Thanks for the info, good to know. I just didn't know how to "unarchive" the toppler.dat file. Is there any? >> http://toppler.sourceforge.net/repos/datafile/ > This is the source for the archiver, not for toppler.dat. Well, this repository contains all the game data in its original editable format (Blender, GIMP, POV-Ray, PNGs, WAVs, ...). So, as far as I interpret it, it is not just the source for the archiver program... > This would be most inconvenient. I would need to create custom source > tarballs. I'm not really an expert in Debian packaging but very often I have seen "foo-data" packages. Maybe the toppler.dat file could be build in a toppler-data package with it's own source tarball just containing the files from the repository above? > What do you actually want to do ? I wanted to have the sources of the program in an easily accessible and editable format after checking out the debian source package of toppler. I thought this is the meaning of a *source* package. Originally, I just wanted to take a look at the game data to find a replacement for the blurry desktop file icon, see my other bug report: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=794197 Cheers Ronny -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
