Bug#1061474: netpanzer: Master Server Outdated - Game Unplayable

[Devon Winrick]

Package: netpanzer
Version: 0.8.7+ds-4
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: winrid at gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

With the current state of this package, the game is not playable online. This
is due to the master server being down, since the previous server owner has
passed away.

To reproduce, attempt to open the game and go to the server browser. No games
will be shown, despite there being several 0.8.7 servers available (which
myself and others run).

Luckily we obtained the server source code before their passing, and have setup
a new master server at netpanzer.io

We have a patch, which is to prepend "netpanzer.io" to the server_masterservers
string on line 367 of GameConfig.cpp:
https://github.com/netpanzer/netpanzer/compare/master...0.8.7-patched#diff-820a2ec5629a945d19a0b9ac1ba49532fc3e876c17e64ac42eb8344ab044e5f0R367

We have committed to running this master server indefinitely.

Thank you for your time!
