Fri Aug 29 11:01:03 UTC 2025 - Martin Stibor <martin.von.reichenberg@proton.me>
- Update to latest upstream stable version 1.0.0.84
- Certain fixex for the RPM .SPEC file . . .
- What's new in version 1.0.0.84:
- Build using updated Steam client:
* Client timestamp 1751405894 (2025-07-01)
* Steam Runtime (scout) version 1.0.20250519.130917
* Remove steam-runtime-supervisor from the bootstrap mini-runtime,
no longer required
- Appstream metainfo:
* Add OARS content rating.
Originally from the unofficial Flatpak package, thanks to salarua
- Packaging:
* steam.gpg, steam-key.asc:
Re-export 2048-bit signing key with a stronger self-signature.
This ensures that the apt-secure(8) infrastructure will continue to
treat it as valid in 2026 and beyond.
- steam.gpg, steam-key.asc:
Mark a newly-generated 4096-bit signing key as trusted, starting the
process of key rotation to this new key. We will sign the apt
repository with both keys for a while, giving all users a smooth
upgrade path. The old key can eventually be phased out.
* d/steam-launcher.prerm: Clean up update-notifier snippet before removal
* d/changelog: Correct client timestamp in previous release
* d/control: Depend on xdg-user-dirs, for xdg-user-dir(1).
Steam uses this internally.
* Ensure that steam_latest.deb, etc. are updated during releases
* d/control: Drop obsolete alternative dependencies that were used
for Ubuntu 14.04:
realpath (superseded by coreutils)
libgbm1-lts-xenial (superseded by libgbm1)
The package hasn't been installable on 14.04 since 1.0.0.76.
Since 2025-08-15 the minimum version is Ubuntu 20.04 or Debian 11,
as documented by
<https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/107F-BB20-FB5A-1CE4>,
but we are not making that a hard requirement here until it is
functionally necessary.
- Tests/CI:
* Use Nvidia Tesla 535 driver to test non-default choice on Debian 13
* Use debian/eol Docker images to test Debian 10 and 11

Sat Aug 2 16:17:56 UTC 2025 - Martin Stibor <martin.von.reichenberg@proton.me>
- Omitted `systemctl daemon-reload`, `sysctl -w` and `ulimit -Hn`
commands in favour showing it as a post-installation step where
users can issue them manually - if desired - due to breakage each
time after upgrade using DNF / ZYPPER package managers ...
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Jul 3 23:01:03 UTC 2025 - Martin Stibor <martin.von.reichenberg@proton.me>
- Updated RPM .SPEC file using `Release: 0` to avoid potential conflicts
- Swapped `%post` to `%posttrans` due to failing package upgrades at the
end of (SystemD) transaction . . .
- Minor other adjustments
