[Bug 356615] [NEW] FFe bve-route-cross-city-south/bve-train-br-class-323 for jaunty/universe

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Paul Sladen (sladen):

This Feature Freeze exception regards separately downloaded and
specifically negotiated public domain data-files to go with the
'OpenBVE' rail simulator, which is already in Universe.  The proposed
packages have been uploaded to:

  http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/p/bve-route-cross-city-south
  http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/p/bve-train-br-class-323

The original needs-packaging is bug #331188, which groups the four
.debs:

  openbve                     (Simulator engine/game engine)
  openbve-data                (Support files; icons, languages, ...)

  bve-route-cross-city-south  (Negotiated separately as a PD release)
  bve-train-br-class-323      (Negotiated separately again, also under PD)

The game engine and its support files were uploaded in February and
accepted into Universe, immediately before Feature Freeze.  The
route/train packages did not get uploaded at the same time because of
the circumstances:

  * Last minute negotiation over public domain releases (and non-free cleansing by upstreams)
  * Large .orig upload size (~30 MB) combined, not possible over unreliable GPRS access at the time

In the meantime, the game engine has gone 1.0, with a series of small
bugfix releases.  This 1.0 release fixed bugs and reduced the patch
delta between the Ubuntu .deb and upstream and thus 1.0.2.0 is now in
the archive.

The train/route packages both contain *no executable code*.  There is
*no direct dependency* between the packages, meaning that there should
be a low risk of package/build issues this close to release.  The game
engine, route and train package are related based a:

  Provides/Recommends:  bve-engine, bve-train, bve-route

relationship combination to allow single-click GUI installation of all
of the jigsaw pieces (if available).

Currently there are no other BVE {train,route} files in the archive.
The packages have undergone several hours ...testing.
