EmulationStation Desktop Edition (ES-DE) frontend
Hi!
I'm the main developer of EmulationStation Desktop Edition (ES-DE) which
is a heavily modified fork of the RetroPie EmulationStation frontend.
I've updated the application to be truly cross-platform, running on
Linux, BSD Unix, macOS and Windows.
Two days ago I sent an RFP request to get this packaged as I
unfortunately won't have time to package the application for all the
different operating systems that are supported.
Maybe you would be interested in maintaining this?
I don't think there is anything equivalent on Debian at the moment.
I do distribute .deb packages via the project website https://es-de.org
but it would be nice to also get this added to the repositories as it
would be helpful for the users.
Here is the RFP:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=992096
I'm afraid I made two mistakes in the RFP though, as I copied/pasted a
previous RFP, the URL from that request ended up in the RFP in addition
to the correct one.
As well, I spelled "frontend" as "front-end" which should not be the case.
I hope you will see the value of adding ES-DE to Debian and that you
would perhaps be willing to maintain the Debian package.
Of course I would then collaborate with you if anything needs to be
adapted to follow the Debian standards.
I have tried to follow them though, for example using (what I hope is) a
correct directory structure, included a proper man page etc.
A new video has also just been published on YouTube which gives a
feeling for what this application is all about:

Many thanks in advance!

Leon
