Problem is that nexuiz is still a fairly popular package despite being dead upstream. xonotic devs recommend dropping nexuiz in favor of xonotic. Technically, xonotic does not replace nexuiz because its gameplay is somewhat different.
I'd like some opinions on this.
hi, imho: different game -> additional package nexuiz still popular -> keep package as is.
My two cents: I'm of those who believe that we can't keep throwing 1GB packages in the repos like there's no tomorrow. So if nexuiz and xonotic are quite similar, it makes sense to only package one of them and save the extra gigabyte for a different game. -- Gaetan
