spear of destiny

[Alexandre Detiste]

Hi,

I've completed spear of Destiny packaging:

https://github.com/a-detiste/game-data-packager/commit/3891d9ae0fefe508fff8d639863f7e69a16f2eb7

I've added symlinks to make 
  "wolf4sdl-sod" , 
  "wolf4sdl-sod --mission 0" & 
  "wolf4sdl-sod --mission 1" 
all work: they are all doing the same thing.

I guess wolf3d-demo-data & wolf3d-full-data are OK ?

We can't use "wolf3d-data" as it is already used as a virtual package.

Ok, and some name like "wolf3d-data-supernoahark3d" would be silly.

wolf3d-demo-data would Conflict with wolf3d-data-wl1
does it need to also Provides wolf3d-data-wl1 as a virtual package
for a smooth transition ?

Yes; here is an other exemple:
spear-of-destiny-data & spear-of-destiny-demo-data both provide virtual package "wolf3d-data"
& both install in /usr/share/games/wolf3d/ ; but that's technical details end-user shouldn't bother about.

We could remember this mail when we update the documentation.
