Bug#610787: spring: lacks info about where to find and put maps

[Yann Dirson]

Package: spring
Version: 0.81.2.1+dfsg1-6
Severity: normal

Since there is no map nor mod in the archive, people are left with
downloading and isntalling those themselves.

Although it is not so hard to find its way on springrts.com and find
about http://springrts.com/wiki/Mods, it would be good to list it in
README.Debian.

And then, the doc only talks about putting them in a directory named
"maps" without further details.  Documenting that the user can install
mods and maps for his own use in ~/.spring/maps/ and has to create
this directory first would be nice.

The place to install them system-wide, however, seem to be
/usr/share/games/spring/maps/.  However, it would be good to support
/usr/local/share/games/spring/maps/ for local additions by the
sysadmin and let the former to packaged mods and maps.
