Short Instructions:
http://www.etria.org/static/pub/bzflag-cvs-0.ebuild
http://www.etria.org/static/pub/bzflag-cvs

Long Instructions:

First, make sure you have PORTDIR_OVERLAY setup properly in make.conf. Mine looks like this:

Code: Select all

PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/usr/local/portage
Next create app-games/bzflag-cvs under the PORTDIR_OVERLAY directory:

Code: Select all

$ cd /usr/local/portage
$ mkdir app-games
$ cd app-games
$ mkdir bzflag-cvs
$ cd bzflag-cvs
Next, fetch the current ebuild from my box:

Code: Select all

$ wget http://www.etria.org/static/pub/bzflag-cvs-0.ebuild
Then make the files dir...

Code: Select all

$ mkdir files
and fetch the startup script...

Code: Select all

$ cd files && wget http://www.etria.org/static/pub/bzflag-cvs
Then, merge it.

Code: Select all

$ su -
password:
$ emerge bzflag-cvs
and when its done...

Code: Select all

$ bzflag-cvs
This ebuild will not mess up your normal bzflag install. All data goes into /usr/share/bzflag-cvs, the startup script is named bzflag-cvs, and the man pages are appended with -cvs, so nothing will overwrite your current bzflag files.

Comments welcome.
