Bug#866875: quake3: broken symlink: /usr/share/doc/quake3/README.quake3-data -> ../../games/quake3/README.quake3-data

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: quake3
Version: 49.1
Severity: normal
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package ships (or creates)
a broken symlink.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

1m2.1s ERROR: FAIL: Broken symlinks:
  /usr/share/doc/quake3/README.quake3-data -> ../../games/quake3/README.quake3-data


I don't know if this link would be satisfied by quake3-data,
it is not satisfied by quake3-demo-data.
If the README contains information how to acquire quake3-data (or
quake3-demo-data), including the commands to be used, it should
be shipped in the quake3 package instead.

The other game packages built from src:game-data-packager seem to
have similar problems.


Having never used gnome-data-packager myself, I'm wondering whether
there should be a README giving detailed commands for creating and
installing the data packages.
  "If you have the original pak0.pak in /some/path ..."
  "If you have some CD ..."
  "To use freely available demo data from the web ..."
(inspired by quake3's long description)
Disclaimer: The last time I played such games was ... I think even
before quake3 came out :-)


cheers,

Andreas
