I really like the idea to have such page, however i think each example should be fleshed out a bit with exaplanation which points towards the quirks which were needed to package the software.

e.g. for minecraft we patchelf the binaries because there is no source code and finally use makeWrapper to add all the required binaries in the PATH and add the required libraries via LD_LIBRARY_PATH. there is also some googleapps wrapper stuff going on which is just above my knowledge why this is necessary in first place --Makefu (talk) 12:27, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
