[Bug 2046388] Re: reinstate alex4-data as an alternative to game-data-packager

[Simon Quigley]

You would just revert the diff made in ubuntu1 in an ubuntu2 entry, with
a note that it can be synced on the next Debian upload.

When it shows up in our reports, we'll be able to look back at that
changelog entry and sync accordingly.

Unsubscribing ubuntu-sponsors, please provide a new diff and re-
subscribe when you're all set :)

Title:
  reinstate alex4-data as an alternative to game-data-packager

Status in alex4 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  As discussed in LP: #2045607, the reason for alex4 relying on
  alex4-data, even though alex4-data is not a distributable package (at
  least publicly), is so that users can build a package which bundles
  all of the non-distributable data once and then distribute it to their
  other machines without having to rebuild it.

  A previously provided example of this currently is the package
  opentyrian, which relies on "tyrian-data | game-data-packager":

  https://packages.ubuntu.com/noble/opentyrian

  
  One change that we should make is to put game-data-packager first in the OR condition. Some tools may try very hard to install the first option and I think putting the package which is actually available in the archive first makes a little more sense.
