quake3-server (10) experimental; urgency=low quake3-server configuration has changed significantly in this version. The DAEMON_OPTS variable in /etc/default/quake3-server no longer contains a configurable "+exec" command. /etc/quake3-server/server.cfg will always be executed in addition to whatever is specified in DAEMON_OPTS, and the default DAEMON_OPTS is now empty. The START_DAEMON variable in /etc/default/quake3-server is no longer supported. If quake3-server was previously disabled via START_DAEMON, upgrading to this version will run "update-rc.d quake3-server disable" to disable it in the correct way. systemd users can now enable additional instances of the server, quake3-server@INSTANCE.service, which use /etc/default/quake3-server@INSTANCE and /etc/quake3-server/INSTANCE.cfg instead. See /usr/share/doc/quake3-server/README.Debian for details. -- Simon McVittie Wed, 04 Feb 2015 10:18:27 +0000 quake3-server (1.4) unstable; urgency=low In earlier Debian packaging for Quake III Arena, the quake3-server package did not run a server by default. Since version 1.4, new installations of quake3-server will run a server from the init script by default. The upgrade from 1.3 to 1.4 attempts to detect whether the server was enabled. If it was not, it creates a file "/var/games/quake3-server/init-script-disabled-by-upgrade"; if that file exists, the init script does not start the server. You can restore normal behaviour by deleting it. This special upgrade behaviour is likely to be removed after Debian 7 is released, so if you do not intend to run a Quake III Arena dedicated server, please remove the quake3-server package before upgrading to Debian 8. -- Simon McVittie Sat, 23 Jun 2012 00:34:40 +0100
