Hello, i am working on the pathological package at the moment and i want to finish the work of Evgeniy Dolgikh that he has started last year. I was wondering about how the game data of pathological is split currently. The music is shipped in both source packages, pathological and pathological-music and it seems the reason was bug #203479 [1]. The original intention was to save bandwidth when upgrading to new releases of pathological. From my point of view this decision made sense in the past but nowadays the limiting factor seems to be manpower and not bandwith or disk space. We are talking about two music files which are, with xz compression, 6 MB large in total. I'd like to suggest to revert the decision and to install the music files from the pathological package again. There hasn't been a new upstream release for ten years now and the package rarely needs an update. So i think it is reasonable to remove pathological-music completely thus nobody has to bother with maintaining a second source package. I have made the following changes to debian/control in pathological to ensure a smooth upgrade. Provides: pathological-music Conflicts: pathological-music Replaces: pathological-music What do you think about this proposal? Regards, Markus [1] http://bugs.debian.org/203479
