Seems that SRC_URI cannot be corrected in pkg_setup(), so you need to specify
the language of your CivCTP-CD in your USE-flags prefixed by "civctp-". 
Thus, if you have the english version of civctp, your USE must contain:
civctp-english

You can install another language of civctp by adding "langpatch" to USE and
exporting the CTP_LANG variable prior to emerging (e.g. export
CTP_LANG=italian, if you want italian sounds and menus). Without CTP_LANG being
set, CTP_LANG=english is assumed.

Corrected typo in die Message, this is CivCTP...

I just ordered this game from Tuxgames... when it comes in, I'll look over the ebuild and the install options and work with you to get an acceptable ebuild into portage.

Any trial/shipping news?

[Comment 5 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2005-08-15 06:27:10 UTC]

Well, I really dislike the whole language thing, which is my primary reason for
not adding this.  I think it is an ugly hack, no offense, and simply feel that
it would end up causing more bugs than it is worth, especially as we already
have LINGUAS in use in other places (KDE?) in the tree.  I haven't spent much
time on this, since the game works perfectly fine doing a manual installation,
until such time as a proper solution for the languages can be determined.

[Comment 6 Holger Thon 2005-08-15 08:51:57 UTC]

Yes, it has been translated to too many languages, so perhaps you are right that
it could make it difficult to ensure the ebuild works with any version of the game.
Maybe it's best to close this bug, then.

[Comment 7 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2005-08-29 07:11:00 UTC]

OK.  Here is what I meant.  In Gentoo, the LINGUAS variable is expanded out into
USE flags that can be used.  There is no reason to use local USE flags for this.

Check out bug #96640 to see how they're doing it for NWN.  I would also make it
default to always download English since English is the "official" Gentoo language.

Does that make sense?

This ebuild is slightly modified to use the new lokigames mirror rotation and
also the LINGUAS make.conf variable.  I have *only* edited it through the
SRC_URI section, so I don't know if this will work, as I don't have my media
handy with me at work.	This should get you going in the right direction,
however.
