Renaming the ebuild seems to download all the right files, but the patches don't apply :(
Created attachment 66298 [details] New ebuild for 0.97
Created attachment 66299 [details, diff] Updated gentoo paths patch
Created attachment 66300 [details, diff] Updated "use HOME" patch
This is my try at an updated ebuild for 0.97 (which has some nice new features). I have reworked the patches, edit some paths in the ebuild and changed the preferences system to save the preferences.ini in ~/.smclone (and not in the current directory). Btw, please add EBUILD to the keywords for this bugreport
Have you contacted the upstream-author about the patches? It's always better to merge stuff upstream and I think saving in the homedir and making paths configurable makes sense for everyone.
Hum, no I didn't send them upstream, since they are adjustments from previous patches in 0.95 and 0.96. Did the original creator of the patches showed them upstream? (looks like it was vapier) There's nothing about it in the games forums. I guess that's what happens in your code when your main dev platform is windows (one directory with binary, data, savegames, preferences, ...)
version bumped. Thanks for the bug report and patches.
