game-data-packager 54 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

game-data-packager (54) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Support for new languages and versions:
    - Heroes of Might and Magic III: add support for French version
      [adetiste]
    - Laura Bow - The Colonel's Bequest: add support for the 3.5 floppies
      version as sold by GOG.com [adetiste]
    - Planescape Torment: add support for GOG.com version
      "1.01 (a) (10597)" [Phil Morrell]
    - Doom 3: Add GOG.com metadata for the BFG Edition [adetiste]
      + Doom & Doom2: List GOG.com's Doom 3 BFG Edition as a potential
        source of classic Doom WAD files [adetiste]
  * Enhancements and bug fixes:
    - drbrain2, morrowind, ut99: Do not try to install two files to the
      same destination in the same package. This would result in one
      of them being included and the other being omitted. [smcv]
    - Add a consistency check to prevent the above happening again [smcv]
    - morrowind: Do not issue warnings about a modified Morrowind.ini [smcv]
    - GOG: make the help text about missing lgogdownload and innoextract
      utilities distro-agnostic [adetiste]
    - If a source YAML file (from game-data-packager's source code) is
      placed next to vfs.zip, load it preferentially. Add comments to
      derived files (except the JSON, which uses monstrously long lines
      and so is hopefully clearly not intended to be human-readable, let
      alone editable) indicating what to do instead of editing them. [smcv]
    - doom3: Make all .crc files optional (really Closes: #862432) [smcv]
    - doom3: Accept an alternative version of english.lang (also part of
      #862432). Thanks, Max [smcv]
    - Arx Fatalis: add download URL for Japanese demo [adetiste]
    - King's Quest VII: depend on scummvm (>= 1.10.0) [adetiste]
    - Planescape Torment: simplify YAML by using groups [Phil Morrell]
    - packaging/deb: Try to use dpkg-deb --root-owner-group instead of
      fakeroot. This makes it irrelevant whether the fakeroot alternative
      points to original fakeroot, fakeroot-ng or pseudo, and whether the
      chosen implementation actually works (Closes: #879825) [smcv]
  * Internal changes:
    - Skip some of the more elaborate consistency checks when running a
      packaged version [smcv]
    - Add missing sizes and sha1 and sha256 hashes for files on Quake
      4 French retail DVD (Closes: 808200). Thanks, nyav [smcv]
    - debian/copyright.py: Cope with UTF-8 in licenses [smcv]
    - Set Rules-Requires-Root to no for g-d-p itself [smcv]
    - Declare compliance with Debian Policy 4.1.1 [smcv]

Binary packages built by this source

etqw: science-fiction-themed multiplayer first person shooter

 Enemy Territory: Quake Wars is a multiplayer first-person shooter game
 by Splash Damage and id Software, released in 2007.
 This package contains a launcher script and menu entry to play
 ETQW using the proprietary x86 binaries provided by id Software.
 .
 Please note that the ETQW engine is not Free Software, and Debian
 cannot fix any bugs or security flaws in the engine or game code.
 .
 To make this package useful, you will need to create and install some
 non-distributable packages by using the game-data-packager package:
 etqw-bin, and etqw-data.
 Creating those packages requires data files from an "Enemy Territory:
 Quake Wars" installation or DVD.

etqw-server: dedicated server for Enemy Territory: Quake Wars

 This package contains a launcher script and systemd unit to run a
 Enemy Territory: Quake Wars server using the proprietary
 x86 binaries provided by id Software.
 .
 Please note that the ETQW engine is not Free Software, and Debian
 cannot fix any bugs or security flaws in the engine or game code.
 .
 To mitigate any security flaws that might exist in this server,
 the systemd unit is not enabled by default, and must be enabled
 with systemctl if it should start at boot time. The systemd unit
 uses various security hardening options to prevent the server from
 escalating its privileges. There is no sysvinit script,
 since sysvinit does not provide similar security hardening.
 .
 To make this package useful, you will need to create and install some
 non-distributable packages by using the game-data-packager package:
 etqw-bin, and etqw-data.
 Creating those packages requires data files from an "Enemy Territory:
 Quake Wars" installation or DVD.

