Bug 107048 – games-board/biloba-0.4 (New Package)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Alexandre Buisse (RETIRED) 2005-09-23 16:38:55 UTC]

Biloba is an abstract game that will (hopefully) soon be commercialized as a
real board game. It looks like checkers but has different rules and allows
between 2 and 4 players.
The software includes network gaming and a computer player.

Unfortunately, all of the interface, including rules description, is currently
in french. I have asked upstream for an english translation but am not sure if
and when it will be done.

games-board/biloba/biloba-0.2.ebuild

Same ebuild with various fixes:
 - fixed shared files install path (use egamesconf instead of econf)
 - fixed deps (RDEPEND was forced to empty, sdl-image was missing)
 - fixed indentation and whitelines
http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm/docs/mw-faq/spacing.txt
 - shorter description
http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm/docs/mw-faq/toolong.txt
 - removed TODO from dodoc since it's empty

Other than that, the game runs fine for me too (x86 too), although i think it
may be a bit early to put it in portage (in particular because it's in french
only).

biloba-0.3.ebuild

Bumped my previous ebuild to 0.3. Also added a .desktop file. This version also
support english, so i think it could be candidate for inclusion.

[Comment 4 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2005-09-26 17:32:10 UTC]

It puts the data files in the wrong place.  It should put them in GAMES_DATADIR
but instead it puts them in /usr/games/share/...

[Comment 5 TGL 2005-09-26 18:35:00 UTC]

Err, right... i definitly hate this share/games vs. games/share thing :)

Two possible fixed ebuilds follow, don't know which one you'll prefer:
 - first one does some quick sed on some Makefile.in
 - second one uses applies a patch to some Makefile.am so that they honor
--datadir, and run automake

I will also submit the patch of the later fix upstream.

Same typo.

[Comment 11 Colin Leroy 2005-09-26 23:46:58 UTC]

Hi there,

patch applied, and 0.3 ships with an english translation.

hth :)

[Comment 12 TGL 2005-09-27 05:08:29 UTC]

One more thing... whatever ebuild version is choosen, this should be added at
the end of src_unpack:

	sed -i '/^#define DEBUG_IMG_LOAD/d' src/utils.c

(otherwise, biloba tries to create a "debug.txt" file, and crash if in a
non-writable directory)


@Colin: thanks for the pretty fast patch inclusion ;-)

[Comment 13 Piotr Szymaniak 2006-07-28 00:37:44 UTC]

*bump*

Bilboa 0.4 available.

[Comment 14 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2006-07-29 01:28:14 UTC]

Wanna attach an ebuild for 0.4?

Have you sent these patches upstream?

[Comment 21 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2006-10-02 00:11:53 UTC]

So... does network mode just not work at all or what?

[Comment 22 TGL 2006-10-02 11:22:03 UTC]

Oops, i had never tried network game...

It seems to somehow work, although it took me a few tries.
 - player #1 creates the network game, and launches it (and gets a "waiting 1 player" screen),
 - player #2 clicks on the join button, then the game name, then the launch button.
But even then, although it works, one of the two window (player #1 i think) is not correctly refreshed (when the opponent moves, his stone disappear but it not redrawn until player #1 has played too).

[Comment 23 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2006-10-02 14:02:11 UTC]

Well, it's in portage anyhow.  The single player and hot-seat play is fun.
