Hi there,
there is still a lot of confusion regarding the package names of the
packages created by g-d-p. I think now is the right opportunity to agree
on a package naming policy (like the one the pkg-fonts team uses [1])
and get things right once and for all.
My proposal is the following:
$nameofgame-($typeofdata-)?-data
This would result in e.g.:
wolf3d-shareware-data
sod-demo-data
rott-commercial-data
rott-sitelicense-data
...
Not sure about supplemental data files that need other data files to
run, e.g. Quake mission packs or the Extreme ROTT levels pack, though.
And then there is still doom-wad-shareware. Maybe we should take the
opportunity and rename this apckage as well to fit with the others.
