Hi,

Before I open a bug for this, are ther any such ebuilds? I know they don't 
exist in portage, but maybe in some overlay I'm not aware of.

Thanks...

	Dirk

Hi,

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to remember (from last time I used
wesnoth) the additional campaigns can be downloaded and installed from
within the game itself and this worked correctly?

Kind regards,

Joost

Yes, but they are stored in the users $HOME, then. An ebuild would likely 
store them in a systemwide directory, right?

Bye...

you can't do that because the user generated scenarios/campaigns are changing 
too much.

And the installing method from within wesnoth works fine - so what is the 
problem? The additional stuff is not that big.

Why is that a problem?

It will be stored in the users homes, possibly ending up in multiple copies of 
the same stuff, but eventually with different versions. So I'd prefer a 
clean, systemwide installation.

how do you make ebuilds for something that gets replaced on an  absolutly 
random basis with no old versions?

the clean 'system wide' installation does not work, because the scenarios 
might override stuff. Putting them into home makes the whole thing clean in 
the first place.
