NAME

game-data-packager - build a .deb of game data

SYNOPSIS

game-data-packager [ -d out-directory [ -n ] ] game [ game-options ]

DESCRIPTION

Many open-source games require game data which is licensed incompatibly with the Debian Free Software Guidelines. game-data-packager is a tool designed to help you locally assemble Debian packages containing such game data from CD-ROMs, the Internet or elsewhere. game-data-packager uses dpkg via sudo to install the generated Debian package(s) (unless you tell it not to).

OPTIONS

-d out-directory
writes the generated Debian package to the specified directory.
-n
Do not attempt to install the generated Debian package. This option must be used in conjunction with -d.
game
The game being packaged. Running game-data-packager without arguments will display a list of valid games. Running game-data-packager with just the game and no further arguments will display a list of valid options for that game.
