Bug#811197: game-data-packager: process plain http/ftp download after Steam/GOG.com

[Alexandre Detiste]

Package: game-data-packager
Version: 43
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

The GOG.com & Steam downloads method are most likely to fail than
the plain HTTP/FTP one: these relies on external tools
that need credentials and may hang at the login phase.
(or you forgot your password that is noted down somewhere)

So the FTP/HTTP downloads, that are mostly about patches
needed to play the games with free engines should only happen
if the GOG/Steam DL succeeded.

$ game-data-packager noahs-ark

downloaded with steamcmd

Please provided password for Steam account xxxxx:
