Hmm. It seems like there's no way to remove packages once in extras-devel. I hadn't really counted on that. Anyway, the temp package was probably a bad idea as you say, but only because it clutters up the repository. It can be installed and removed without affecting the main package (uqm), and will be automatically replaced at the next main release if at all possible. (Apt could do it, but i know app installer has narrower tolerances.)

The reason for optional content packages is that they are 130 MB addition to a 10 MB game, and represent the 3DO content vs. included PC content. Perhaps people don't care as much about the bandwidth and space issue for the N900 as i am projecting on them.

What's the thought on this, people? Should install pull in all 140 MB of content, or should there be an optional add-on package?
