A big gap since the last Debian Day. On request I reviewed Gustavo Panizzo's Hexen 2 Package which is in pretty good shape and should be ready for upload fairly soon. A prerequisite for that is support for Hexen 2 in game-data-packager: I've hacked in preliminary support and pushed a package to experimental (version 31), it should be available not long after you read this.

There's quite a lot more we could do with Hexen 2 support: rip the CD audio; encode it, there's an open question as to which codec to use, or to support multiple codecs; detect different versions of the game and re-order the CD tracks accordingly; support the mission pack; generalise any new ripping code so Quake support could use it; etc. etc.
