Hi, packaging stuff/binaries randomly donwloaded from the internet is
somewhat a no-go for Debian in general.

some additional remarks:
you are exposing an i386 package, but I think it runs on amd64 too.
(it does on my machine)

you can't guarantee libstdc++ ABI compatibility (specially after the
stdc++ transition)

I would suggest you to completely avoid the binary, and download it
only if the user agrees on the license.

You can look e.g. to virtualbox-ext-pack, that does download the
binary after license accept.
(that way you even simplify the copyright, and remove the .in)

cheers,

Gianfranco

Bug#807700: RFS: steamcmd - Command-line interface for Steam

2015-12-11 Thread Alexandre Detiste 
Package: sponsorship-requests
Version: RFS: steamcmd - Command-line interface for Steam
Severity: wishlist

Dear mentors,

  I am looking for a sponsor for my package "hello":

 * Package name: steamcmd
   Version : upstream package is sadly not versioned
   Upstream Author : Valve
 * URL : https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD
 * License : commercial
   Section : non-free/games

  It builds those binary packages:

steamcd:i386 - Command-line interface for Steam

  To access further information about this package, please visit the following
URL:

  http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-games/steamcmd.git/

  This is the initial upload.

  A few considerations: this program needs to run from a writable
  location & will automatically update itself the first time it's ran.

  So, I could have stuffed the current 'steamcmd' binary & 'steamcmd.sh'
  of the day in the package, but that would hadn't enabled someone to
  reproduce that package, so instead I used the binary
  timestamped 2013/02/05 from the tarball.

  https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz

  This package reuse much work done on the src:steam package
  & depends on steam:i386 binary package to ensure that all needed
  depedencies are already installed and that user has already
  accepted the EULA.

  Regards,

  Alexandre Detiste
