5.0 and point the SRC_URI there
- find a copy of the 1.5.0 source somewhere and host it on our mirrors*

* I may be way out to lunch, but does this ebuild really need a fetch
restriction?  It's a free collection of game resources developed and
distributed by the community, completely independent from Bioware.

There doesn't seem to be a specific mention of any licence or copyright on the
CEP site or in the sources.  It seems to be public-domain.  A confirmation
would probably be a good idea though.

Scratch that last option.  It looks like it's not public-domain after all:

OK.  I've added two separate ebuilds for 1.52 into the tree.  There is a
1.52-r1 ebuild, which is in package.mask, that goes with the ebuilds from
106789, while the 1.52 ebuild works with the current stable.

Enjoy!
