Bug#1032857: please consider adding the jgrpp patches

[Matthijs Kooijman]

Hey Toni,

> please consider packaging the jgrpp patches, too.

Thanks for your suggestion. What did you have in mind exactly?

I won't include third-party patches in the main build, since that
affects multiplayer compatibility (i.e. a patched build will be
incompatible with other people playing unpatched builds).

I could consider including a non-patched and a patched build
side-to-side (i.e.  in two different binary packages), but I'm not sure
I want to go down this path either (this is just one set of patches, but
I'm pretty sure there's others and before we know it we'll be packaging
a dozen of different patch sets...).

IMHO the right path to making these patches more accessible, is to
submit them for inclusion upstream (possibly after improving the patch
quality).

So I'm inclined to close this as wontfix.

Gr.

Matthijs
