I've just finished my first version of the quake3 packages. I use the debian configuration of Jamie Wilkinson <jaq@debian.org>, and adjusted it (thanks man, you saved me a bunch of work :) ). The structure of the packages is otherwise the same. quake3 quake3-data In order not to break possibly official installs, the startup script is q3a (instead of quake3). The game can (like the quake2 packages) be run from disk and CDROM. The game can be played with the official CD available (pk3 files) or with the demo of the game. Different wrt the quake2 version is that you need to install the point release to play the shareware/demo version as the full game, due to a UI change in the code. I have some further cleaning up to do, but the packages seem currently stable enough to be used. One thing I certainly have to check is the latest versions of the files floating around the net, but the last ones I seemed to be able to pick up were: - linuxq3ademo-1.11-6.x86.gz.sh - linuxq3apoint-1.32b-3.x86.run Future (to be expected this week) improvements will include installation of Quake3 Team Arena. If anyone is interested in the packages for testing, using; send me a mail and I'll pass the URI along where you can download them, I am kind of hesitant to publish the URI directly (my poor machine ;) ) Since I haven't seen any replies and/or further mails after the initial ITP from the package maintainer (with the ITP about 24h of id going GPL), I wonder if the maintainer continued this project, in which case a reply would be appreciated. If not, ... euhm, what next? -- greetz, marc Man, you guys should see this ugly sticky flesh. Kinda like my Aunt Ruth's special Jello.
