Privateer Remake has recently made thier 1.0 release. An ebuild for this would be very cool. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
I second that. This game is seriously good!
Here is a Linux installer: http://www.liflg.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=217
Created attachment 53036 [details] privateer-1.0.ebuild As requested, privateer remake ebuild. Should work. Not sure about dependencies though. Statically compiled? Let me know how it works for you.
Created attachment 53037 [details] files/privscript
Created attachment 53301 [details] privateer-1.0.ebuild revised I changed: bash ${DISTDIR}/${PN}${PV}.bz2.run --target ${P} to: bash ${DISTDIR}/${PN}${PV}.bz2.run --noexec --keep --target ${P} This stopped the loki installer from running and kept the files where they were extracted. After the emerge everything seemed to work fine.
Why not unpack_makeself from eutils.eclass??
Why not unpack_makeself from eutils.eclass? <--- Not familiar with this. Also, I'll admit right now it's far from a perfect ebuild. I actually don't play vegastrike/privateer at all. I only made an ebuild because I saw a lot of requests for it. After posting the ebuild I haven't played the game any more. :)
New version of Privateer Remake (1.2) is available, with lots of improvements (check the Changelog!) Renaming the ebuild to privateer-1.2.ebuild did the job to emerge this new version. A possible improvement: the game manual pdf is now included in the tarball and lands at /usr/share/games/privateer/Manual.pdf. It would be easier to spot in the standard /usr/share/doc/privateer-1.2 directory
Created attachment 65951 [details] privateer-1.2.ebuild Modified ebuild for Privateer Remake 1.2 Using unpack_makeself now instead of invoking the setup binary. Also works with Privateer Gemini Gold 1.0
Created attachment 65953 [details] privgold-1.0.ebuild Ebuild for Privateer Gemini Gold 1.0
privateer gemini != privateer remake. Shouldn't a diffenrent bug be open for it?
Yes...
i really don't understand the difference between privateer and privgold. can someone elaborate that(for?) to me please? another thing: pivgold does not work on it's own on my system. after emerging, it's trying to find the privateer directory for some unkown reason. privgold got an update -> 101a. may that one would help.
Gemini Gold is essentially a fork of Privateer Remake. There's a hardcore crowd of WC fans who basically decided Privateer Remake was not true enough to the original so forked it and "refined" it to be more similar. However, it was fairly controversial because they did all their development behind closed doors, hijacked the old Privateer Remake website, and generally did not cooperate with the original Privateer Remake developers other than when it suited them. Saying that, from what I hear, Gemini Gold is more polished than Privateer Remake.
Privateer Gemini Gold is now 1.0.3 I can't find Privateer Remake anymore, but this has popped up now: http://pu.wcjunction.com/ — Wing Commander Parallel Universe and claims to be a modification of Privateer Remake 1.2 Both GG and PU are linked from the VegaStrike website (and are essentially its mods).
Created attachment 277953 [details] privateergold-1.03.ebuild, updated and improved version Refurbished version of the old ebuild, uses newer eapi, does some things more by the book and installs a .desktop file. Will try to get in into sunrise. The game does not run if your /tmp is mounted noexec!

If I find time, I will add it.
Created attachment 278051 [details] privateergold-1.03.ebuild (commited to sunrise) Heavily improved version of the ebuild, commited to sunrise. Thanks to binki and mgorny for revies. Enjoy!
Created attachment 278055 [details] files/privscript (new version, since the old one didnt work anymore)
This is ebuild was just commited to sunrise overlay. So you will currently find it under: https://overlays.gentoo.org/svn/proj/sunrise/sunrise/games-rpg/privateergold/privateergold-1.03.ebuild You will find it here after review (hopefully after the weekend): http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/sunrise/browser/reviewed/games-rpg/privateergold Since I am not the owner of this bug, can somebody please change: Status Whiteboard: [sunrise-overlay] Keywords: EBUILD, InOverlay Thanky you!
Hello, everyone. It seems that at least one ebuild related to this bug exists in the Sunrise overlay at the moment. However, I have to regretfully announce that after a long inactivity period the Sunrise project has been discontinued and the related overlay will be eventually removed. For this reason, I'd like to ask you to reevaluate the ebuilds and consider moving them. If you'd like to maintain a package from Sunrise in Gentoo, please take a look at our Proxy Maintainers [1] project. Please make sure to take ebuilds from the unreviewed developer Sunrise repository [2] rather than the -reviewed one, since the latter has not been updated for over a year. While at it, please note that: 1. Adding a package to Gentoo requires declaring yourself as an active maintainer for it. All bugs regarding the package will be assigned to you, and you will be expected to maintain it. 2. Some packages may not be suitable for addition anymore. While there's no strong rules that would prevent you from adding a package, it may be a bad idea to add old-unmaintained packages that will shortly result in a large number of bugs reported with no solution. If that is the case, please close the bug as RESOLVED/OBSOLETE to make it easier to find packages worth adding. 3. Some of the bugs were already closed as WONTFIX/OBSOLETE/... while the relevant ebuild was kept in Sunrise. If you disagree with the original decision, you still can add the ebuild via proxy-maint. 4. Pleaes note that many of the Sunrise ebuilds are old and may be buggy. If you decide to move them, please make sure to update/clean them up. The proxy-maint team will also review your ebuilds, therefore making sure they land in Gentoo in good quality. Once again, thank you for your contribution. We hope that you will still want to contribute to Gentoo, through proxy-maint or otherwise.
