Bug#820750: ITP: emulationstation -- Graphical emulator front-end
hi Sergio ,
I have tested deeply and reviewed intensely the package, was strange
to congigured, due the software assumed u have emulators installed
and there are things that must be taken into!!:
the most interesting: is that the original repository has a year of
inactivity and there is a folk continuous work. [1] that added more
features and solves some of problems, due are not oficial and original
author are noticed about, i posted some solution to that: [2] but the
issue its that solved a short of issues in OSX and linux, like proper
shutdown and build system, support for C+11 in modern compilers,
simlinks common files and management of hideen files property
the most users related: simplelly emulationstation does not lauch if u
dont have at leas one emulator or related listed installed, but takin
in consideration, games and emulators are located in /usr/games and
data files in /usr/share so that tootally new for the program packaged
jeje, for the moment that its not so important, can be doit for a
"fase 2" of packaging, for uploading its not necesary
but more related to the package: is that it has to rely on a necesary
dependency: a theme package, and if theme package are various, the
package of theme must provide "emualtionstation-theme" and then
emulationstation package must depend on that (without that install
perfectly and then crashed), in addition to at least suggest an
emulator package, due then can run but then exits with a message very
vage (message refers to "systems" but normal users does not know what
"systems")
also, emulationstation named "games" to the roms, this can be vage too
due seem can manage lauch for some games
