CCing' freespace2 at packages.debian.org:

This was an attempt to produce 1:1 replacement for the "freespace2-data-gog"
package that can be generated with the package sources provided by
"freespace2" in  /usr/share/games/freespace2-open/packages/ 
(browsable online at: 
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/users/onlyjob/freespace2.git/tree/debian/packages/ )

The extra mods & the retail CD-rom version are not yet supported.

Getting the two Debian-only files from alioth (anonscm.debian.org)
was just a quick way to get things done.

(try_repack_from: /usr/share/games/freespace2-open/packages/freespace2-data-gog/debian/
would work too)


To freespace2 maintainers: can the G-D-P generated packages use symlinks for FS2.bmp and mod.ini,
or do you plan to (re-)move those in the future ?

Could you also consider shipping thoses as
/usr/share/games/freespace2-open/packages/FS2.bmp
and /usr/share/games/freespace2-open/packages/mod.ini_gog
and replace the files in source packages by symlinks,
to separe the usefull bits from the purely "infrastructure" ones
that are merely a mean to build a .deb ?
