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

[Emmet Hikory]

This was fixed previously as bug #96301, and the rename clause still
appears to exist in gnome-app-install/util/rename.cfg to point at
"wesnoth-all" when installing "wesnoth" (checked karmic source).  I'm
not sufficiently familiar with gnome-app-install, but does perhaps the
hint need to be adjusted to rename "wesnoth-core" to "wesnoth"?  Might
this be related to the package rename that happened in 1:1.5.5-1, so
that the .desktop file previously provided by "wesnoth" is now provided
by "wesnoth-core", and the filter misses?

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.
