Description:   Opened: 2004-02-29 10:25 0000 
AlephOne is the open source version of the classic Mac FPS, Marathon.  Using a
source snapshot from Jun '03 off of sourceforge, I built an ebuild for Gentoo. 
It requires SDL, sdl-image, sdl-net, lua and opengl.  OpenGL should be
optional, but I had trouble getting it to build with it disabled, so there is
no USE flag for it.

Now, the source by itself isn't very usable since it requires a scenario to
play.  They most common scenario to include are the resources from the Marathon
Infinity Demo.  However, I found a full conversion of the original Marathon
game for AlephOne and included it as a local USE option : m1a1.  There are also
optional high resolution graphics for the m1a1 scenario as a local USE option.

I'm still new at putting together ebuilds, so I'd appreciate someone looking it
over and cleaning it up.  Also, I realize it may be a good idea to split the
m1a1 scenario into its own ebuild.  If you'd rather do it that way, let me know
and I can do the grunt work.

Reproducible: Always

I have found an updated source distribution and updated the ebuild accordingly.
 This distribution requres a patch, though.

According to source.bungie.org, the first official Linux version since 2001 has
been released at http://sourceforge.net/projects/marathon/

I've tested the binary (rpm) version briefly, seems to work fine. If we can get
this ebuild updated, perhaps this can be considered for inclusion in portage.

AlephOne Scenario based on the original Marathon game.	Replicated to every
last detail (with a few bugs fixed) and with high res graphics options.

Mind you, the ebuild is pretty damn ugly, but it'll install what's necessary to
be able to run the alephone engine.

i incorporated James Le Cuirot's work into my ebuild and added
alephone-20040417 to portage

Great news guys... Bungie has released the three Marathon games as free
downloads: http://trilogyrelease.bungie.org/

Ooh! That was unexpected!

SpanKY: if this has been added to portage, then shouldn't it be RESOLVED-FIXED?

------- Comment #15 From Mr. Bones. 2005-01-22 17:26:48 0000 ------- 
doesn't build with USE=-lua so it's not really "there" yet if you ask me.

ok it works for me now so I agree this can be closed.
