Details
Description:
Video files that correspond to warzone2100 must be found and downloaded by the user from sourceforge. [1] It may be useful to package these video files to avoid this. The highest quality videos come in at 964.3mb (EN) and 499.2mb (DE) respectively; the separate languages could be packaged in different split packages.
The high size shouldn't be problematic (compare packages such as 0ad-data which come in at 1.7gb installed) with limited maintenance effort as the video files haven't changed since 2012. Alternatively, a post-install message could be added to the package, with the downside that the videos are then no longer tracked by pacman.
