While testing for bug 307373 I found out that the NWN HotU XP2 cd is recognized as the Neverwinter Nights Platinum DVD/CD set, when it is mounted in the cd drive and the install is started. This leads to trying to copy the wrong files, error messages about files not found and asking for the second disc that does not exists. The ebuild determines the type of cd based on one file that is also present on the HotU XP2 cd. This is incorrect and the ebuild should have a more robust method of detecting the correct disc. One possible way could be to calculate the md5sum of some files and determine the type of cd based on that. For the HotU-XP2 cd the md5sums of the files in the cd root are (the readme.txt might be the most useful in this case): b0c5479dd84afcf202e9f4c8e1d90b23 /mnt/cdrom/AUTORUN.INF f40285fc9652fd327731c415aef29487 /mnt/cdrom/AcroReader51_ENU.exe f1f3b1ad503a196270f9ce4bc23d8d85 /mnt/cdrom/ArcadeInstallNWNXP213f.EXE b8668f43f2ac7c726a0df2ad4783813d /mnt/cdrom/CriticalRebuild.exe feff5f08197ed1ea8e1521e67c92ba20 /mnt/cdrom/CriticalRebuild.ini a23d596c8a0c87ecd55be4fbf10317c8 /mnt/cdrom/Data_Shared.zip 904b67a4b1f25a266a8475e372d4fcc0 /mnt/cdrom/EULA.txt 47a0d3aa22ced79971e8670e07e058a6 /mnt/cdrom/Language_data.zip f2eea0220f1c70782dda27064345e12a /mnt/cdrom/Language_update.zip e33008f24bbbbc079029ae4429293199 /mnt/cdrom/NWN Hordes Install Guide.rtf 1aeb989e361af85f5099de3da25457f4 /mnt/cdrom/Setup.exe ee4f20dec6f6af7e88d23861e792a89c /mnt/cdrom/Setup.ini e50580da481662277702f32ed703d9c3 /mnt/cdrom/autorun.exe 0149e185abe2b93e40047a020e34a2d5 /mnt/cdrom/data1.cab f219208ae9f4292afc8b5f8e67ca38c7 /mnt/cdrom/data1.hdr 6f66196962f2d78a0c86ec91bec7ef9a /mnt/cdrom/data2.cab 93b63f516482715a784bbec3a0bf5f3a /mnt/cdrom/ikernel.ex_ c182912d215b8c31b21189c62b0be88d /mnt/cdrom/layout.bin 40ff54a04c0f454f62765f0dd2448138 /mnt/cdrom/nwn.ico f6bb3f6bf0caed14d1ab0f1dea44f293 /mnt/cdrom/readme.txt 03a01d22277ffc06f91b475696946b81 /mnt/cdrom/setup.bmp ab82958b7aa94eaad1600b616e04f110 /mnt/cdrom/setup.inx Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge nwn-data with HotU XP2 cd already mounted. 2. 3.

The same issue might surface with the SoU XP1 cd, but I haven't tested this. emerge --info Portage 2.1.8.3 (default/linux/x86/10.0, gcc-4.3.4, glibc-2.10.1-r1, 2.6.32-gentoo-r7 i686) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.32-gentoo-r7-i686-Mobile_AMD_Sempron-tm-_Processor_2800+-with-gentoo-1.12.13 Timestamp of tree: Fri, 07 May 2010 16:00:01 +0000 distcc 3.1 i686-pc-linux-gnu [enabled] app-shells/bash: 4.0_p37 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.10 dev-lang/python: 2.6.4-r1, 3.1.2-r1 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.1.0_beta1 dev-util/cmake: 2.6.4-r3 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.13 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.6-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.65 sys-devel/automake: 1.9.6-r3, 1.10.3, 1.11.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.20.1 sys-devel/gcc: 4.3.4 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.6b virtual/os-headers: 2.6.30-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" ACCEPT_LICENSE="* -@EULA" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/X11/xkb /var/spool/torque" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/php/apache2-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-php5/ext-active/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="assume-digests collision-protect distcc distlocks fixpackages news nostrip parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict test test-fail-continue unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch userpriv" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1,--as-needed" MAKEOPTS="-j1" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="7zip X acl acpi alsa avahi berkdb bzip2 cairo cli cracklib crypt cxx dbus dri encode fam ffmpeg flac fortran fts3 gdbm gmp gnutls gpm gtk hal iconv icu ipv6 ithreads java5 jpeg libnotify mmx modules mudflap ncurses nls nptl nptlonly ogg openexr opengl openmp pam pcre perl pic player png pppd python rdesktop readline reflection sdl session sockets spl sqlite sqlite3 sse sse2 ssl startup-notification svg sysfs tcpd theora threads truetype unicode vnc vorbis x86 xcb xcomposite xorg zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1 emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" RUBY_TARGETS="ruby18" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="radeonhd" XTABLES_ADDONS="quota2 psd pknock lscan length2 ipv4options ipset ipp2p iface geoip fuzzy condition tee tarpit sysrq steal rawnat logmark ipmark dhcpmac delude chaos account" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
Thanks for the idea. Unfortunately this is almost impossible to do since the file lists were gathered over many years. Whenever NWN was released in a different package we would simply add the necessary code to the ebuild. The information would come from developers (some of the retired), or in bugs here, in emails straight to us, etc... There are a few editions which are only available in some countries and/or in small volumes, so I'm not even sure we can recover them all now. To implement this would require going back to these people and asking them to provide checksums. It would be a huge effort even if we knew how to contact them all. Also it seems this happened because you inserted the XP2 CD first instead of CD1. So, usually it shouldn't happen if you follow instructions. I'm going to close this bug RESOLVED WONFIX. Feel free to reopen if you think this isn't right or if you have a patch. Thanks, Denis.
