Bug 139497 – Add a USE flag for World of Warcraft support.

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Andrew Riedi 2006-07-06 16:18:21 UTC]

Right now World of Warcraft requires a patch for memory issues.  Upstream does not accept application specific patches, thus they will not accept this patch.  People have been using a "wow patch" for over a year.  I wanted to make it eaiser on people, so I edited the ebuild for support.  The new ebuild has support for a new, local, "wow" use flag.  It toggles the "wow patch."  This should not be problem, since the way the "wow patch" works, it should not break any program, and I have never heard of it breaking anything else.  If it does happen to break, people can always turn the flag off.  If needed, I can maintain the ebuild, because I go to winehq.org twice a day to check if there are any updates.  Thank you for support.  If you have any questions, or if I can do anything to improve it before it will be accepted, that would be great.  I will post both the ebuild and the patch as replys/attachments.  Reply if there is anything else I can do.  I know many people would really enjoy this option/use flag.  After all, Gentoo is about choice.

This is the edited ebuild

This is the ebuild.  I added -r1 onto the end of it so people know it has an option, if this is incorrect, let me know.

Games doesn't have anything to do with WINE.
