With some guidance from Jordi I started making data needed by other
Freeciv packages.
Package names will be freeciv-tileset-xxx, where <xxx> is the name of
the tileset. To get things working I started with tinydent. I made a
freeciv-tileset-tinydent directory which I uploaded into the repository
(I figured this couldn't break anything).
I've never done this before, so someone knowledgeable should take a
look. At some point it should be rather trivial to add new tilesets
since one tileset shouldn't differ much from another. Many of the files
may in fact be the same (doesn't subversion help with this by allowing
links?).
However adding tilesets that will become obsolete quickly probably isn't
a good idea. If upgrading freeciv requires removing 5 tileset packages
that isn't so good.
There was one problem with the dependencies. Tilesets depend on having
the right version of freeciv-data and freeciv-client (>=1.14, <<1.15).
But it seems a dependency on freeciv-client isn't possible since this is
a virtual package.
