You know, thats an awesome idea as far as gentoo goes, create an ebuild for it... It will probably compile alright for 1.2, if we can get it working for 1.4, we could create an ebuild for it in app-emulation or app-games. (Glad you've enjoyed gentoo! Personally, I dont think another distro can touch it for performance and ease of installation, once the initial instatllion is done which can be a bear). 1.4rc has been extremely stable for me so far, so i dont think 1.4 official will be too far off. At any rate, Justaddwater, devnoob, image and I were discussing ways to get new, technically proficient folks involved in the project last night and we were throwing out ideas like freshmeat (which I'm going to open a project for if no one minds), slashdot blurbs,eqsites, etc, to see if we can wrestle up more folks that want to have activeparticipation on the project. I dont like the idea branching off a linux project, but the idea of an ebuild for it is kickass in my opinion. I'll be happy to throw an ebuild together once we're compiling again, just have to include a detailed readme for it. Those of us interested in the linux side of things should put a room in IRC and get organized and try and start working through the problems in the current builds. Things like IRC are great tools for collaboration.
It looks like irc for eqemu is moving to irc.eqemu.net , so if you guys are interested we can open up a channel. I can even set up another forum for use in working through the issues we run into, if anyone is intersted... Just let me know..
