flatdeb - Steam =============== flatdeb is a proof of concept for building Flatpak runtimes and apps from Debian packages. This repository sets it up for Steam. Walkthrough ----------- On a Debian 10 'buster' machine: apt install \ binutils \ debootstrap \ debos \ flatpak \ flatpak-builder \ ostree \ pigz \ python3 \ python3-debian \ python3-gi \ python3-yaml \ systemd-container \ time \ ${NULL} (Or use Debian 9 'stretch' and get flatpak, flatpak-builder and ostree from stretch-backports, and install [fakemachine](https://github.com/go-debos/fakemachine) and [debos](https://github.com/go-debos/debos) from upstream source code.) You will probably want to use a caching proxy such as apt-cacher-ng to download `.deb` packages, which you can do by prefixing all the commands below with `env http_proxy=http://192.168.122.1:3142` or similar. Finally, put exported Ubuntu, Steam Runtime and SteamOS keys in suites/valve-archive-keyring.gpg (0x9E46D8DCD0BBF5AE and 0x7DEEB7438ABDDD96), suites/valve-steam-keyring.gpg (0xF24AEA9FB05498B7) and suites/ubuntu-archive-keyring.gpg (ubuntu-archive-keyring). Then you can run: flatdeb/run.py --suite=scout_beta --arch=amd64,i386 base flatdeb/run.py --suite=scout_beta --arch=i386 base flatdeb/run.py --suite=scout_beta --arch=amd64,i386 runtimes \ runtimes/scout.yaml flatdeb/run.py --suite=scout_beta --arch=i386 runtimes \ runtimes/scout.yaml Depending on the current state of the Steam Runtime development cycle, the `scout` runtime as configured here might require unreleased packages; roll back recent commits if necessary. The `heavy` and `spy` alternative runtimes are under development and the apt sources necessary to build them are not currently public. The "app" stage (which builds Flatpak apps) is not regularly tested but hopefully still works: flatdeb/run.py --arch=amd64,i386 app \ apps/org.debian.packages.mesa_utils.yaml flatdeb/run.py --arch=i386 app \ apps/org.debian.packages.mesa_utils.yaml flatdeb/run.py --arch=amd64,i386 app \ apps/com.valvesoftware.Steam.yaml flatdeb/run.py --arch=i386 app \ apps/com.valvesoftware.Steam.yaml On the host, or a test machine onto which you have copied `$HOME/.cache/flatdeb/repo` with `rsync` or similar: flatpak --user remote-add --no-gpg-verify flatdeb $HOME/.cache/flatdeb/repo flatpak --user install flatdeb org.debian.packages.mesa_utils flatpak run org.debian.packages.mesa_utils flatpak --user install flatdeb com.valvesoftware.Steam flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steam Note that the Steam Flatpak app that is built this way is very much a proof-of-concept, and does not have all the necessary permissions and workarounds for the Steam client and games to work particularly reliably. The [community Steam package on Flathub](https://github.com/flathub/com.valvesoftware.Steam) is likely to work better in practice.
