Description

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:

Changelog

2017-05-20 - Simon McVittie <smcv@debian.org>
game-data-packager (49.1) unstable; urgency=medium
* Support for new languages and versions:
- Support for GOG packages of Jedi games (Closes: #784913) [adetiste]
- Support for new GOG packages of Leisure Suit Larry series [adetiste]
- Support for new GOG package of Icewind Dale 2 [Edward Allcutt]
- Cope with hexen2demo_nov1997-linux-i586.tgz having been modified on
the server. The changes do not affect the parts we repackage.
[adetiste]
- Add GOG metadata for several more games [adetiste]
* Bug fixes:
- Fix a crash when packaging music by ripping CD tracks from Quake
and Quake II, fixing a regression somewhere around v42
(Closes: #860998) [adetiste]
- xcom-ufo: Fix swapped file definitions for original and patched
resource files (Closes: #856253) [R1dO]
- If a downloadable file does not have the expected content, do not
try to download it from the same URL again [adetiste]
- Make .crc files in Doom 3 BFG optional. Not all versions have them
(Closes: #862432) [smcv]
- Remove metadata pointing to the DotEmu online store, which has
now closed [adetiste]
- Fix a potential crash during data loading by initializing
WantedFile.provides_files correctly [smcv]
* Internal changes:
- debian/copyright.in: Update [smcv]
- debian/.gitignore: Update for game-data-packager-runtime [smcv]

2017-03-14 - Simon McVittie <smcv@debian.org>
game-data-packager (49) unstable; urgency=medium
* d/gbp.conf: Switch git branch to debian/stretch for updates
during freeze
* quake3: Symlink ioquake3 native game and UI code into ~/.q3a,
and run with vm_cgame, vm_game, vm_ui set to 0 by default.
This resolves bugs in the proprietary Quake III Arena releases by
swapping in ioquake3's updated (and Free Software) versions, and
mitigates security issues in ioquake3 by letting
ioquake3_1.36+u20161101+dfsg1-2 put a confirmation prompt in
front of the option to enable auto-downloading.
This regressed in v46.

2016-12-06 - Simon McVittie <smcv@debian.org>
game-data-packager (48) unstable; urgency=medium
* Enhancements and bug fixes:
- Add a button to "Doom II Masterlevels" launcher to start
chocolate-doom-setup from there. [adetiste]
- Fix launcher scripts generated without fully expanding $bindir,
resulting in files in '/$prefix'. This affected Z-code text
adventures (H2G2, Zork, etc.) and multilingual ScummVM games.
[adetiste]
* Internal changes:
- Refactor doom2-masterlevels launcher [adetiste]
- Add all and distclean Makefile targets [smcv]
- In Debian packaging, set a temporary home directory for Inkscape
to silence warnings and comply with proposed policy (#845715)

2016-11-05 - Simon McVittie <smcv@debian.org>
game-data-packager (47) unstable; urgency=medium
* New game support:
- Myst: Masterpiece Edition [adetiste]
* Support for new languages and versions:
- Super Noah's Ark 3D v1.3.3, from Steam or itch.io [adetiste]
* Enhancements and bug fixes:
- make-template: don't crash when unable to guess what $install_to
should have been. Regression in v46. (Closes: #841164) [smcv]
- This version of g-d-p was built against an apparmor package
where #828795 was fixed, so we no longer emit a misleading warning
from the postinst (Closes: #829035) [smcv]
- Fix a crash when packaging ecwolf games [adetiste]
- ja: Fix spurious warnings about assets0.pk3 [smcv]
* Internal changes:
- Stop using lsb-release [smcv]
- Refactor Package object creation [smcv]
- Do not modify Package objects after they have been loaded [smcv]
- Restructure doom2-masterlevels data [adetiste]
- Simplify creation of DEBIAN/control [smcv]
- Sort license files if there are multiple [smcv]
- Conform to https://github.com/cgwalters/build-api (vaguely imitating
Autoconf, but differently-implemented) [smcv]
