Hi,

I have briefly discussed the situation of the Scummvm plugin
with Simon last month in Cambridge.

We agreed that there is too much intelligence in the generated, "unfixable"
(unless someone takes the time to repack the game), generated .deb's;
and that some or most of this intelligence should be moved
to automatically upgradable game-data-packager-runtime.

So actually (option a) the .desktop file would looks like this:
> > +Exec=/usr/share/games/game-data-packager[runtime] fate-of-atlantis-en-data

_or_ (option b) game-data-packager-runtime would ship .desktop files
pre-generated for each game but that would mean spamming
the various desktop environments with so many TryExec=
and I don't know if they would cope

I prefer option a.

I'm getting back at this in 2024

Greetings
