Hi,
I didn't look at the package, but just a quick note:
python-* packages are normally modules for use by programmers, not end user
programs. In this case, there seems to be such a module (in the
python3-adventure package), but that is really an internal part of
colossal-cave-adventure? If it is unlikely that any other package will ever
use the module, it probably shouldn't be a public module, but it should be in
(or under) /usr/share/colossal-cave/adventure/ instead. The usual way to make
sure the game can find the module, is by installing it in the same place, and
making a symlink from /usr/games/ to there. Python follows the symlink to find
the module.
Similarly for adventure-common: the usual reason for splitting off common files
is that you don't want a copy for every arch on the mirrors, so you throw all
the arch:all stuff in there and keep the arch:any stuff (which is much less) in
a separate package. In this case, the game itself is arch:all as well, so
splitting off the common files doesn't have an advantage. Or do you have a
different reason for the split? Do you expect any package (or user) to need
the data files, but not the game?
Thanks,
Bas
