Bug 79949 – Balazar - ebuild request

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description guillaume beauregard 2005-01-29 05:42:28 UTC]

Balazar is a 3D 
role playing game with nice graphics.
It uses same deps as slune (python, soya,...), so the ebuild shouldn't be so different than slune ebuild.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. copy the slune ebuilds into your PORTDIR_OVERLAY in the games-action/balazar subdir
2. change the file name into balazar-0.1.ebuild
3. edit this file and replace all slune keyword into balazar
4. perform an emerge --digest balazar in order to install it
Actual Results:  
The emerge seems to work but when you try to execute the game (with balazar),
you might get this error :

...
...
* Balazar * (Psyco not found ; if you are using an x86 processor, installing
psyco can speed up Balazar a little)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/balazar", line 110, in ?
    soya.set_root_widget(soya.widget.Image(None, soya.Material.get("splash"),
resize_style = ("maximize",)))
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'resize_style'
* Soya3D * Quit...

Initial ebuild for Balazar-0.1

This works fine on my system.. If you find any errors or have any enhancements
let me know..
Issue: unmerging will leave some .pyo files int /usr/share/games/balazar. I
have to look at a work around to get authors install script to work correctly
with Gentoo emerge..

Sets install paths to comply with Gentoo directory structure.

Updated ebuild to manage path changes.. Patch/diff not required anymore.

Updated ebuild - no diff/patch required and unmerges cleanly now.

WIP ebuild for balazar-0.2

This is a work-in-progress ebuild for Balazar 0.2 . I corrected the
dependencies (ie. cal3d is not needed because it is a dep of soya).

However the game fails to start (at least on my machine) because of a missing
symbol. I asked Jiba on the balazar mailinglist about this. Maybe we'll see an
update soon.

working ebuild for balazar-0.2

This one contains the correct dependencies:
- soya 0.10.1 (0.10 might work, but the latter is a newer bug fix release)
- tofu (a network library for which I just submitted an ebuild)

[Comment 9 Bryan Østergaard (RETIRED) 2005-09-29 16:09:13 UTC]

We're not adding tofu as it has serious security problems. See bug 105060.

Guess I'll mark this WONTFIX as well then.
