RFS: play.it/2.9.0-1 [ITP]



Hi Games Team,

Is anyone willing to sponsor this new package for me? I've uploaded it
to mentors: https://mentors.debian.net/package/play.it

Essentially, it's most like game-data-packager in its design, but for
the original engines, often wrapped in a multi-user wineprefix.

From ITP #898372:

* Package name    : play.it
  Version         : 2.7.5
  Upstream Author : Antoine Le Gonidec <vv221@dotslashplay.it>
* URL             : https://www.dotslashplay.it/
* License         : BSD-2-Clause
  Programming Lang: Shell
  Section         : contrib/games
  Description     : Installer for drm-free commercial games

The ./play.it tool builds .deb and .pkg packages from installers for Windows
or Linux, mainly those sold by GOG and Humble Bundle. The goal is that a game
installed via ./play.it is indistinguishable from a game installed via the
official repositories of your favorite distribution.
.
The games are installed globally on multi-user systems, avoiding unnecessary
duplication. The locations of save games, settings, mods, temporary files and
backups are standardized with XDG Base Directory support.
.
Packaging the games simplifies future updates, uninstalls and handling of any
necessary dependencies, including integrated obsolete dependencies if specific
versions are needed.
