Hi, I have pushed the initial packaging for xonotic and xonotic-data to Git. http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-games/xonotic.git http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-games/xonotic-data.git src:xonotic is almost complete, missing pieces are man pages and updating debian/copyright and debian/watch and perhaps writing a get-orig-source target in addition to the explanation in README.source. The package is very similar to src:nexuiz. It is a simple wrapper around the darkplaces engine. I still don't know how d0-blind-id fits in here. At the moment it is just a dependency of xonotic. src:xonotic-data provides a simple way to install upstream's pk3 files into /usr/share/games/xonotic. There is currently nothing else required for playing xonotic. I did some smoke testing and all basic things work. We already have: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-games/gmqcc.git http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-games/d0-blind-id.git We should look into q3map2 as well. To the best of my knowledge it is part of GtkRadiant and licensed under GPL/BSD/LGPL, so it should be possible to package the map compiler. TODO: * Someone should update d0-blind-id to version 0.7. Maybe even the latest version, 1.0, will work. * We probably have to use upstream's pk3 files to ensure cross-platform compatibility. That's how other distributions like Fedora ship the data nowadays. However I am almost sure that we can do something similar to nexuiz-data and build the pk3 files from source. To finish the packaging of Xonotic we need someone who wants to investigate how the data is built from source. It seems we would only need one additional package, q3map2. The rest is already packaged and just needs some updates. I can lend a hand too, when there is someone who is willing to maintain Xonotic. Markus
