Vultures-2.2.100 ebuild for gentoo
Some years ago I played nethack on my old PC. Nethack is a Diablo like RPG that was originally released in 1987. Before playing a game, you have to create a character. You can choose between Archeologist, Barbarian, Caveman, Healer, Knight, Monk, Priest, Ranger, Rogue, Samurai, Tourist Valkyrie and Wizard. Afterwards you can descent to the dungeon where you have to retrieve the Amulet of Yendor and defeat the bad Moloch. For some more information on gameplay and how to win see the links below the post.
By chance I discovered a maemo package for vultures eye which I installed on my Nokia N810. Vultures eye is a nice graphical frontend for nethack.
Then I felt it would be nice to have Vultures Eye also on my PC. Since the latest available Gentoo ebuild was far out of date and the sources for it are no longer available I wrote a new ebuild based upon the old one. You may download the ebuild from here: vultures ebuild (146)
To use the ebuild it just copy it to /usr/local/portage/games-roguelike/vultures/. You probably have to create the directory. Then run
ebuild /usr/local/portage/games-roguelike/vultures/vultures-2.2.100.ebuild digest
Be sure to include the following line in your /etc/make.conf.
PORTDIR_OVERLAY=”/usr/local/portage”
Then just emerge vultures and enjoy many YASDs.
