check for installed libs on every install/update/lauch/verify step of a game #523

currently we are checking for installed libraries once a game is going to be installed.

We should change this behaviour in this way:

showing a info message with not installed libraries at installation (we could offer a installation via the package manager maybe)
checking for installed libraries everytime a game is launched.
remove unneeded installed tool libraries

I suggest to use http://www.packagekit.org to install missing libraries.

karolherbst commented 11 years ago

looks nice, but we have to find the package with the given file, but I think this should be possible. Of course gentoo needs an own interface so I want to see this develop against a plugin API I want to implement

Mailaender commented 11 years ago

RPM just needs to know the library and .so name to find the right package.

karolherbst commented 11 years ago

we have only the .so name
