Rules for game packaging

This document contain list of simple rules that may help you with game packaging.

Basic rules about package

  • Directory containing game is in format: packagename-version.
  • All files in tarball are stored in directory. Tarball shouldn't contain files which are not in the directory.
  • Tarball name is in format: packagename-version.tar.gz or packagename-version.tar.bz2 (tar.gz is preffered)
  • If you change any data or sourcecode in game, increase version number or add significant mark to the version name.
  • Before making final package try to compile game and then try to remove compiled code by: make and make clean
  • If  package containing configure script remove all Makefile and config.cache containing information from previos compilation. (Ofcourse don't remove Makefile which is necessary for package)
  • If you want to use configure script in the game and you don't know how to do it, please check out project Oxymoron.

Submiting new game or patch

  • If you found new game which is not listed on our portal or you want to submit your own game, please send us email, or put announce to forum.

  • The best way how to patch game is to contact author of the game and send him patch. Than if patch is accepted please send us notify about new version.
