[cod] COD5-Plus Centos 5.2 wine/cod installer final

[Dnk]

I am not too familiar with debian at all, but I imagine it would not  
be hard to do. It would mostly be a matter of finding out what the  
packages are named in debian, and replacing the CentOS related install  
commands with debian specific ones.

Now to do that, I have a few quick questions regarding debian.

1) installer for debian itself, or ubuntu?

2) which version? I would prefer to use the latest and move forward,  
but I am not familiar with the debians to know which one most people  
would be using. I don't want to end up maintaining a boat load of  
versions of this script. But don't mind have a target version for  
CentOS, and one for a debian style system.

3) would you be looking for the script to compile wine as well, or  
just install from a repository (if available)? Thus making it more of  
just a setup script for cod5 itself?


4) and on the above note (3), one I have the rpms available under  
CentOS for wine, is there any value in keeping the option to compile  
wine, or should I just drop it and go rpm only, thus making the script  
more of a cod only installer?



Also moving forward, if and when certain *ahem* "files" (bins) become  
available, I will be modifying the script to just automate an install  
of that. And with those, I am sure I will be able to write it to work  
on almost any Linux system as it would probably become more cod  
specific.

Is there even value in that for the community?
