Bug 505610 – games-action/lugaru-demo should be removed

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Alexander Berntsen (RETIRED) 2014-03-25 10:05:19 UTC]

Pardon the authoritative-sounding title; this is more of a question. With Lugaru becoming free software[0], do we even need this package any more? Does it make sense to download a binary demo instead of compiling the actual game from source?

This must have been a temporary issue, as I've just tested downloading and it worked fine.

[code]
# emerge -v -f --nodeps lugaru-demo

Does not seem so. The only reason for such a thing is that the game features a multiplayer mode (because custom compiled binaries can mess up netcode compatibility, lead to desyncs and whatnot).
