* Package name : play.it-strategy Version : no release yet, we will trigger one soon Upstream Contact: Antoine Le Gonidec <vv...@dotslashplay.it> * URL : https://git.dotslashplay.it/games-strategy/about/ * License : BSD-2-Clause Programming Lang: Shell Description : ./play.it game scripts collection - Strategy games ./play.it is a free software building native packages from installers for Windows or Linux, mainly those sold by stores focusing on DRM-free games distribution. The goal is that a game installed via ./play.it is indistinguishable from a game installed via the official repositories of your favourite distribution. ./play.it is already packaged in Debian, cf. https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/play.it This specific collection includes only strategy games. These games rely on long-term planning. They often include military troops management, but can be more peaceful with a focus on resource gathering and logistics. Both turn-based and real-time games are included. This games collection is a recent upstream addition, that took over the maintenance of strategy games from the community-maintained games collection (packaged as play.it-community in Debian). So with the next update of play.it-community, support for many games would be lost. Adding support for this games collection as play.it-strategy before updating play.it-community would ensure support for no game ends up temporarily unavailable. As both the upstream of ./play.it and maintainer of the current Debian-provided packages, I plan to maintain this one under the Games Team umbrella.
