vv221: One of our contributors is working on something that sounds similar: build.it
This is a Python wrapper that:
- scans your collection of game installers
- uses ./play.it to generate .deb packages for the supported ones
- generates a full APT repository from the generated packages, allowing to to install them from any computer having access to this repository
Oooh very nice! This is a Python wrapper that:
- scans your collection of game installers
- uses ./play.it to generate .deb packages for the supported ones
- generates a full APT repository from the generated packages, allowing to to install them from any computer having access to this repository
Gede: I imagine that most game updates do not break the ./play.it scripts.
But my point is: I think that the MD5 and name check is nice to provide a safeguard, but should be easy for the user to skip them if desired (perhaps it is since the last time I tried). Unless there is some data proves me wrong, and I wish some was collected for or against this idea.
In the case of Fallout Tactics the script still worked fine but I've never looked at any others. There is a switch to skip the MD5 check.But my point is: I think that the MD5 and name check is nice to provide a safeguard, but should be easy for the user to skip them if desired (perhaps it is since the last time I tried).
