Dear release-managers,
please consider the attached diff for rott in stable. I know it's "only"
contrib/games, but anyway... ;)
The rott package is able to download the required (but non-free) game
shareware data from the publisher's web server in the postinst script if
the user wishes so. However, the servers have proven unreliable and users
keep complaining about failed downloads, e.g. #660266. We have thus put a
copy of the zip file on pkg-games.alioth.d.o.
The code is not in unstable, because we have decided to drop the
downloading in the postinst script in favor of using
game-data-packager. The latter already uses pkg-games.alioth.d.o to
download the shareware zip file.
- Fabian
