[needs-packaging] openbve

OpenBVE is a 3D, public-domain, cross-platform railway/train simulator ("game") engine that specialises in driving realism. It is backwards compatible with route and train description files designed for 'BVE Trainsim', or which there are a huge number available for free-as-in-beer. However most of which have restrictions on distribution

URL: http://openbve.uuuq.com/en/downloads.html
License: Public Domain
Notes: Before packaging/uploading the engine, this needed to wait for Public Domain data-routes (a route and train) to upload aswell.

Agreement has now been reached (2009-02-18) for relicensing a route and a train as Public Domain from two other sources; .dfsg tarballs exist with the files with more restrictive Copyright files (Textures and Sounds) removed as instructed.

In total this should upload:

  openbve (engine)
  openbve-data (engine GUI icons and translations)
  openbve-data-icons (temporary from-scratch replacement for icons not distribute by upstream)

  bvt-train-something-something (example train, sounds, textures, performance metrcs, cab)
  bvt-route-something-something (example route, rail line, textures, sounds, model)

Shall also punt packages to Debian/sid after FF.
