The games.eclass sets the GAMES_DATADIR variable to /usr/share/games. This is incorrect, it should be /usr/share/games/${PN} to keep the data separated by package name rather than all dumped together. See attached patch. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge a game who's ebuild inherits games, then later calls the prepgamesdirs() function. Actual Results: observe the installed locations of the games data: /usr/share/games/images, /usr/share/games/sounds etc. Expected Results: should be installed into: /usr/share/games/${PN}/images, /usr/share/games/${PN}/sounds etc. --- /usr/portage/eclass/games.eclass 2007-04-10 11:35:42.000000000 +1000 +++ /usr/local/portage/eclass/games.eclass 2007-09-13 02:54:24.742652284 +1000 @@ -18,7 +18,7 @@ export GAMES_PREFIX=${GAMES_PREFIX:-/usr/games} export GAMES_PREFIX_OPT=${GAMES_PREFIX_OPT:-/opt} -export GAMES_DATADIR=${GAMES_DATADIR:-/usr/share/games} +export GAMES_DATADIR=${GAMES_DATADIR:-/usr/share/games/${PN}} export GAMES_DATADIR_BASE=${GAMES_DATADIR_BASE:-/usr/share} # some packages auto append 'games' export GAMES_SYSCONFDIR=${GAMES_SYSCONFDIR:-/etc/games} export GAMES_STATEDIR=${GAMES_STATEDIR:-/var/games}
