User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; tr; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061205 Firefox/2.0 Build Identifier: There are a few things I want to mention about games-board/xboard ebuild which I think can be improved in a way which will fit better for Gentoo. First of all there is a program called zippy that's installed by default with xboard.From zippy.README: "Zippy is a program that lets GNU Chess act as a computer player on an Internet Chess Server. It also works with Crafty. Zippy is unsupported, experimental code." It's a program for people that have computer accounts on Internet Chess Servers.So many people won't need it. Another thing is xboard has 'games-board/gnuchess' in its RDEPEND.This is also not useful for people who only use xboard to connect to internet chess servers and play online and others may want to install crafty instead of gnuchess.Adding a X useflag to gnuchess which pulls xboard is more logical than this imo. One last thing is xboard may use Xaw3d instead of Xaw so adding a Xaw3d use flag seems useful as well. I wrote an ebuild for xboard which has zippy and Xaw3d useflags and doesn't have games-board/gnuchess in RDEPEND which is attached. Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 103832 [details] Ebuild with zippy and Xaw3d useflags
Created attachment 103833 [details] xboard-4.2.7.ebuild
Added to CVS... thanks for the ebuild...
