Huh, I did not know about this solution. Cool :)

I'm concerned that this is not distributable. I suspect that Sega would not approve of their assets being used in a 3rd party works.

[oreo639]

Void Linux already distributes opensonic (which does come with assets).
srb2 does allow one to just put the assets in ~/.srb2, so we don't technically have to distribute the assets.
Also, there was a flatpack made after this pull request was opened so it isn't a big deal if this isn't merged.

[the-maldridge]

We were actually just discussing that on IRC. It seems like opensonic snuck in as it almost certainly isn't distributable either.

@oreo639 if this is accepted, but as a restricted package (not a guarantee, just something I put forward), do you think you'd be up to updating it for new releases, or do you think you'll stick with the flatpak?

If you still want to maintain it, we can keep this open for further pondering, otherwise I believe we should close the PR. Distributing assets is rather messy, and I'm not sure the packaage is very useful without them, with just the executables. What do you think? For the record, we do ship a lot of doom clones and some other games which require external assets.

I would plan to continue updating this package.

The assets for srb2 can be downloaded from a zip file on their github releases page.
The game does check the md5sum of the assets to make sure they are valid for that version of the game.

Personally, I'm not sure. I'm fine with whatever.

[ericonr]

Please make it restricted

Alright, I'll do it tomorrow.
