Bug#796559: ITP: refkeen -- Ports of Keen Dreams and the Catacomb Adventure Series games
Hi,
I have contacted upstream earlier this year and he told me that
unlzexe was only needed for the current early-stage port of Keen Dreams;
but assests decompression should happen on-the-fly when the project
will get mature enough.
This "lz" algorythm is much more faster than gzip;
even fast on a 8086, so it won't slow down game start.
(and then no real need to package unlzexe in Debian)
Problem is that a GDP-package built today with unlzexe'd assests
will suddenly break when refkeen is updated; and there is
currently no way to retrigger needed rebuild.
I had a similar problem with OpenXCom that has changed directory
layout for upcoming release to provide a separate namespace
for the sequel... this time I choosed to only support the future/git layout
as it then should change anymore.
