Bug 43563 – games-strategy/triplea-0.3.3.ebuild (New Package)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Will McQueen 2004-03-02 23:01:29 UTC]

TripleA is an open source clone of the popular Axis and Allies boardgame.  It's written in Java and built using Ant.

I took the liberty of modifying (via a patch) the saved games directory from the installation directory to (~/.triplea/savedGames).  I also jar'ed up the classes directory for simplification purposes.

Criticism of my ebuild style/technique is appreciated.

Reproducible: Always

Quality ebuild.  Just a few minor comments:

trim trailing whitespace
dodir takes a list of directories, no need to call it multiple times
prefer sed to patch for small changes like this one
always stack depends vertically so they're easier to see
don't name the package again in the DESCRIPTION.  so, "A game..." instead of
     "Foo is a game..."
use unpack ${A} to unpack sources in the general case

When I first tried this ebuild, it failed to compile because I was missing junit
from my system.  Be sure to comb over the deps that are needed to build a
package successfully.

I touched up the ebuild and added it as games-strategy/triplea to CVS.  I
didn't test it with jikes since I don't have it installed, so it's in testing
until there's some additional feedback from someone who has jikes in their
USE flags.

Seems to be working for people.  I went ahead and marked it stable in portage.

Will - wanna take a shot at getting 0.4.8 working?  I don't know java well
enough to make it work and they've changed the code around upstream.

[Comment 6 Will McQueen 2004-06-10 07:36:08 UTC]

Sure.  I should have some time this weekend, I'll see how far I can get.

0.4.8 to 0.4.8-r1 diff with savedGames option

This is a diff of the 0.4.8 ebuild that will create a file called
triplea.properties and stick it in the data dir.

This will default triplea's savedGames dir to the users home directory.
Sorry it took so long for me to get to it.

Whoops, that diff is backwards.  I think I need to go to bed now.  :)
