Hi,
 
My redhat/fedora skills were a bit rusty (1998-rusty),
so as an exercice I dediced to port to fedora 
the game-data-packager Debian native project I'm working on.
 
So far, so good, it's already mostly done.

That will provide Fedora recipes to automaticaly build noarch .rpm
for currently about 200 games; one of my goal is to cover 
all versions of all scummvm games.
 
It can also download shareware data for doom, quake, descent... games.

Of course it would be better to have real Fedora users that test this;
not only someone that run a minimal install on a container.
(chocolate-doom works over "ssh -X" !)
 
For example I already spotted that fedora "dynamite" package is lacking
id-shr-extract program needed to unpack wolf3d shareware;
but rpmfusion provides "wolf3d-shareware.noarch" sot this is not a problem.


Two interresting dependencies of G-D-P I didn't found in rpmfusion
are innoextract & lgogdownloader; when installed a setup....exe
sold by GOG.com can be automaticaly downloaded & repacked as a .rpm

 
Greets,
