(I'm packaging Red Eclipse in Debian)
Red Eclipse is a long-ago-fork of Cube 2: Sauerbraten.
I've asked the upstream cube2 "engine" maintainer (who is active in both
sauer and RE) about this, but he has indicated that it is very unlikely
for the two to be able to share code. Simply looking at a diffstat of
the engine/ directory from the sauerbraten and redeclipse packages
indicates that as well:
