Description Peter Asplund 2010-12-19 15:00:32 UTC
An open-source game with a blend of first person shooter and tank combat, focusing on multiplayer gaming exclusively.

It seems to be mature, and is now also released open source. Recently the 2.0 version was released for both Linux and Windows.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

ebuild stub

This is the current status of my ebuild. It is still a stub and not very useful, but at least it should pull in most dependencies.

Looks like there is no source tarball with the release. A subversion checkout seems to be the only way to get the source code:

https://zeroballistics.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/zeroballistics/tags/v2.0/

update

Still not working, but doing more:

- inherit subverison eclass
- checkout subversion repository
- additional dependency: >=dev-libs/ferrisloki-3.0.3
- no more SRC_URI
- cleanup

Zero Ballistics depends on raknet. As far as I can see, this is a project available on

http://www.jenkinssoftware.com/raknet/index.html

I would like to here some comments about the license of raknet and its usage in Gentoo:

another update of zeroballistics-2.0.ebuild

- patch CMakeLists.txt to use FerrisLoki instead of original loki
- set include path for CEGUI
- fixate cegui version to 0.6*
- use cmake-utils functions for configure and compile

Compile process now fails when trying to include raknet. Feel free to fix this and develop this ebuild further.

This would still be fun to get in...

There seems to be ebuilds floating around for RakNet, we should probably take a look at them and see if it builds nowdays.

I wrote this bug 10 years ago and I think that we can close it as "Obsolete" or "Won't fix" by now :)
