[Pkg-games-ubuntu] [Bug 82436] Re: wesnoth-all meta-package request (for gnome-app-install)

[Emmet Hikory]

Indeed.  I can confirm this result with Jaunty.  It is a bug only in
gnome-app-install, in that gnome-app-install installs wesnoth-core
rather than either wesnoth or wesnoth-all.

You received this bug notification because you are a member of
Debian/Ubuntu Games Team, which is subscribed to wesnoth in ubuntu.

Status in The gnome application installer: Confirmed
Status in “wesnoth” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released
Status in “wesnoth” package in Debian: Fix Released

Bug description:
New users of Linux/Ubuntu will see gnome-app-install and simply assume that is how you get a program installed.
Currently when you install "wesnoth" you get no music and no campaigns this makes the package almost useless.

My spec as such is for a meta-package called wesnoth-all which would install wesnoth along with all of it's extra packages for inclusion into gnome-app-install.
This means then that new users need only use this package and have a game ready to rock straight away.
