I know that you are currently working on a binary installer, but for those of us who run distros that favor source packages (Gentoo) or that can at least build a package manager specific binary from source (Arch), will Desura be at all accommodating? It's a lot easier (read less tedious) for some to take the source package and turn it into a package manager specific binary than it is to "reverse engineer" say a .rpm or .deb to try and grab the source out of it and then recompile/repackage.
Also, is there any specific reason to build only for x86? I'd think it would be easier to just build it on a 64bit system and have the option to run two build scripts (since 32bit is generally compiled on 64bit first) thus allowing for easier catering to 2 architectures instead of one. Most gamers are running modern hardware, even if we do prefer Linux.
Thanks for the blog update, it's nice to see progress from a company taking my preferred platform/OS seriously :)
