ebuild for QuakeWars server for linux ebuild been used to put under package management a QW server for a clan that uses gentoo for its server first stab, a bit crude (will revbump soon). This is nomedia so you need to have the game data (pak000.pk4...) for it to function AND download source is via fileplanet-like network at the moment (a direct link may be aval at a later date) So pre-fetch on server *.run & manual fetching of PAK data (am working on the -media installer ebuild that comes with the PAK) Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 132333 [details] ETQW-server-1.1.ebuild stoopid *.run package is an "invalid" zip archive so "unpack" ebuild command doesnt work
See example ebuilds: find /usr/portage/ -name \*.ebuild | xargs grep unpack_makeself | grep run And see ebuild at http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-591320.html Rename the summary and attachment to be meaningful.
that is my post on forums.gentoo.org that you are referencing will do the find command
plus did initially try the "unpack_makeself" since I used the doom3 ebuild for reference HOWEVER... the *>run that splashdamage provides is 1) invalid zip archive (so unpack fails) 2) there is no make within the *>run so unpack_makeself fails hence reverting to crude "unzip" as stated will refine the build

Created attachment 133096 [details] etqw-ded-1.1.4.ebuild New "revision" (why can't hugely-successful games developers use proper version numbers?).
hehe yer I know.... thats what minor-numbers in version numbers are for yr ebuild layout alot better then my quick-n-dirty hack and the: MY_PV="${VER}-full.r${REV}" just needs to be changed to MY_PV="${VER}-nomedia.r${REV}" for that to work (an 11meg d/l is great for us that have the game but also admin a server). I was looking at a way of using a USE flag (say nomedia) which if set choses the different source as well as prints the final post_install message BUT since MY_PV and SRC_URL get set before things like USE flags are check (I think) don't think that will work Would be good if it was just one ebuild that did full&nomedia

Err... Did anybody think to use the cdinstall USE flag for choosing whether to use the media or not? I won't accept two ebuilds when it isn't necessary. SRC_URI can use a USE flag, just fine. You'll just need two different MY_PV for the different downloads. Otherwise, it's looking good, guys. Keep up the good work.
Gentoo gamers are quite capable of screwing up such a seemingly simple task as copying several files from the DVD into a specific directory and ensuring that the "games" group can read them, and also ignoring elog messages. And then the game gives a cryptic error message, rather than mentioning that zpakblah from the installation DVD is missing. So we just end up with stupid "bug" reports on the forums or bugzilla. So, in my opinion, "cdinstall" is just asking for annoyance.
... What? I'm talking about for the installation to determine whether to use the nomedia download or not. If USE=cdinstall, download the right upstream file and pull the rest from the CD, otherwise, download the larger upstream that doesn't require the media.
