Description Mark Miller 2004-11-29 20:52:59 UTC

I assume since xbattle hasn't been worked on since _1996_, they decided to take down the web page: http://cns-web.bu.edu/pub/xpip/html/xbattle.html

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Look at the ebuild information for xbattle
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
*  games-strategy/xbattle
      Latest version available: 5.4.1
      Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ]
      Size of downloaded files: 125 kB
      Homepage:    http://cns-web.bu.edu/pub/xpip/html/xbattle.html
      Description: A multi-player game of strategy and coordination
      License:     xbattle


Expected Results:  
I don't believe anyone is maintaining xbattle anymore. I believe xbattleai
should be added instead into portage, this will be filed as a seperate bug.
