Description Ivan Yosifov 2005-05-27 06:51:50 UTC
It is annoying when the doom3 ebuild asks for the CDs on each doom3 upgrade,
when the files copied from the CDs have not changed and only the linux-native
part has. Please, split the ebuild into doom3-data which copies all the needed
files from the CDs and doom3 which installs the linux-native part, and put
doom3-data in RDEPEND of doom3, just like ut2004.

Reproducible: Always

No.

If you don't want to pull out your CD set every time, then don't use
USE=cdinstall.  The files on the Doom3 CD are not compressed or stored in any
way other than exactly what the game needs.  The UT2004 system, on the other
hand, has every file packed individually.  If I were to ask the user to do this,
it would be a daunting task.

Asking the user to copy a few files from a CD is not.

Wooops. Forgot I had put cdinstall in USE. My bad, thanks for reminding me of it.
