Playdeb, the repository of the games for Ubuntu.
Great beautiful idea this new one repository that it collects, at least in the intentions, the best games for ubuntu and of it renders the installation and the modernization truly easy. Playdeb is available on GetDeb and includes a repository of software APT with a list of games that can be installed with a simple one click on the install links. These last ones need already of introduced AptURL with Ubuntu 7.10; playdeb of it demands an modernized version whose package deb can be found here. After to have installed the package it is necessary alone to slide the list of the games and to cliccare on a install link; it will come opened a dialogue window that asks the authorization to install the game, last click on yes and will leave the procedure.
Naturally it can be always added “repo” (deb mirror: /www.getdeb.net/playdeb-mirror/hardy/// hardy/) on /etc/apt/sources.list, but often for “niubbi” this is a delicate operation. In the precedence versions of AptURL it had been implemented feature for the aggiuta of repository, but it is disabilitata for emergency reasons, reason for which the solution of Playdeb to offer a package DEB for the addition of the repository it seems to me absolutely condivisibile.
The site is still a prototype, therefore with an incomplete list of games, of the difficulties of access due to the overload of the serveur that I presume literally bombed from the link. and with anchor some problem in the installation of some games (to es. I have not been able to install Barbie Seashore Adventure 1,0 because apturl he does not find it). However, in spite of these defects of youth, I think this already advanced plan to the CNR of Linspire in the design, for the facility of the set-up, the lack of conflicts with the repositories of ubuntu, and, not last, for the possibility to use the package manager existing.
It Tries to you and says what to me of it thoughts!
