Would love to have this in portage, so that users may play on the IGS Go server using this spiffy-looking glGo client. Not sure all of which Hardware Platforms it will run on, but x86 for sure. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Please look at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-howto.xml for instructions how to create ebuild files.
Questionable license - I don't think I'm interested. If you come up with a working ebuild, feel free to attach it here. I'm closing this bug as WONT though since we're not allowed to distribute the artwork and images.
I tried to make one, but the problem is that they use their own installer which doesn't work well when used inside portage... And there are also licence problems.

Created attachment 76521 [details] This is just such an ebuild! I mistakingly made a new bug 118279, not realizing there was already a req.

Pulling the RPM seems to work fine, but I suppose there should be a RESTRICT="fetch" in the ebuild.
It appears that the tar.gz version is perfectly feasible. The archieve includes: 1) Installer script 2) Uninstaller script 3) tar file with stuff to be installed I'm making an updated ebuild that should be availble soon.
Okay, here's the improved ebuild I promised. It's uses the tar.gz version and seems to work very well. Just some important notes: The license boils down to redistributing the package. Thus, the packaged cannot be mirrored by gentoo servers (RESTRICT="nomirror"). However, it does give the user the permission to "download, install and use" this software which is exactly what ebuilds do. Thus, this ebuild is "legal." Next, there's a library file that contains a text relocation and executable stack. Thus, it *probably* won't work under AMD64. Since this is a binary (and due to the license), it will be up to upstream to fix this. Unlike the previous ebuild, this installs itself to /opt/glgo which is the correct location because everything is precompiled. I don't know about the "vile" hack thing. It doesnt appear to be nessary or normal. Scripts that come with the package can be found it /opt/glgo/bin/ The command to start glGo is glGo. There should be a menu shortcut. I would have added an icon except for the "data.dat" wtfery and the license. The dependencies in this ebuild a lot more complete. It no longer uses xorg-x11. I also used ldd to dig out some of the undocumented (glitz, libcaca, xinerama? what the?). Also, I'd like to point out that gnugo is installed at: /usr/games/bin/gnugo For anyone who wants to give gnugo a go (I'm done)
Created attachment 92635 [details] games-board/glgo-1.4.ebuild This is the ebuild
Created attachment 92637 [details] licenses/panda This is the panda license and goes in the licenses folder of your portage tree.
Created attachment 92639 [details] games-board/glgo-1.4.ebuild Sorry, I didn't realize that the doc USE flag was not for whether or not to install docs. Fixed that.
The current 1.4 ebuild ( http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=92639 in case the word "current" becomes obsolete at some point) requires a ">=dev-libs/expat-2" dependency. dev-libs/expat-1* only supplies a libexpat.so.0 - glGo is linked against libexpat.so.1.
I use Gentoo for six years. And I always sick of lake of software. I thought when there is .tgz then it can be easily to have a .ebuild But, NO. There're too many products can not work on Gentoo. Even the most interesting and exicting online board game of Go can not have a sereisly consider. I don't care about license, it's already have .deb and .rpm and their .tgz cannot work on gentoo. Please done it. Their are plenty player more than Chess. THX
