SpringRTS Gentoo overlay

Usage:

Install SpringRTS engines:

Note: this step is optional, most lobbies can automatically (and insecurely) download them on demand. To disable the later for e.g. SpringLobby, do mkdir ~/.spring && touch ~/.spring/engine. SpringLobby will still offer and try to download them, but it will fail.

Spring 103.0 is the current (2017.07.20) stable.

emerge -a '=games-strategy/spring-103.0'
emerge -a '=games-strategy/spring-100.0' # For games:PA,PD

Note: each engine installs to its own SLOT=$PV and into /opt/springrts.com/spring/$SLOT

Install a lobby client:

emerge -a 'games-util/springlobby'

If you installed engines via the above procedure then open/run SpringLobby, go to Edit->Preferences->Spring->Add New and add the installed engines, first by picking UnitSync path /opt/springrts.com/spring/$SLOT/lib/unitsync.so and then the spring engine itself /opt/springrts.com/spring/$SLOT/bin/spring
