Description Kevin Zheng 2012-04-27 01:00:19 UTC

Netrek is "a multi-player battle simulation with a Star Trek theme."

The existing ports for netrek are binary-only and have been long outdated. The pkg-message in the existing games/netrek-COW3-bin port explains that the version expired on April 16, 1999.

This port adds the newest release of the Netrek COW client. If this port works and seems stable, the old binary version *should* be deleted.

If convenient, the committer should try building this port just to make sure it works. I've built it on two computers, but I really don't think that's enough.

Fix: The new port is in the attached shar file. It *IS* a shar file (not a TXT) file to convince my browser to upload stuff correctly.

Patch attached with submission follows:
How-To-Repeat: Try installing games/netrek-client-cow. Wait, it doesn't exist.

Also, the binary versions are out of date.

Thanks for the port.  We might have to get a bunch of people to play it 
during Geek Pride Day (May 25th)

Note:
Not sure if its just a tinderbox thing, but once the official FreeBSD 
clusters try to package this, we will see,
in pkg-plist I put in a @dirrmtry games (I got a warning about 
/usr/local/games being left over after pkg-delete), and I commented out, 
just for testing,

@comment @dirrmtry share/pixmaps

(because for some reason, tinderbox complained that I deleted 
/usr/local/share/pixmaps when I should not have)

both just might be tinderbox issues.  If pointyhat (cluster servers) 
complain, I will edit and kick out an immediate update.
