(this should go on the new bug Jon just filed, but I can't find it yet) I'd really like to see gdp support for openmw. Bret is the upstream expert in packaging, I've just been helping him make it policy compliant and navigate debian's resources. He knows the issue better than me, but at least I'd appreciate help figuring out how to use gdp. Here's the situation: game content is available from commercial CDs (several editions: vanilla, "game of the year" edition, and there is are two expansions "tribunal" "bloodmoon") and also via steam (game of the year edition, includes both expansions). I only have the vanilla version. Originally, users either installed the game via wine and then pointed openmw to the content or they used unshiled [1]. Recently, openmw's launcher has added the capability to run the unshield scripts from the launcher with the click of a button, making it much easier for users to install content. I don't know what is needed for gdp - but if that could help manage content files, that would be great. The openmw packaging is in pkg-games repo, and Bret is a member of the games team. ~Scott [1] http://wiki.openmw.org/index.php?title=Getting_Data_Files_for_Linux_Install -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
