why was steam removed from games?
hijacking the thread a bit... Has anyone actually looked at the package from a technical point of view? Even if we got permissions to distribute this I'd still consider it very ugly and hardly acceptable. /usr/bin/steam is just a shell script that extracts the tarball that contains the actual binary to your home and then runs the binary from there.
That's probably so that $HOME/steam can update itself without requiring root. Not that that is a justification for the uglyness..
but still, having a rpm package would make it possible to initially pull the correct dependencies, which would make linux / openSUSE friendlier to use for the casual gamer. cheers, MH -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org
