+freedoom (Free Software replacement for Doom/Doom2 game data)
+
+The Freedoom project aims to create a complete Doom-based game which is
+Free Software. Combined with a free source port, people will also be
+able to play the back catalog of extensions made to Doom by hobbyists
+over the last 15 years.
+
+Freedoom requires a Doom engine to play, such as zdoom (available from
+slackbuilds.org). It does NOT require the original Doom or Doom II IWAD
+files, since it is a replacement for them.
+
+This package installs 3 wad files in /usr/share/games/doom:
+
+freedoom.wad - Replacement IWAD for Doom II.
+freedoomu.wad - Same data as freedoom.wad, but in Doom I compatible form.
+freedm.wad - Standalone deathmatch-only level pack.
+
+To use these data files with zdoom, simply build and install this package.
+You will be prompted for which IWAD file to use (which game to play) when
+starting zdoom. Other Doom source ports may do the same, or may require
+a command-line option to set the IWAD file. Some engines may require
+symlinking "freedoom.wad" to "doom2.wad" and "freedoomu.wad" to "doom.wad".
