First off, thank-you for the Linux port!

I am curious if this will be packaged as a deb, as other GoG Linux releases have been. It's a little more pleasant to have the package manager install games than to manage them manually, which involves adding/removing menu items along with manually installing the binaries to a suitable location.

+1. This would be nice, but maybe this is better suited for the community wishlist?

Here's my 2 cents.

As much as it would be nice to have .deb AND .rpm packages, binary tarballs works fine as they work on any Linux system (as long as you resolve the dependencies).

At least, with the games I have bought, you get tarballs. It would suck if those games only had .deb, which is useless to me (I've tried alien and it's not that great to convert .deb to .rpm).

With that said, I spend a lot of time in CLI, so typing 'cd $GAMEFOLDER' and then './start.sh' isn't much of a bother to me.

Well, you can simple extract the .deb as it too is an archive, but if we only get one the tarball gets my vote. Also, start.sh has the undocumented --install option similar to installing it via a .deb.

--install does nothing in this release, sadly.

Perhaps fixing that would be sufficient?
