Bug 130036 – ut2004 community bonus packs - replacement ebuilds

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Paul Bredbury 2006-04-15 02:12:55 UTC]

Hi, here are replacement ebuilds for ut2004-bonuspack-cbp1-1.ebuild and ut2004-bonuspack-cbp2-1.ebuild

They have the following improvements over the existing ebuilds:

* They are direct downloads, rather than the user having to manually download.
* They don't depend on a third-party repackager ( http://liflg.org/?catid=6&gameid=17 )
* File collisions in cbp2 are fixed.

The file lists have been md5sum-checked against the old ebuild versions, and the only differences are that the READMEs are missing from these new versions:

/usr/share/doc/ut2004-bonuspack-cbp1-1/README.cbp1_volume1.gz
/usr/share/doc/ut2004-bonuspack-cbp2-1/README.cbp2_volume1.gz
/usr/share/doc/ut2004-bonuspack-cbp2-1/README.cbp2_volume2.gz

Moved the "rm" commands to src_unpack where they belong. Added tidying of some badly-named readme's in the Help directory.

Collision fixed. I think this can be closed.

[Comment 5 Paul Bredbury 2006-11-08 13:27:07 UTC]

The main purpose for this bug report is not the file collision, but the *manual* file download. Manual file downloads suck, especially when there is an obvious direct download - which the ebuilds on this bug provide ;)

# grep RESTRICT /usr/portage/eclass/games-mods.eclass
RESTRICT="mirror strip"

That's yucky.

[Comment 6 Tristan Heaven (RETIRED) 2006-11-08 18:54:48 UTC]

There's no fetch restriction now, they use liflg mirrors.

[Comment 7 Paul Bredbury 2006-11-08 20:51:20 UTC]

Oops, that's true. I was thinking there was still a RESTRICT="fetch" in there. OK.

Isn't there still a file collision between cbp2 and ut2004-bonuspack-mega on Textures/Ty_RocketTextures.utx? I delete it in the cbp2 ebuild.

I think the eclass prevents it.

[Comment 9 Paul Bredbury 2006-11-08 21:20:35 UTC]

The eclass is trying to be too clever ;)

That strategy of first-installed-stays-installed falls over when the colliding file *changes*, so it's not a strategy that should be relied upon. The eclass does not know which file version is the correct one to use, if a file has changed.

[Comment 10 Tristan Heaven (RETIRED) 2006-11-08 22:01:16 UTC]

Right, and all of the symlinks are removed on a second merge.

[Comment 11 Tristan Heaven (RETIRED) 2009-10-05 17:05:09 UTC]

Using your suggested changes now. Thanks.
