Re: port of game-data-packager to Fedora

The fedora support branch has now been completely merged in master :-) Running it from the git tree is explained here: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-games/game-data-packager.git/tree/doc/... $ git clone https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-games/game-data-packager.git $ make "Then the `./run` command can be used instead of the system-installed `game-data-packager` command."

(systemd-nspawn ?) The LXC recipe I have at hand doesn't work anymore: https://github.com/lxc/lxc/issues/626 --- I managed to build the "dumb" noarch rpm's produced by G-D-P by using a simple "%files" stanza and shoving the generated specfiles to "rpmbuild -bb"; but I have more difficulties in writing G-D-P's own .spec file, It should be really easy to package by someone who is used to; one just needs to do 'make ; make check' and fill version.py with constants: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-games/game-data-packager.git/tree/debi... --- The generated .rpm always go to ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch/ where the default is $(pwd) on Debian; I didn't found a simple way to overide this, but maybe that's not desired and it's better to remove the "--destination" option. Having a option not to compressing 2GB rpm's that'll be used locally or rpm's that are zipfile + little else (like Quake .pk? archives) would be nice too. --- All scummvm & z_code games (Zork, H2G2) should already work as-is. For the other games, the assets are located where the Debian-packaged engines except those, thus mostly in /usr/share/games/<something> See "grep usr/share/games data/*.yaml". So each engine needs to be reviewed. --- Bonus: the git tree also include a launcher for the "Master Levels for Doom II"; you may want to generate a seperate .rpm with this: https://wiki.debian.org/Games/MasterLevelsForDoomII Thnigs like "['update-alternatives', '--list', 'doom']" needs porting; I'll handle that. Well, I thought of that when I read the ML archives :-) Found new upstream location, filled a bug there: https://github.com/twogood/dynamite/issues/1 twogood has also recently added support for some old fancy archives to unshield recently :-) Both are in Debian/main, - innoextract is MIT licensed & also has it's own rpm repository - lgogdowloader is 'What The F**k' licensed (=~MIT) innoextract is now pretty much done, but lgogdownloader can break anyday when GOG.com changes it's API; so this needs more frequent updates like youtube-dl . There's also Steam integration to repack games like Doom, Quake, Wolfenstein that are only sold as windows game; so one needs to run Steam in wine to download the game, but then can play those with a native engine: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-games/game-data-packager.git/tree/game... Another use for this is that the .deb can be generated on a amd64 PC with Steam installed & then can be moved to a armhf RaspBerry running RaspBian (without Steam available). Regards, Alexandre