game-data-packager: Installer for game data files

 Various games are divided into two logical parts: engine
 and data. Often the engine and data are licensed in
 different ways, such that the engine can be distributed
 in Debian but the data cannot.
 .
 game-data-packager is a tool which builds .deb files for game
 data which cannot be distributed in Debian (such as
 commercial game data).
 .
 At the moment, game-data-packager has support for building .deb
 files for:
 .

game-data-packager-runtime: Launcher for proprietary games

 Various games are divided into two logical parts: engine
 and data. Often the engine and data are licensed in
 different ways, such that the engine can be distributed
 in Debian but the data cannot.
 .
 Some of the games supported by game-data-packager need to be
 started by a special launcher script that will create symbolic
 links or do other setup. This package contains those launcher
 scripts.
 .
 The following games currently require this package:
 .
  * Doom 2: The Master Levels
  * Quake series
  * Unreal
  * Unreal Gold

quake: classic gothic/horror-themed first person shooter

 Quake is a classic first-person shooter game by id Software,
 released in 1996. This package contains a launcher script and menu
 entry to play Quake with any suitable engine.
 .
 To make this package useful, you will need to create and install the
 non-distributable quake-registered or quake-shareware package, by using the
 game-data-packager package.
 .
 Creating quake-registered requires data files from a Quake installation or
 CD-ROM.
 .
 Creating quake-shareware requires the shareware version of Quake.
 .
 game-data-packager (>= 45) can also produce packages for the official Episode
 5, Dimensions of the Past (developed by MachineGames to mark Quake's 20th
 anniversary), and for the official mission
 packs Scourge of Armagon (developed by Hipnotic Software) and Dissolution
 of Eternity (developed by Rogue Entertainment). Additional menu entries
 should appear automatically if those expansions are installed.

quake-server: classic first person shooter - server and init script

 This package contains a launcher script and init script to run a
 Quake 1 server automatically, with any suitable engine.

 Quake II is a classic first-person shooter game by id Software,
 released in 1997. This package contains a launcher script and menu
 entry to play Quake II with any suitable engine.
 .
 To make this package useful, you will need to create and install some
 non-distributable packages by using the game-data-packager package:
 either quake2-full-data or quake2-demo-data. Creating quake2-full-data
 requires data files from a Quake II installation or CD-ROM.
 .
 game-data-packager (>= 39) can also produce packages for the official mission
 packs The Reckoning (developed by Xatrix Entertainment) and Ground Zero
 (developed by Rogue Entertainment). Additional menu entries should
 appear automatically if those expansions are installed.

quake2-server: dedicated server for Quake II

 This package contains a launcher script and init script to run a
 Quake II server automatically, with any suitable engine.

 released in 2005. This package contains a launcher script and menu
 entry to play Quake 4 using the proprietary x86 binaries provided by
 id Software.
 .
 Please note that the Quake 4 engine is not Free Software, and Debian
 cannot fix any bugs or security flaws in the engine or game code.
 .
 To make this package useful, you will need to create and install some
 non-distributable packages by using the game-data-packager package:
 quake4-bin, and either quake4-data (for all regions except Germany)
 or quake4-censored-de-data (for the incompatible version sold in
 Germany). Creating those packages requires data files from a Quake 4
 installation or DVD.

quake4-server: dedicated server for Quake 4

 This package contains a launcher script and systemd unit to run a
 Quake 4 server using the proprietary x86 binaries provided by id Software.
 .
 Please note that the Quake 4 engine is not Free Software, and Debian
 cannot fix any bugs or security flaws in the engine or game code.
 .
 To mitigate any security flaws that might exist in this server,
 the systemd unit is not enabled by default, and must be enabled
 with systemctl if it should start at boot time. The systemd unit
 uses various security hardening options to prevent the server from
 escalating its privileges. There is no sysvinit script,
 since sysvinit does not provide similar security hardening.
 .
 To make this package useful, you will need to create and install some
 non-distributable packages by using the game-data-packager package:
 quake4-bin, and either quake4-data (for the uncensored
 version sold on Steam and in countries other than Germany) or
 quake4-censored-de-data (for the incompatible version sold in Germany).
 Creating those packages requires data files from a Quake 4 installation
 or DVD.
