I’m looking at [these two scripts](https://github.com/ioquake/ioq3/tree/main/misc/linux) and doing some improvements to them and was wondering if people had strong feelings either way about merging the two?

They both currently do exactly what they say, one just compiles a server-specific version of ioquake3 and the other just starts a server up. It could become an albatross of server-specific shell scripting or be more convenient to combine them both.
