port of game-data-packager to Fedora
by Alexandre Detiste
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.
https://github.com/a-detiste/game-data-packager/commits/fedora
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.
http://pkg-games.alioth.debian.org/game-data/
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; but "wolf4sdl" is also not packaged,
so this is not a problem.
https://sources.debian.net/src/dynamite/0.1.1-2/src/id-shr-extract.c/
Of course, I realize it could be against Fedora policy (it's also not in Debian proper,
but in contrib)...

There's also a handfull of DFSG games supported, like "Soltys" & "Dracie Historie";
and DreamWeb that is distributable.
Greets,
