Package: simutrans
Version: 102.2+svn2786-1
Severity: wishlist

Hello, thanks for your great work on simutrans.
To make simutrans on debian even better I think it'd be nice to have more paksets available to choose from.
I'm not sure if it's possible license-wise.

As far as I know, only pak64 and pak128.britain are available under a
free license. Other paksets seem to ship without any license and thus
cannot be re-distributed.

I have filed an ITP for pak128.britain [1], but did not manage to upload
it yet. There is a slightly outdated package available on Launchpad[2].

Regards,
Ansgar

I have set up a repository with some paksets. As mentioned before, they
won't be included in Debian any time soon (except for pak128.britain).

You can add

deb http://www.43-1.org/~simutrans/packages/ unstable main non-free

to your sources list, import the signing key via

wget -O - http://www.43-1.org/~simutrans/packages-key.gpg | apt-key add -

and several packages named `simutrans-pak*' should be available.
Alternatively you can download the *.deb files by hand.

Regards,
Ansgar
