Hello GOG community,
These last days I've been working in a linux installer for GOG games. It's not about downloading; I know there are quite a few projects for that (one of which I intend to merge with in the future). I'm concentrating on extracting, repackaging and installing the game on the system.
It's just a simple script right now: I repackage the innosetup, remove what's not useful, move a few things around and leave a clean game directory to be used with dosbox/wine/scummvm/whatever.
If anyone's interested, it's here: https://github.com/rafaelmessias/gog-installer
It's pretty much under heavy development right now. Any and all comments are very welcome. You can use github's issue tracker if you prefer.
Thanks for the attention!
