Package: src:dhewm3
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

Would it be possible for you to add additional upstream tarballs to this source package (DebSrc3.0 supports that) and build the libraries for mods from the dhewm3-sdk repository ? You are already splitting the game code for dhewm3-doom3 & dhewm3-d3xp in separate packages, the new binary packages for mods would look exactly like those. Or do you think that it doesn't fit in src:dhewm3 and that I should make another source package in Debian for that ?

Why I am asking that ?
Because in game-data-packager we currently supports 2 dhewm3 mods (Classic Doom 3 and The Lost Mission), and to supports those, in addition to download/package pure data we also download code from github, build it and ship a so library in the generated .deb. This is fragile and not frequently tested (we don't rebuild very often those kind of data package), and I'm in search of an alternative to ship those game mods libraries properly somewhere else in Debian.

Best regards,
Sébastien
