While packaging I found some minor things that might be useful:
make a release (git tag)
so I don't have to package a random snapshot
read the gamedata (folder media/) from a systemwide installation path
and not only from ./media/ relative to the binary location
I actually workaround that issue with an ugly wrapper script
provide a .desktop file
so Linux users have a nice entry in their app-menu.
provide a game icons (ideally in a scalable SVG)
the .ico file is not ideal
I agree with him that some additional work should be put in to make packaging easier. I'd say the following actions should be taken:
[x] Allow setting the location for assets when building
[x] Make a release
The desktop file and icon he mentions would be nice as well, but slightly less mandatory.
I was contacted by email by the creator of a Freegemas package for OpenSUSE, which can be found here: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:mnhauke:games/freegemas
