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: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1VeSArtfQo Many thanks in advance!
