Simple answer: no. Longer answer: this will introduce lots of complexity and will gain us next to nothing. Not to mention that I don't seen any users (e.g. on the forums) expressing a need for this. Also keep in mind that if you present this proposal as such on the forums with a poll "do yo want this?" "yes/no", the answer will most likely be yes. Before implenting this I want it to gain *us* something, or have users themselves actively asking for it. Any other reason would, IMO, be a symptom of featuritis. > Linux/Mac: > * Split the game into 3 packages: "warzone-base.deb", > "warzone-music.deb", "warzone-fmv.deb" for example.

You might want to talk with Paul Wise about this (pabs on IRC). Other than that I think we should "impose" our packaging wishes on distributors as little as possible. -- Giel
