Source: games-fps
Severity: normal

Hi all,

thanks for the debian-games meta-packages! However, I found the dependency list
of the games-fps package quite arbitrary and there are some dubious candidates
in it.

Let's have a look at the games in detail:

[?] adanaxisgpl: not a classical FPS, more a space/arcade/action game; very
complicated due to its 4-dimensional [sic!] gameplay; maybe better suited for
games-arcade?
[*] bzflag-client: also not a classical FPS, but close enough maybe
[S] cube2: pulled in by cube2-data (see below)
[S] cube2-data: last time I checked, "Bananabread" was only you-against-bots,
but without a campaign; maybe a bit heavy with its 265MB; maybe better suited
in Suggests
[ ] darkplaces: Quake engine, useless without data; data is either non-free or
nexuiz (see below), pulled in by nexuiz
[ ] deutex: WAD compiler to create Doom-comaptible data files from raw data
[ ] doomsday: Doom engine, useless without data; data is either non-free or
freedoom (see below); another Doom engine is already pulled in by Freedoom
[*] enemylines3: semi-abstract FPS, close enough
[*] enemylines7: antiaircraft defense FPS, close enough
[ ] eureka: Doom map editor
[ ] freedm: 32 empty Doom deathmatch maps void of any monsters
[*] freedoom: free Doom clone, pulls in prboom-plus
[ ] ioquake3: Quake 3 engine, useless without data; data is either non-free or
openarena (see below)
[*] nexuiz: classical FPS, pulls in darkplaces
[*] openarena: classical FPS, pulls in ioquake3
[ ] prboom-plus: Doom engine, pulled in by freedoom
[ ] quakespasm: Quake engine, useless without data; another Quake engine is
already pulled in by nexuiz
[ ] teeworlds: not even remotely a FPS

Legend:
[?] not sure if this should be kept
[*] should be kept as recommends
[ ] should IMHO not be kept
[S] should be kept as suggestions

Also, I would add sauerbraten to suggestions.

Thanks for considering!
