[Bug-freedink] Re: FreeDink ArchLinux package

[Sylvain Beucler]

Hi Petteri,

I made a few changes to the FreeDink packaging:

- I renamed 'dfarc' to 'freedink-dfarc' (for clarity, and because
  DFArc can use some FreeDink-specific features)

- I renamed 'freedink' to 'freedink-engine'

- 'freedink' is a meta-package to install 'freedink' and
  'freedink-dfarc', as I think both need to be installed, if only to
  match the official (windows) release.

- The 'dink-data' package is now obsolete, because I began work on
  'freedink-data' which includes some replacements for the game sounds
  & music.  'freedink-engine' depends on 'freedink-data' (it's pretty
  useless without).

Please let me know if this is OK with you (and archlinux :)).

PS: any progress with the finnish DFArc translation? :)
