This tarball is just an auto-generated snapshot that GitHub creates
whenever you make a new release on the GitHub page. These are rarely
what the upstream developers want us to use.

Instead we should use either 'megaglest-data-3.13.0.tar.xz' or
'megaglest-standalone-data-3.13.0.tar.xz'. Can you try it?

"Data files for MegaGlest".

I think the description can just include this final sentence.
