ebuild for NWN dedicated server v1.62

I've copied the ebuild from 1.61 and added a DEPEND on unzip.

Ideally, this ebuild should check if NWN 1.61 is installed and d/l the much
smaller update instead (and then do the appropriate steps for an update).  I
haven't even begun reading enough on doing an ebuild to attempt this.

There's no way for an ebuild to know whether or not the previous is installed
(properly).  Not to mention, the way ebuilds work is to *remove* the previous
version.  What we would have to do is either:

1.  Always download 1.61 (if needed) and the 1.62 updates and use those
2.  Ignore the previous install and download full 1.62

I tend to go for the first option for "minor" releases and the second option
for larger releases.

------- Comment #4 From Chris Ryan 2004-05-25 02:00:15 0000 ------- 
Ok, I see.

If that's the case, then the ebuild follows the correct approach by d/ling the 1.62 version.

Again, my ignorance of ebuilds will show here: when uninstalling, does it do specific, targeted deletes?  Can I get it to leave any user modified or added files behind?

------- Comment #5 From Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2004-05-25 05:08:29 0000 ------- 
Actually, for soemthing as large as NWN, I would probably go with the "download
1.61 and 1.62 patch" route, simply due to download size.

As for uninstalling, portage only removes files which are not in CONFIG_PROTECT
directories and which have not been modified since they were installed.  This
means any modifications that you have made will be kept, though they could
possibly be overwritten by a new install (or even upgrade) unless they are
protected by CONFIG_PROTECT.
