games-rpg/eternal-lands version 1.7.0 is available. Current version on portage 1.6.0 does not work anymore as the server requests only the new version. (see bug #215372)
I tried to change only the one line in eternal-lands-1.6.0.ebuild to ECVS_BRANCH="elc_1_7_0" looks like it works but I did not test it too much (the data (eternal-lands-data) may need something like this too)
Thanks for doing some investigation. The tweak to the tag probably is all it will take, and maybe some dependency updates. The data files might require an ebuild patch - it seems like EL likes to change their directory structure in their distribution files every time they make a new release, just to annoy people like us... :) I'll be on this ASAP, but probably not until sometime tomorrow...
Ok, everything builds but I'm getting some segfaults. I suspect it is a bad error handler, but it may be being triggered due to a missing dependency. I posted on the EL forum and I'll probably have a working ebuild in portage soon. If I don't resolve this soon I'll post the ebuilds for others to try - if the problem isn't widespread I might just commit what I have now and fix it as soon as I can. Right now I suspect nobody can log into EL with the current build anyway...
I was able to play some time with the new client (until I went to sleep) - no segfault, only sometimes message about missing xml file, but the game did run as usual (I was able to harvest, eat, talk on GM, send PM, travel map/between maps, use storage ... i did not tested fight, also i would not notice small changes in graphics (dark/rain/some extras) as i do not notice it at all usually and my comp has very basic graphic card, so the results are suboptimal anyway) If you have some ebuild for data, i can try/test it on this comp, where all dependencies was already satisfied (I played EL for couple of month now) Not extra value in such tests but it may help to know, that segfaults are configuration dependant instead of simply broken program/data ... so some players can enjoy it if they are lucky too :)
Are you using the packaged client? That client is statically linked, so it doesn't depend on anything installed on your system. I'll patch the ebuilds a little later today, but I need to edit them as I've added a patch to them...
I do not know. I thing I am using the CVS as the only thing i did was 1) cp eternal-lands-1.6.0.ebuild /usr/local/portage/games-rpg/eternal-lands/eternal-lands-1.6.9.ebuild (because 1.6.9> 1.6.0 (existing) && 1.6.9<1.7.0 (new official) - creating my portdir_overlay version) 2) ECVS_BRANCH="elc_1_6_0" => ECVS_BRANCH="elc_1_7_0" 3) ebuild eternal-lands-1.6.9.ebuild digest 4) emerge eternal-lands -DubN 5) el (starting client) anyway I an using the equivalent of oficial ebuild, only with the 1 line changed. And it compiled something, not only extracted. Plus in /usr/portage/distfiles is cvs-src/elc with today date and elc_private.h contains #define VER_STRING "1.7.0.0" #define FILE_VERSION "1.7.0" #define PRODUCT_VERSION "1.7.0" (and others defs too) So I bet I am using CVS compiled version, not statically linked from radu.
I did not patched the eternal-lands-data, so i thing i am using old one (1.6.0) data/pictures. On first graphics screen are now 3 buttons (new game/login/black rectangle - missing picture IMHO - old data set on my comp) two days before there was only first two and in different places.
I use this comp every day for everything (I write some python programs and play games there), so it is full of devel libraries, python packages and so ... so probabely all dependencies are satisfied even if not metioned anywhere ... and I synced yesterday, so all libraries are in new version (I know, bad settings for testing/debugging dependence related problems, so I only can say I am able to play and there is "some" way how to satisfy everything and compile/run without crash) (BTW: Sorry, I am not native speaker, so my English is for sure not correct)

Ok, sounds like you're doing everything right. I'll get something out here soon so that you can have the data files. I suspect that there is an issue with the version of smpeg in portage, but that must only come up in certain circumstances. I am running into issues both 32-bit and 64-bit. We'll get this figured out soon...
Ok, I have added 1.7.0 to portage. I have also logged bug 232119 to track the segfault issues. If you don't have this error more power to you, but in the meantime I'll continue to track it down and post a -r1 when I have a patch. The current version won't work any longer anyway, so this is better than nothing...
