lgeneral for Debian
-------------------

Free data for LGeneral was introduced for the first time with lgeneral-data in
2014. You are able to command the k.u.k. army of World War I in multiple single
scenarios. This campaign is not complete yet but should be playable although
the fun may vary. Playtesting, feedback and suggestions for improvements are
most welcome.

You can gather more information about LGeneral for Debian at
http://wiki.debian.org/Games/LGeneral.

In order to convert the original Panzer General data to LGeneral's native file
format, you have to install lgc-pg. You can obtain those data files from the
original Panzer General CD-ROM or with game-data-packager.

Examples
========

In collaboration with lgc-pg, game-data-packager creates a proper debian
package which you just need to install. If you own a copy of Panzer General
yourself, you can do the following:

1. Convert the original Panzer General game data and create a Debian package.

    game-data-packager lgeneral -f pg-data.tar.gz

2. Fetch a compressed pg-data archive of Panzer General game data from the web
   and create a Debian package.

    game-data-packager lgeneral -w

You can directly convert the data by extracting the tar.gz archive and
performing the following command. This will install all files into
/usr/share/games/lgeneral if you run lgc-pg with appropriate permissions.
(Not recommended, it's better to use game-data-packager)

    lgc-pg -s <path-to-your-pg-data-directory>
