rwbs-0.27 is an ebuild for the Roger Wilco base station, which is distributed binary-only for Linux on x86. "Roger Wilco is a real-time voice chat technology that enhances communication among users of the Internet." It's used mostly by Windows gamers for talking back and forth in things like flight simulators where communication is key but most games lack voice chat functionality. The license is nonstandard (not that there are too many standard binary licenses), and I don't know the procedure for handling that, so I simply left the license field out.

...sigh...
nothing personal, but nothing is going to be put into portage until after the 1.4 release once that happens we'll be opening up a whole lotta bugs for new additions
I'm working on this now. The files need to be dropped into /usr/share/rwbs instead of /usr/rwbs, and the binaries need to get over to /usr/bin, but other then that I should have this in for testing soon. Sorry for the delay, and thanks for the ebuild delta407!
I like the inclusion of an init script to start rwbs, but I just found this on http://rogerwilco.gamespy.com/products/downloads/rwbsdload.html : # There were occasional crashes for Linux and FreeBSD, but these should be fixed now in v0.27. All users should run the run_rwbs script (included in the distribution) rather than calling rwbs directly -- it provides recovery from crashes. I noticed the init script *does* call rwbs directly. I'll see if I can possibly retool it to work as stated. Any info on your part on this?
I've looked at run_rwbs at it seems to be a suedo init script dealy. So for the moment we're going to try thing without it. It's supposed to protect against crashes, but let's be optimistic and assume there will be none! I've moved the binaries to /usr/bin, edited the init script to call from that location, watched Exorcist 3, and everything seems to start up just fine. No problems here. rwbs has been commited to portage keyworded as ~x86 for the time being. You'll need `ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86"` in your /etc/make.conf for emerge to see it. Test away and let me know.
Closing bug. Letting it take it's course from testing to stable.
I just had a guy I know 'emerge rwbs' for his squad; it worked 'out of the box'.
