Bug#775485: quake3: support for quake3-demo-data

[Simon McVittie]

Package: game-data-packager
Version: 39
Severity: wishlist

Quake III Arena has a demo. It would be nice if g-d-p knew how to download
it and turn it into quake3-demo-data.

Actually making it useful will require significant coordination with the
src:quake maintainers (i.e. me) and the src:ioquake3 maintainers
(i.e. also me), because ioquake3 is known to be incompatible with the
QVM bytecode in the demo, so you have to run it using the native-code
game modules that ioquake3 installs but does not currently use.

I know roughly how to do this, but other g-d-p improvements have been
eating up my Debian time recently. I would not recommend this as a
starting point for a new g-d-p contributor, because the majority of
the work required is actually in the other packages.

It is possible that ioquake3 will also need to recompile the game
modules with -DDEMO or something.
