When you do "emerge mindless" you will get an error saying 404 to downling http://home.dmv.com/~rast/patch.zip. This file is not available for download anymore. this file contains the file "cardinfo.dat" and I have been able to get that file from someone else trough irc. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1: just type: "emerge mindless" Actual Results: You get an error saying that http://home.dmv.com/~rast/patch.zip results into a "404, file not found" error. Expected Results: just downloaded it and installed it. This is a way on how to solve it: 1. run emerge mindless and let if fail. 2. go to the /usr/portage/games-puzzle/mindless 3. open the mindless-1.5.ebuild file 4. search for the part saying (it is close to the top) "SRC_URI="mirror://sourceforge/mindless/${P}.tar.gz http://home.dmv.com/~rast/patch.zip" " 5. remove the last link containing the patch.zip 6. save and exit. 7. run "emerge mindless" but after unpacking the source, press CTRL + Z (THIS IS NEEDED!!) 8. Get the file cardinfo.dat from someone or some where. 9. Put it in dir /var/tmp/portage/mindless-1.5/work/ 10. type in the console: "fg" to resume the compilation 11. after its done type: "mindless" and voila, you have a working magic app on screen :) The file should be something that contains the file cardinfo.dat which is needed, but you can let the program not use that and let the user get it them self. I don't know where you can download it, I just got it from someone trough the irc. but this bug causes that you can't just emerge it, you have to do a huge work around (stated above) to get it installed
Created attachment 40475 [details] this is the file that the zip file is supposed to contain the file containing all the info from all the cards

I think someone should modify the ebuild in the portage tree, because, as i learned from mindless website, the file CardInfo.dat could not be distributed, but freely downloaded from magic the gathering website
Nomadstar.. unfortuantly that is not the case, with version 1.5 I tried to use that file but it could not use it, the problem is that the file is the database file form apprentice, which is updated every 3-4 months or so, and there for hard to distrubute... The emerge should be modified that it does not need that file, so that the user have to get it by himself, as you can get the file from the apprentice.zip on www.magic-league.com A notice that the user should get it himself would be handy.. when 1.6 is out there should be a look whether if the file could be retrieved from www.wizards.com (as on the mindless website) or if it still need the .dat file...
Fixed in CVS. Thanks for the bug report.
