I have a pretty up to date of the pkg-games build of ioquake3 on
http://scorpius.homelinux.org/~marc/debian/ and a non-pkg-games data
installer that works for both the official CD and the shareware version
(maps are not interchangeable) [1].

I'm sure Fuddl has some private stash somewhere too.

There has been some delay on my part due to the fact that my personal
and professional life is pretty hectic at the moment.

This being said, I was pretty surprised that openarena has reached a
level that is very close to q3a (next to the number of maps and the
limited quality of some of them): the gameplay is about the same.

From a GNU/Debian point of view, I think that OpenArena (ioquake3 engine
with free content) deserves more attention from us than Q3A (not
considering the engine, since both are the same. Kudos to Bruno for the
fine job done in packaging it.

[1] Mental note; urgently merge quake3-data to pkg-games quake3-data in
svn.
