Bug#488803: ITP: ioQuake3 -- GPL quake engine, to be shared between ioquake3 games



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

I will be packaging the latest SVN version of ioquake3 without any game
data. It will be for use with a game such as Quake 3, OpenArena, World
of Padman, or Urban Terror. This will build two binary packages
(client/server), containing only the applicable client/server engine
binary. Packages that will use this will be reworked to contain only
launcher scripts, man pages, and menu entries, the resulting updated
packages will have dependencies on only their relevant -data package,
and the appropriate ioquake3 or ioquake3-server. 

Note that after this change the game package itself will also be arch
indep, so it is likely that these games' scripts and menu entries could
likely be merged into their data package in the future if that is
desired.

Games which have made modifications the the ioquake3 engine too drastic
to remain compatible will stay as they are (Tremulous is the only
current example of this).

Please see worldofpadman, urbanterror and quake3 on the Games Team's SVN
for examples of how these packages have been reworked. OpenArena has
also been reworked but will not be committed until ioQuake3 is at least
in testing, and any outstanding issues addressed.

ioQuake3 is GPLv2 and can be downloaded at http://www.ioquake3.org
