Package: vavoom
Version: 1.33-5
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hi,

I think the vavoom package should also contain the glvis utility. It can be run
over WAD files and adds information for the "rendering engine to skip the
subsectors that can't be visible from viewer's subsector." [1] This greatly
improves the engine's rendering performance!

Since it needs the WAD files to get pre-processed by the glbsp utility (already
in Debian), I have added this to the Suggests. And since it is currently a
utility very specific to vavoom and because there is also another different
project out there with the same name but serving a more general purpose [2], I
have move it into /usr/lib/vavoom.
