This is vaguely on my to-do list, but not particularly high on it. It's good
to hear that WoP's somewhat patched engine isn't necessary!
If I remember correctly, the WoP data is distributable but not DFSG-free,
so we'd have world-of-padman in contrib/games and world-of-padman-data-*
in non-free/games (or if I'm misremembering the license and it's not actually
distributable, we could use game-data-packager).

Thanks, these look like a good basis for a world-of-padman package.
You might want to update Fedora's ioquake3 to a recent svn snapshot: in recent
versions (in particular, before the ones in Debian unstable and experimental,
r1858 and r1933 respectively), most of my patches have been upstreamed.
Sort of. Unfortunately, the variable names and semantics have changed during
the upstreaming process: you'd now use
+set com_homepath .wop
+set com_basegame wop
+set cl_gamename ???? (in OA this is openarena, I forget what it does)
(An upstream release of ioquake3 1.37 would be nice, but I'm not holding
my breath...)
