Hello,

You are going to release the version 0.9.8 of PCSX2 in 1 or 2 month. The linux 
version is a little less compatible than the MS version but I was able to 
finish several games ;).
svn checkout http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/branches/0.9.8 PCSX2-0.9.8

An example to create a PCSX2 package is provided under debian-upstream
directory. The package include 2 small patch to change default
configuration path to be more FHS compliant (I hope!). A script
(create_pcsx2_tarball_from_svn_repository.sh) to create a nice tarball
without licences issue (and remove useless stuff) is also provided.
Others stuff are pretty standards. You could also get it from ours
PPA:https://launchpad.net/~gregory-hainaut/+archive/pcsx2.official.ppa

Unfortunately the graphic plugins depends on nvidia-cg-toolkit which is
non-DFSG free but free enough to be distributed in the non-free Debian
repository. Moreover PCSX2 requires at least an SSE2 capable CPU. We
make this choice because older CPU without SSE2 will not be able to run
PCSX2 anyway. PCSX2 is only 32bits compatible (because it is a virtual
machine like flash), it would need multi-arch support to be easily
installable on amd64.

We are open to heard any suggestion that could ease the packaging of our
beautiful emulator.

Best regards,
Gregory
