Description SpanKY gentoo-dev 2002-07-14 17:46:49 UTC
QuakeForge is a 3D graphics game engine based on id Software's legendary Quake 
and QuakeWorld game engine.

Basically a quake 1 engine that is kept up-to-date and is quite sweet w/GPL 
license.

there is only one problem with QuakeForge but i hope someone can provide a 
solution ...

they release their source as 'quakeforge-current.tar.bz2' ...
this means when they update the release, the md5 sum on the file changes, but 
not the name ...
Comment 3 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-07-14 20:19:12 UTC
yeah, we take a snapshot, and then put it on the gentoo mirrors, and point
SRC_URI to the mirrors.

another question ...

i browsed existing ebuilds inorder to find a standard or example, but none 
worked the same way ...
i was trying to figure out what would be 'best' for the current gentoo setup 
when making this ebuild.  i had a choice as to where to install this 
package ... i looked at '/usr', '/usr/local/quakeforge', 
and '/usr/local/games/quakeforge'

some games install into '/usr', some into '/usr/local/games' ... also, some 
packages which have their own set of libraries/headers/binaries install 
into '/usr/local/<pkg>' ... one case is icecast

my question is simply, which should i have chosen in your opinion ? (i settled 
on /usr since that puts the binaries/libraries into $PATH variables and the 
most common locations)
Comment 5 José Alberto Suárez López 2002-07-15 18:46:47 UTC
i think that for the moment the best place is usr
