• Bug#1094986: dhewm3: build some mods from the dhewm3-sdk github project

    Hi Noel,

    this is a great idea.
    Not sure if I get around to implement it before Trixie, but for Forky,
    this would be really nice to have.

    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 teste

    Good to know you don't think it's a silly idea :-)
    I know doing this before Trixie is "challenging", but you won't have to
    start from scratch: https://salsa.debian.org/games-team/dhewm3/-/merge_requests/5/
