AFAIK these are the only scripts that are used, so it should be fine.

Yes. The main problem for TA is that there was only a Windows release of
the package file. I've been looking to install it, but it requires at
the very least wine (works though); and finally i dropped the
quake3ta-data package all together.

Maybe re-packaging it into some zip might be an idea, though we can
wonder to what degree it will be mirrorred.

I also noticed that the linux files have been removed from at least one
mirror. I'll adapt the quake3-data package this week to see if it was
just a temporary removal or a permanent one.

What mods? TA is a bit of a problem but UT should not be a problem at
all. Are we going to maintain a number of these? I have been thinking
about this but since the packaging of the data files is still in
progress, didn't go further. It is perfectly possible to e.g. play UT (a
total conversion) without the original data files. I think we should
encourage this (though some minor textures are still misssing).

Flamewar! :) No, I think it's better to do so.

I still think we should move the link to the pkg-games space than to my
machine (though I do not mind :) serving it )
