Bug#776545: game-data-packager: please add support for residualvm

[Alexandre Detiste]

Here is a patch for G-D-P to let it package Grim Fandango's demo.

https://github.com/a-detiste/game-data-packager/commit/0c9b107ba3afb0510b761c3c992fff7fb4166dbe


It also include a plugin that generate this .dekstop file:

cat /usr/share/applications/grimfandango-demo-data.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Grim Fandango (demo)
GenericName=Adventure Game
TryExec=residualvm
Exec=residualvm -p /usr/share/games/grimfandango grim
Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/residualvm.xpm
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Game

from this template:

cat data/residualvm-common.desktop.in 
[Desktop Entry]
Name=LONG
GenericName=Adventure Game
TryExec=residualvm
Exec=residualvm -p /PATH GAME
Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/residualvm.xpm
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Game

This will be re-used for the other residualvm games. (and adapted for scummvm games)




If the residualvm-data start including nice DFSG icons for each game, this would be even better :-)
