I've downloaded and played the latest version of VegaStrike (0.3.9.1) and it is amazing.
Great graphics and effects. The 0.4 release, coming in August, will feel like a commercial quality game.
VegaStrike really doesn't get the recognition it deserves from the OSS gaming community.

Looks like you're right:
| Code: | app-games/vegastrike
Latest version available: 0.3.1
Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ]
Size of downloaded files: 97,546 kB
Homepage: http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/

3.1 - 3.9 is a fair jump, wonder how easy it is to update the eBuild |

I've made a rough attempt at an ebuild, not sure if it works yet. I've tried to convert the linux_vegastrike.sh into an ebuild format.
| Code: | iinherit games cvs
ECVS_SERVER="cvs.vegastrike.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/vegastrike"
ECVS_MODULE="vegastrike"
ECVS_TOP_DIR="${DISTDIR}/cvs-src/${PN}"
ECVS_BRANCH="vegastrike_0_3_9"
SLOT="0"
KEYWORDS="~x86"
S_VEGA=${WORKDIR}/vegastrike/
S_VSETUP=${WORKDIR}/vssetup/src/
S_VDATA=${WORKDIR}/data
src_unpack(){
cvs_src_unpack
ECVS_SERVER="cvs.vegastrike.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/vegastrike"
ECVS_MODULE="data"
ECVS_TOP_DIR="${DISTDIR}/cvs-src/${PN}"
cvs_src_unpack
ECVS_SERVER="cvs.vegastrike.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/vegastrike"
ECVS_MODULE="vssetup"
ECVS_TOP_DIR="${DISTDIR}/cvs-src/${PN}"
cvs_src_unpack
ECVS_SERVER="cvs.vegastrike.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/vegastrike"
ECVS_MODULE="music"
ECVS_TOP_DIR="${DISTDIR}/cvs-src/${PN}"
cvs_src_unpack
}
src_compile(){
cd ${S_VEGA}
autoconf || die
automake || die
egamesconf || die
emake || die
cd ${S_VSETUP}
perl ./build
cd ${S_VDATA}
# mkdir ~/.vegastrike
# echo "default" > ~/.vegastrike/save.txt
mv ${S_VSETUP}/bin/setup ./vssetup
mv ${S_VEGA}/src/vegastrike .
mv ${S_VEGA}/src/networking/soundserver .
mv ${S_VEGA}/launcher/vslauncher .
}
src_install(){
dogamesbin ${S_VDATA}/vsinstall ${S_VDATA}/vssetup ${S_VDATA}/vegastrike ${S_VDATA}/vslauncher
doman ${S_VDATA}/vegastrike.1 ${S_VDATA}/vslauncher.1 ${S_VDATA}/vsinstall.1 ${S_VDATA}/vssetup.1
dodir ${GAMES_DATADIR}
mv ${S_VDATA} ${D}/${GAMES_DATADIR}/
prepgamesdirs
}
pkg_postinst(){
einfo "run vsinstall to setup your account"
einfo "then run vslauncher to start Vega Strike"
} |
Please let me know if this works or post something that does work. I'm having problems with automake at the moment. |

This game is so cool. I would love to have an ebuild for 0.3.9.1, but would definately love to have one for 0.4.0 (or 0.4.0.1 when the bugfixes are done. : )
I play it in Windows right now, just because I have trouble compiling. An ebuild would make me a happy man. |

On my machine I had to change the automake line and do an autoreconf below it to fix a depcomp problem. I haven't editited it into the ebuild though because I dont know if it is necessary for everyone or if my automake is a big screwy.
| Code: | automake -a --add-missing || die
autoreconf || die |
Now I've gotta find the solution to a compile problem |

| I'm having problems getting it to build on my system at the moment. I've been kinda busy past couple days but I'll get on the Vegastrike forums to see if I can fix that. You could always give it a shot and contribute to it |
