Bug 171559 – games-sports/xmoto-0.2.7 version bump

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Franz Trischberger 2007-03-20 13:56:42 UTC]

There is a new version of xmoto: 0.2.7.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/xmoto says, xmoto is not anymore under active development, the latest available version here is 0.2.6.
Probably it would be good to change the download to:
http://download.tuxfamily.org/xmoto/xmoto/0.2.7/xmoto-0.2.7-src.tar.gz

As the latest version bumps, this one builds fine just with copying the latest ebuild. But i didn't look if there are some new configure-options.

Since 0.2.4 (i think), xmoto does not contain anymore the bin "xmoto-edit". It became a seperate package. If there is the need to get it back, probably create a new ebuild.

The easiest way to create xmoto-levels is using inkscape, so it would be nice to add a useflag "inkscape" or anything like that, to install the necessary (python)-scripts.

Reproducible: Always

games-sports/xmoto-0.2.7  : added IUSE="svg2lvl"

Added IUSE"svg2lvl", which installs the needed inkscape-extensions
You need >=inkscape-0.45.
Updated SRC_URI to new server
Updated HOMEPAGE

svg2lvl is not a very descriptive name.  "editor" seems to be a fairly common use flag for installing the game editor as well as the game.

thanks, committed with editor use flag!

You are right.
But xmoto-edit still exists, and i wanted to point out that it is not the common xmoto-edit, but a plugin to create xmoto-lvls from svg-files.

But it seems that xmoto-edit isn't the first choice for creating levels, but inkscape, so "editor"-Flag is just fine.

As xmoto-edit isn't installed anymore with standard-xmoto-src there is another bugfix to the ebuild:
In src_install, you shouldn't do the "domenu extra/xmoto-edit.desktop"

games-sports/xmoto-0.2.7.ebuild

* Stopped trying to install a menuentry for xmoto-edit
* Added an einfo when having editor-FLAG set, with a link to the xmoto-wiki
* editor-flag now only installs the necessary files, not the TODO; AUTHORS, and so on. Only *.inx, *.py, *.xml.
