[gentoo-dev] Quake2-data and Quake2-relnev

[gentoo-dev] Quake2-data and Quake2-relnev

[Brett I. Holcomb]

I notice portage now has a quake2-data and quake2-relnev.  I can see the 
-data has the paks and relneve is what used to be quake2 (IIRC) and is the 
engine.  In the past I just installed the relnev and the copied my files from 
the Windows system or CD.  What do I do with -data ebuild? I know the  
install wants the CD or a directory with the files from windows it.   If I 
already have my windows files copied over what do I need the -data ebuild 
installed for?

Thanks.

hmm i thought i removed that DEPEND ... fixed now ...
all the quake2 packages are designed to look for data files in the global 
location of /usr/share/games/quake2-data ... some games also allow you to 
override with local stuff, but whatever ...

the quake2-data package is designed to be an easy installer of the quake2 data 
files ... when you emerge it you can tell it to either get the data files 
from the quake2 cd or if (like me) you already have the game installed on a 
windows partition, you can tell it to copy the data files from there ...

Yup. I'm on games group. And quake2-0.15.ebuild used to work.
