Looks good. I'll try it tomorrow.

I tried it. The only thing I think is wrong is that it installs everything from basev folder, including all source of the data. See Makefile for list of files that need to be installed.

ok, thanks for the information! <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) --> I'll fix the ebuild in the next days!

Ebuild updated, now installs only needed data files. Added also "dedicated" USE flag, which enables building of Dedicated Server.

That looks better.

I've updated the ebuild, for new 1.21.1 version. Gentoo Linux users, test it as much as possible <!-- s8) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cool.gif" alt="8)" title="Cool" /><!-- s8) -->

Added another ebuild, for 3d Models.

Added two patch that fixes some issue. Further details on Gentoo Bugzilla bug or on the Changelog in the first post <!-- s8) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cool.gif" alt="8)" title="Cool" /><!-- s8) -->

Added patch for Statusbar visualization bug (see this topic), and merged all patches in a single .diff file

Added patch for gcc4 compiling issues, and updated SVN ebuild.

Updated to version 1.21.2

Great work, as usual. Here are some notes: 1. You are missing dependency on libjpeg (sorry, forgot to add it to the documentation). 2. TNT and Plutonia don't need Doom 1 specific textures. 3. TNT doesn't need Doom 1 soundtrack.

Ok, thanks a lot for the advices! <!-- s8) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cool.gif" alt="8)" title="Cool" /><!-- s8) --> I've fixed the ebuilds <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=":wink:" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: -->

Updated version (1.23) <!-- s8) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cool.gif" alt="8)" title="Cool" /><!-- s8) --> I've also included 2 small patches, one fixes the AMD64 startup error, other one fixes an annonying build error with GCC-4.1.2 (as it's stable on Gentoo from some days) I've also updated the ebuild for 3D models (vavoom-models), to install the new 1.4 versione, required from Vavoom 1.23 Sorry for the late update <!-- s:P --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz" /><!-- s:P -->

Updated version (1.23.1) <!-- s8) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cool.gif" alt="8)" title="Cool" /><!-- s8) -->

Finally Vavoom has been included in Gentoo Sunrise Overlay! <!-- s8) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cool.gif" alt="8)" title="Cool" /><!-- s8) --> Now it will be easier to install and update! Obviously it applies only on Gentoo Linux and its derived distributions (es. Sabayon). To install it: [list=1:2ecoonli] [*:2ecoonli]Install the layman utility:

Nice work. I use these ebuilds and have encountered no problems <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

I've updated the ebuild to 1.29 version. Important changes: - i've implemented a new EAPI2 feature, called "USE conditional dependencies", resulting in a smaller and less complex ebuild. IT REQUIRES THE 2.2 VERSION OF sys-apps/portage, actually in rc and marked as unstable.

I've updated the ebuild to 1.30 version. Important changes: [list:16tjc3vh] [*:16tjc3vh]Enabled by default the following USEs: models, music, opengl, sdl, textures, vorbis. So it's easier to have a better default installation of Vavoom (with hi-res graphics, music and textures <!-- s8) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cool.gif" alt="8)" title="Cool" /><!-- s8) --> )[/*:m:16tjc3vh][/list:u:16tjc3vh]
