Thanks I was not aware of that option.

Right, so I just checked and the commander genius fork is actually
already packaged on flathub, so I believe that for users who want
to play the old commander keen games natively (rather then under
dosbox) getting commander genius from flathub is the best solution.

Given this I have just retired clonekeen for F41+. If anyone is still
interested in creating a rpm package of commander genius as a replacement
my offer to review that still stands. But IMHO for end user applications
like this flathub is the way to go rather then duplicating the packaging
work in many distros.

Regards,

Hans
