Hi, here is a working ebuild for No Gravity ("nogravity"), a 3D arcade space shooter. It is currently necessary to install from CVS, to be able to compile the source code, since files are missing from the source code tarball.
Created attachment 80290 [details] nogravity-9999.ebuild
We don't do live cvs ebuilds but if they roll a good source tarball please reopen.
In my experience, sometimes a nice word and a good explanation to the devs why exactly do you/we need an official tarball from their project can do a lot. Yup, that's one of the wonders of FOSS :D
Erm ...BTW, are the zip's on http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/nogravity all useless? From what I can tell the rt-nogravity-src.zip and rt-nogravity-data.zip seem quite up to date with the rest of the binaries (February 2006).

Ebuild needs an update. ECVS_SERVER is not valid in the current ebuild. It needs to be updated to: ECVS_SERVER="${PN}.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/${PN}" There may be other changes. I'll post an ebuild once I have it working completely.
Created attachment 127117 [details] nogravity-9999.ebuild Obsoletes original ebuild.
Comment on attachment 127117 [details] nogravity-9999.ebuild Updated ebuild. Fixes cvs server location and adds a patch to remove check for png_decompress_chunk (what does this break...)
Created attachment 127118 [details, diff] png_decompress_chunk-fix.diff Removes configure.in check for png_decompress_chunk. Not sure if it was simply incorrectly checked or not, but I removed the check and it now builds. If someone knows a better way, please let me know, and I'll re-patch.
