Tonight I'll add an ebuild for it I made. I could maintain it too. As this is my first ebuild, any remark will be welcomed.
Created attachment 260678 [details] CorsixTH-0.5_beta ebuild This is my first ebuild. I'll take any remarks much to heart :)
Hello, The Gentoo Team would like to firstly thank you for your ebuild submission. We also apologize for not being able to accommodate you in a timely manner. There are simply too many new packages. Allow me to use this opportunity to introduce you to Gentoo Sunrise. The sunrise overlay[1] is a overlay for Gentoo which we allow trusted users to commit to and all users can have ebuilds reviewed by Gentoo devs for entry into the overlay. So, the sunrise team is suggesting that you look into this and submit your ebuild to the overlay where even *you* can commit to. =) Thanks, On behalf of the Gentoo Sunrise Team, Markos.

Created attachment 354256 [details] corsix-th-0.21-r1.ebuild I'll maintain this one. It is a nice game and has been under active development for quite a while, with recent releases. I've patched the ebuild to install into $gamesdir/corsix-th instead of $gamesdir/CorsixTH to be more coherent with the ebuild name (Gentoo's policy is to avoid uppercase in ebuild names). I also made the game icon show up in XDG compatible desktop-menus.

Can you guys please test the new ebuild? If everything is alright, I'll push this into portage in the following days.
I should mention CorsixTH bundles its own copy of libagg. I had a patch for fixing that, but it broke, so I dropped it. Not sure if that's a critical issue. As for your ebuild, you might as well rename the nodoc patch. Historically, it was for CorsixTH 0.7, but that version was never in portage, so that versioning doesn't really make sense. Other than that, all the changes look good.

I just tested it, it installs in /usr/share/games/corsix-th and the game launches fine. I checked the permissions and they seem to be fine. All good!
