@dwarf1977, I’ve asked about this downstream:

At [`discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/158051`](https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/would-packaging-unreal-engine-be-possible/158051). \[1\]

For _openSUSE TW_, at [`forums.opensuse.org/t/186398`](https://forums.opensuse.org/t/would-packaging-unreal-engine-be-possible/186398). \[1:1\]

A PPA? If so, when Launchpad transfers to Git, that’ll be more feasible.

In effect, that’s what they already provide. It’s merely based upon Ubuntu where need dictates, but otherwise portable.

Better to utilise Flatpak. Like Snap and AppImage, it’s cross-platform, but significantly more adherent to the host’s configurations, and debuggable:
