Please remove binary files and CVS folders about raceintospace

[willglynn]

According to http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Games/Upstream/#source there should not be any binary files in source code.

I agree. This is a goal -- see #3, #4, #21, etc. Right now, the game does stuff like:

struct { ... } blob;
fread(&blob, sizeof(blob), 1, &fin);

...and as such the binary data is necessary for the game to work. Patches are welcome.

In general, none of the original source material is available, so we've been writing one-off utilities (like but2png) to convert the crazy binary files into more appropriate formats.

DECRYPT.EXE should be built for a given target with CMAKE.

Hmm… I think this should probably be removed entirely. It was added way back when as a means to decrypt DOS-era savegames. The open-source version's savegame encryption functions appears to have been disabled in v41.

Also CVS folders should be removed, all is kept in git anyway.

Agreed. I moved this to #134.

@willglynn thanks, in fact what I need to provide a Debian packaging right now is just removing CVSs and DECRYPT.EXE. Now I have to repack the source, which is not the best solution form the perspective of Debian. We would better like to have pristing sources in packages.

As for the binaries, such as movies, sounds and so on - they are perfectly fine to be in source repo. I will pack them to raceintospace-data.

If you want I can make a pull request removing CVSs and DECRYPT.EXE.

In order not to loose DECRYPT.EXE and sources, I would create a spearate git repo with them and just keep them there for the sake of future. Even if they are not used anymore, somebody can always benefit from their source in some unimaginable ways.
