Bug 233011 – Version bump for games-strategy/lightyears

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description chris salch 2008-07-26 17:48:57 UTC]

I worked out an ebuild for the 1.3a version of lightyears.  It looks like the author has had source available for 1.3a released for a while.    In any event, the sounds in 1.3a are much much nicer to than the previous ones.

Thanks for the ebuild

The -1.3a {ebuild,patch} set works to install a good lightyears game on amd64 and on sparc.  -1.3a has the added advantage that it uses /usr/bin/python to run it instead of /usr/bin/python2.4, so it works "out of the box" with current stable python.  I'm adding myself to the CC because once this gets added to the tree, it can have a ~sparc keyword, no need for a spearate bug to request it.

HOWEVER, -1.3a does not install the manual because the manual .html files are now in a separate directory parallel to their image directory.  The following change to the -1.3a.ebuild file installs the complete manual in a way that you can read it while you play (verified with dillo).

Good game with some interesting twists.

lightyears-1.3a ebuild which installs the manual and which adds ~sparc keyword.

Attached new lightyears-1.3a.ebuild adds the ~sparc keyword (because it works just fine on sparc) and installs the complete manual, thus:

/usr/share/doc/lightyears-1.3a/html/data    <<- manual data (.png) files;
/usr/share/doc/lightyears-1.3a/html/manual  << actual manual (.html) files

The manual's *.html files expect to read images from ../data/*.png files
