Description Branko Grubic 2015-01-14 16:09:45 UTC
gnome-chess supports playing against computer, but with external chess engine/s. I'm not sure which engines are supported, 'gnuchess' is. 
To me looks like this is just runtime dependency, I did make some changes to ebuild and it pulls in gnuchess, but not sure is this the right way. (works for me)

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
Not possible to play against computer

Expected Results:  
Playing against computer is available

Adding use flags for all the possible chess engines is a losing battle.  Probably the best we can do is add a list of possibilities to the elog output at the end of the merge.
Comment 3 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2015-01-14 21:48:16 UTC
A list with either the readme or the "optional stuff" eclass would be a good idea indeed.
