[gentoo-devhelp] games eclass has no effect with distutils

[gentoo-devhelp] games eclass has no effect with distutils

[Nikos Chantziaras]

My inherit line is:

   inherit eutils distutils games

I only have a src_install() function defined:

   src_install() {
       distutils_src_install
       prepgamesdirs
   }

However, the executables end up in /usr/bin instead of /usr/games/bin 
and their permissions are wrong (no games group.)

How is this supposed to work?

It should work, but looks like for this build system you'll have to
customize path for binary files installation manually. Just

cd /usr/portage

and run

find games-* -name '*.ebuild' -exec egrep -H '^inherit.*(games|distutils)+ .*(games|distutils)+$' '{}' \;

to see some ideas how to write distutils/games based ebuilds. E.g.
games-board/pychess/pychess-0.10.ebuild.
