Not a lot of games left to package? The SIG wishlist has a bunch of
games. If people need more I can certainly add more. For example:
Granted some of them can't be packaged for legal reasons but there are
plenty which could be added.
As for where to start on packaging, I don't remember what resources I
used to learn to create rpms as it was a long time ago. Often when
looking to package something, I see if an rpm has been created for
another distribution. That is often a good starting point. For example,
Block Attack - Rise of the Blocks is a Tetris Attack clone I found on
the web site mentioned above. A search for '"block attack" rpm' finds
that opensuse has a package:

Hi Kamil,
personally I'd prefer containing the games on Flatpak to be more
flexible and it can be provided for a hugh user base.
I hope the games I've suggested now are mostly clones. Thus they
might be included for Fedora. The Dark Mod sounds an interesting
game! I've made a notice for your wish:)
Cheers
Andi

Hi Andi,
only opensource software can be part of Fedora, and there are not
that many opensource games out there (which are not already packaged
for Fedora), so it might be a bit difficult to find something
suitable and interesting (but some of the OS clones might be a good
idea). Additionally regarding games packaging, you can consider
making flatpaks instead of RPMs and submitting them to Flathub [1].
Flathub can not only contain opensource games, but also freeware and
free-to-play games (let's talk about Linux-native games at the
moment, incorporating Wine into them would be another level of
difficulty). For example, I'd personally love to see The Dark Mod [2]
available at Flathub.
In Fedora you can also participate on packaging and maintaining game-
related software, like emulators and launchers. Wine, Lutris and
PLayOnLinux are the most visible ones, but then there are also lots
of retro emulators, many of them not even in Fedora yet, I'd guess.
So it depends on your experience and interests (both gaming and
packaging). You could even participate in e.g. Lutris community in
creating and maintaining scripts to allow easy installation of
Windows and other platforms' games on Linux.
The Gaming SIG [3] might provide a better advice, this is just what I
know.
