Bug#559240: openarena: provide game logic so openarena-data doesn't have to

[Simon McVittie]

Package: openarena
Version: 0.8.1-6
Severity: important
Tags: patch

As suggested on #523323; see that bug for background.

Severity important because it blocks #523323, which is a GPL violation; fixing
the GPL violation in some other way would also be fine, of course. The
changes I suggested for #523323 shouldn't be uploaded until a version with
these patches enters testing.

I haven't attached a patch because it's pretty huge (it incorporates the
game logic from openarena-modSDK-0.8.1.tar.bz2 as a "patch"). However,
changes are available from:

    http://git.debian.org/?p=users/smcv/openarena.git
    git://git.debian.org/users/smcv/openarena.git

Another possible packaging for the game logic would be to apply it as a
secondary orig.tar.gz, rather than as a patch; however, that would probably
require setting up two build systems in the same package, and managing some
duplication.

openarena-modSDK-0.8.1.tar.bz2 would be a good basis for such a secondary
tarball, but would need repacking to remove the non-free compiler, q3lcc
(if q3lcc was free, we wouldn't need to go such lengths!)

Regards,
    Simon
