This is exactly what I was looking for. I knew it was there, but I just coulnd't find it. The bad news is that it isn't documented anywhere, neither in the output of g-d-p without any arguments nor in the manpage. I reopen this bug to keep it open until this feature is properly documented. > I'm curious: why?

There is a wide range of more or less exotic flavors of DOOM.WAD available and I have installed many of them on my system. The version I want to archive in a DEB package, though, should be the one from GOG since they have already selected the "best" (i.e. most common, latest released, most complete) for their installers. I was looking for a means to tell g-d-p to use exactly *this* data and not anything else it happens to find on my system. > The list of alternatives for the full version's doom.wad are listed in > a fairly arbitrary order, but if you have several versions, I think g-d-p > picks the first one from the list. You know more about Doom than me: > is our arbitrary order right? I think I have already once reviewed this list together with Alexandre, so it should be mostly fine. In general, Doom WAD files follow a version schema and highest versions should be ordered first. Then, there may be different releases for different (more or less "common") platforms which carry the same version number, e.g. 1.9 for PC and 1.9 for XBOX. And finally, there are different actual relases that carry the same version number, e.g. Doom 1.9 and The Ultimate Doom 1.9 or the Anniversary Edition of the Final Doom IWADs or the BFG Edition of DOOM2.WAD. So, in general, WADs should be ordered by (1) version number. If the version number is the same, they should be ordered from (2) "common" to "exotic" and if there is more than one "common" version, they should be ordered by (3) more complete or bug-fixed first. Sounds complicated? Yes, it is. ;) - Fabian
