Bug#742849: game-data-packager: Arguments to Supported Games Unquoted

[Daniel Peter Chokola]

Package: game-data-packager
Version: 37
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

Arguments passed from g-d-p to $SUPPORTED/$GAME are not quoted. This is important, at least, for Quake 3.
Try:
`game-data-packager quake3 "1 2"` # will interpret '1' and '2' as individual arguments
or:
`game-data-packager quake3 "1 2 3"` # will show usage because quake3 expects 2 arguments max, but it is seeing 3
This means paths cannot contain spaces.
