Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Lee Garrett <deb...@rocketjump.eu>
* Package name : mvdsv Version : 0.31 Upstream Author : Alexandre Nizoux * URL : https://github.com/deurk/mvdsv * License : GPLv2 Programming Lang: C Description : a modern QuakeWorld server mvdsv (MultiView Demo Server) is a QuakeWorld-compatible server that is the most common Quake server used today[0]. There are two other available quake servers in Debian, quakespasm and darkplaces. quakespasm uses the FitzQuake network protocol, while darkplaces uses DARKPLACES7. Both are incompatible with the QuakeWorld network protocol. There is an overview of (incompatible) Quake network protocols[1]. mvdsv fills the gap by being QuakeWorld-compatible, allowing to use the most popular clients, ezquake and nQuake (which is just a fancy installer for ezquake), and also offering many features not available in the other Quake servers. The documentation is severely lacking, I plan on writing the man page and the list of config file parameters as part of the packaging process. I will be maintaining it alone. Since Quake has been out for 20+ years now, I don't expect a quick release cycle, so the maintenance burden for this package will be minimal. I'm open to co-maintaining this package if any individual or team is interested. I will need a sponsor for this package.
