Package: freedoom Severity: normal Tags: patch Hello - I am working on a package to facilitate the installation of commercial IWAD files into debian[1], in order to close a bug against prboom[2].
In order for this package to exist alongside freedoom, the /usr/share/games/doom/doom2.wad file needs to be managed by the alternatives system. Please find attached a patch to adjust the freedoom package to install into /usr/share/games/freedoom, and add an alternative for doom2.wad at priority 50. 50 is an arbitrary value. I will probably use priority 25 for doom-data in order for freedoom to take priority over the commercial IWADs (in the spirit of free software :)) I shall be writing a similar patch for doom-wad-shareware at some point.
