If you meant "Are *you* the one", I'm not - I'm actually a Mageia
packager, but I lurk on debian-devel-games as an important part of
what is discussed here is also relevant to my packaging interests for
Mageia.
I haven't seen Debian's packaging policy for Löve2D games yet, but I
guess it should be pretty straightforward. Basically packaging a love
game means zipping the contents of the source repo in a .love archive,
put it in /usr/share/games/$name/, and add a matching desktop file and
icon (and maybe a wrapper script in /usr/games/$name).
Here are some examples of Löve2D games I packaged for Mageia if you're
interested (and know RPM spec files a bit):
- 90 second portraits -
http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/90secondportraits/current/SPECS/90secondportraits.spec?view=markup
- Duck Marines -
http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/duckmarines/current/SPECS/duckmarines.spec?view=markup
(by the way for this one I'm using a custom source tarball based on
some work we did on the FreeGameDev repo to replace the NC music with
libre music - Simon Larsen has said he still prefers the NC art and
has asked the author if he would relicense it, but no answer so far
[1])
- In Your Face City Trains -
http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/iyfct/current/SPECS/iyfct.spec?view=markup
- Mari0 - http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/mari0/current/SPECS/mari0.spec?view=markup
- MrRescue - http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/mrrescue/current/SPECS/mrrescue.spec?view=markup
- Vapor - http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/vapor/current/SPECS/vapor.spec?view=markup
(sadly still using love 0.8)
Hope this helps :)
