Bug#898372: ITP: play.it -- Installer for drm-free commercial games



Package: wnpp
Owner: Phil Morrell <debian@emorrp1.name>
Severity: wishlist

* 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

./play.it is a tool which builds .deb and .pkg packages from installers
for Windows or Linux, mainly those sold by GOG and Humble Bundle. Our
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.

Similar packages:
* game-data-packager - no original engines, fewer games
* playonlinux - only wine, single-user
* lutris - gui, game library manager, bigger scope

Initial packaging at https://salsa.debian.org/emorrp1-guest/play.it.
I plan to maintain it in Debian Games Team.
