spring for Debian
=================

Please use debian/rules get-orig-source to obtain the dfsg free upstream
sources.

The engine is not built with all hardening build flags to ensure synchronicity
between clients.

This source package embeds various patched third party software to ensure
cross-system compatibility and synchronicity between connected clients from
different operating systems. Replacing these embedded copies with unpatched
system libraries will cause sync errors and will make online gaming impossible.

For more information please have a look at these official threads:
