I haven't asked upstream for inclusion yet. They probably consider the documentation at [1] sufficient. I also doubt like yourself that there will be a new sauer realease soon and i don't expect it in time for the upcoming freeze. The server-init.cfg is indeed really simple. There aren't a lot of options in general and my server-init.cfg shows all documented options in [1]. At the moment i'm not sure how i could make it more generic but would like to hear your opinion. I would like to see the documentation included because i think it makes life for sauerbraten admins easier to know that they could also run the server with a server-init.cfg. At the moment man sauerbraten-server only describes the commandline configuration. I also would like to see similiar documentation for all server packages in our games section, but that's another story. :) The openarena-server package is a good example how this should be documented. So i think there are two options. 1. Asking upstream for inclusion which could mean the documentation is not available in time for wheezy or at all. 2. Include it anyway and provide users with more information how to configure the server. Maybe you could add the screen and cron text to README.Debian and point to the server-init.cfg as an example? I'm open for everything but in general i think the more documentation available the better. :) Thanks Markus [1] http://sauerbraten.org/docs/config.html
