Description Gregory Smith 2005-12-07 07:52:44 UTC

The games-fps/alephone ebuild points to a tarball that contains extra library
sources (versions of SDL, SDL_net, and SDL_image) that we include because the
binaries for those libraries are distributed with the Mac/Windows versions.

A better choice would be either the source RPM on our sourceforge page
http://sourceforge.net/projects/marathon/files/ (under Aleph One for Linux)

or the tarball at Christian's site:
http://alephone.cebix.net/downloads/AlephOne-20051119.tar.gz

Each of those is only a 1.3 MB download instead of a 6 MB download like is
currently in the ebuild.

Reproducible: Always

Well, I won't be touching a source RPM with a 10 foot (3.048 m) pole, but I'll
definitely look at the tarball.
