* Package name : steam-powered Version : 6 Upstream Author : Michael Gilbert * URL : no website * License : GPL Programming Lang: shell Description : Valve's steam game content delivery system This package is a wrapper that makes it easy to install and run Valve's Steam program via wine. The intent will be for this package to be a part of the contrib archive. A preliminary version of the package has been uploaded to debian-mentors for review and testing, [1]. There has already been some interesting discussion on the mentors list. Please read [2], [3], and [4] to get up to speed. I am looking forward to the discussion and getting this package added to the archive. Steam (www.steampowered.com) is a game content delivery system developed by Valve software (http://www.valvesoftware.com). This is a windows application, which is supported on your Debian system via wine (http://www.winehq.org). Not all steam games work at this time, but many do. Games that work very well include half-life, counter-strike, half-life 2, and counter-strike: source. More information about steam can be found at http://www.steampowered.com.
