2) Are you planning to merge the existing SUSE Package Conventions with the new Guidelines? Yes, that's a long term plan. The reason what I'm doing this is because Fedora's structure of documentation is better than we have (we also has a lot of information on wiki, but you often need to know where it is). And if we will have a packaging documentation in similar structure, it would be easier to check the differences. And maybe work on some unification, but my main goal is improve packaging docs for SUSE.
In which state is this? I see "http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Games/Packaging" isn't in http://pack.suse.cz/mvyskocil/fedora-packaging-guidelines/, but it has some interesting points.
The import status (and the list of the imported pages) is here http://en.opensuse.org/Packaging/Status . As you can see we only imported (some of the) pages from Packaging: namespace, so SIGs/Games/Packaging is not there. It is a nice document and I'm considering it adding to our Packaging Guidelines, but first I'd like to clarify some points ...
I don't know what other maintainers of the game repo think, but I would say it is valid with just these changes: - For third point we make it the other way. openSUSE game packages use /usr/games and %{_datadir}/games/%{name}
This is worth discussion. Is there a solid reason to use separate directories for games? (According to FHS /usr/games and /usr/share/games are optional and we have it in our filesystem, so I'm neutral about this).
- For point six I find a general problem in openSUSE. Packages seem to use whatever Group the packager can imagine. We don't limit ourself to groups from /usr/share/doc/packages/rpm/GROUPS. Isn't as if we gave much importance to the Group tag, but...
- The OpenGL Wrapper part can be removed.
We have opengl-games-utils package in games, so we could probably follow this point, but I'm not sure whether it is worth it. I just added the check to Game Store[1], where it makes sense, because the user cannot see the console output.
