Hello everybody,

I just have ported this game in the offical FreeBSD ports tree recently.

If anyone has the problem or something else to make the change, just let me know by PM or email (mezz7_at_cox_dot_net).

Cheers,
Mezz

One request though... keep it up-to-date with latest releases *grin*

Nice to have more ports.

Savannah just got back few days ago, after being down for many weeks. Don't know if mailing-lists are working already, etc.

Workaround: subscribe to new releases on Freshmeat [1]

Good news! But I tried yesterday to install it from ports and it seems that the package has dissapeared from FreeBSD's ftp :\

ports and packages are different. Ports compiles from the source code and package is already compiled and install by binary.

The packages update once a while like one to two time(s) per month or so, I am not sure. I don't know when exactly, so which meaning you should use ports for now instead. It doesn't take that long to compile.

1) CVSup your ports tree
2) cd /usr/ports/games/wesnoth ; make install clean

I didn't explain myself correctly. I was installing it from ports, but wesnoth sources aren't in FreeBSD's ftp. I've seen now that http://www.wesnoth.org is in MASTER_SITES, so it was probably my problem, because when I did make install it tried to fetch from FreeBSD's ftp, but it wasn't there. Anyway, wesnoth-0.6.1.tar.gz should be in FreeBSD's ftps, shouldn't it?

Umm, not yet.... Like I said wait until the cluster download the tarballs again and ready to build stuff. I have no idea what timeline for FreeBSD to download the distfiles. Wesnoth is still fetchable.

Code: Select all

# cd /usr/ports/games/wesnoth ; make distclean
===>  Cleaning for esound-0.2.32_1
[...]
===>  Cleaning for wesnoth-0.6.1
===>  Deleting distfiles for wesnoth-0.6.1

# make extract
[...]
  
>> wesnoth-0.6.1.tar.gz doesn't seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles/.
>> Attempting to fetch from http://www.wesnoth.org/files/.
Receiving wesnoth-0.6.1.tar.gz (11616064 bytes): 100% (ETA 00:00)
11616064 bytes transferred in 33.4 seconds (339.31 kBps)
===>  Extracting for wesnoth-0.6.1
>> Checksum OK for wesnoth-0.6.1.tar.gz.

It works fine here and in the bento cluster too.
