Hi all, I have updated the Debian Games Pure Blend [1] [2] and I think that all task files are polished enough for an upload to NEW now. The main goal of this project is to make it easy for users to install a selection of specific games, like chess or simulation games. The tasks are still based on DebTags categories but they have been checked by hand for consistency and usability. The new blend installs only games from main. I have also added two new tasks for installing console games and emulators and a third one that promotes "Debian's finest games". Games which show up there were chosen due to popularity (popcon value), unique gameplay, look and feel, aesthetics, fun factor and a good portion of subjectivity. I don't claim that the list is set in stone. You can bribe me if your game should be included in there. The goal was to present outstanding games from different genres. Another idea for the future might be to create a "finest-light" task that installs only smaller and less hardware demanding games or more developer oriented tasks but that's just an idea. I have removed KDE and Gnome 3 specific games modules because it is possible to install them via separate metapackages. I also wanted to avoid that core components of these desktop environments are installed and mixed together. At the moment I'm thinking about the next steps. I feel I'm more interested in learning how to create a Debian Live DVD/usb stick for games, so I think this could be the next goal. If you are interested in this project please let me know about your ideas and suggestions.
