Greetings, I also think that your approach is better. However, the .deb configuration scripts would need to make sure that the appropriate "Base graphics" option is selected by default within OpenTTD. Also, it does not cover SFX and music; of those, at least a dummy (empty) sample.cat SFX file is absolutely necessary. Thus, three new packages might be required: openttd-original-graphics, openttd-opengfx and openttd-original-sound. Then, openttd would depend on ( original-graphics | opengfx ) and either recommend or suggest the sound package.
With your packaging solution, the bare openttd package should install a dummy sample.cat file so that the game starts even if the sound package is not installed, and maybe even pop a first-run dialog informing users that they will only get sound if they install the said package. Nevertheless, even if this script is a temporary fix, it would make life easier for unexperienced users while The Right Thing (TM) is done regarding the additional packages. However, I've suddenly noticed: I'm using gksu and zenity, but what about KDE-based setups? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
