Source: steam-installer
Architecture: source
Version: 1:1.0.0.75+ds-3
Distribution: unstable
Urgency: medium
Maintainer: Debian Games Team <pkg-games-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org>
Changed-By: Simon McVittie <smcv at debian.org>
Closes: 950493 992533
Changes:
 steam-installer (1:1.0.0.75+ds-3) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * Retry failed upload, no source changes
 .
 steam-installer (1:1.0.0.75+ds-2) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * d/scripts/steam.in: Add a zenity prompt before installing.
     Installing and running Steam implies running proprietary software,
     which might not be desirable, particularly for privileged users.
     Add a prompt before installing, as a safety-catch against accidentally
     running Steam under an unintended user account.
   * README.Debian: Mention pipewire-pulse as an alternative to pulseaudio
   * README.Debian: Recommend running Steam as an unprivileged user
   * README.Debian: Provide an example policy to silence polkit prompts.
     Because polkit policy applies at a per-user rather than per-program
     level, this is only useful if you are running Steam as an unprivileged
     guest user that does not have a legitimate need to carry out sysadmin
     operations like configuring the network.
   * d/steam.6: Add a replacement for the non-free upstream man page
   * Lintian/janitorial fixes:
     - Remove version constraints unnecessary since buster (oldstable)
     - Correct machine-readable copyright file URI
     - Update standards version to 4.6.2 (no changes needed)
     - d/upstream/metadata: Add bug URLs
     - d/source/lintian-overrides: Ignore absence of Repository in
       d/upstream/metadata.
       There is no public VCS for either the proprietary parts of Steam,
       or the open-source scripts included in this package.
   * Upload to unstable, replacing src:steam
 .
 steam-installer (1:1.0.0.75+ds-1) experimental; urgency=medium
 .
   * Rename source package and main binary package to steam-installer
   * Repack a version of Valve's steam-launcher package that is limited
     to only DFSG files, downloading the Valve-provided bootstrapper binary
     on-demand.
     The .deb never actually contained the full Steam client, only the
     "bootstrapper", which is enough to download the rest of Steam and
     set it up in the user's home directory.
     Since we require Internet access to do that initial setup, we might
     as well make use of that Internet access to fetch all the proprietary
     files, including the bootstrapper itself. This will make everything in
     the .deb DFSG-compliant, which will allow steam-installer and
     steam-devices to go into contrib and main, respectively.
     The icons and .desktop file that come with the proprietary client are
     also proprietary, so we substitute a generic "software installation"
     icon. During initial setup, we install the proprietary icons into the
     user's home directory, where they will take precedence over this
     placeholder.
   * Stop presenting the Steam Subscriber Agreement as a debconf question.
     Valve's own official .deb doesn't do this, and it really has more to do
     with use of a Steam account than it has to do with downloading the client.
     The Steam client presents the Steam Subscriber Agreement during creation
     of new Steam accounts.
     Doing this as a debconf question might have been necessary to comply
     with an earlier redistribution license (prior to version 1.0.0.55)
     but it doesn't seem to be required any more.
     (Closes: #950493)
   * Add a steam-libs metapackage to pull in the expected libraries and
     utilities to run Steam. This exists on both amd64 and i386.
   * Change steam-installer to Architecture: amd64, but with a
     cross-architecture dependency on steam-libs-i386, which depends on
     steam-libs:i386 as the usual workaround for explicit dependencies on a
     foreign-architecture package not being allowed.
     Older versions of Steam were purely i386 code, but newer versions use
     amd64 binaries for important functionality, so we have to use both.
     (Closes: #992533)
   * Remove parts of the build system that are no longer relevant.
     Unfortunately the upstream documentation is non-free, so we no longer
     have a man page.
   * d/copyright: Use machine-readable copyright format, and stop generating
     the copyright file using a template.
     We're no longer shipping files under Valve's proprietary license:
     those are now downloaded on-demand.
   * Take over the steam-devices package from src:steam, moving from
     non-free to main. Everything in it is DFSG.
   * Take over the steam package from src:steam, turning it into an
     empty transitional package and moving it from non-free to contrib.
   * d/p/metainfo-Include-Debian-specific-advice.patch:
     Include Debian-specific multiarch advice in AppStream metainfo
   * Move postinst reloading udev rules from steam-installer to
     steam-devices.
     It's really only steam-devices that wants this.
   * preinst: Add a way to fake presence of Nvidia drivers for testing
   * steam.in: Remove check for SSE2 instruction set.
     SSE2 is part of the amd64 baseline, but not the i386 baseline. This
     means we needed an explicit check for steam:i386 package, but we no
     longer need that check for steam-installer:amd64.
   * d/scripts/steam.in: Explicitly use set -e.
     This ensures it takes effect even if we run with something like
     `bash -x /usr/games/steam`.
   * d/steam-installer.bug-control: List Vulkan ICDs
   * d/steam-installer.bug-presubj: Mention Help -> System Information
   * Update copyright years
   * d/copyright: Add Disclaimer for contrib packages
   * README.Debian: Canonicalize name
   * README.Debian: Add some notes about install location
   * Upload to experimental for NEW processing
