Ubuntu 16.04 is the minimum version since steam-launcher 1.0.0.76. Signed-off-by: Simon McVittie <[email protected]>
Adding and updating detailed documentation in this repository is inconvenient, because for historical reasons its git history contains large binaries, which cannot be removed without invalidating branches and forks of the repository. Each branch of the Steam Runtime has its own SDK hosted elsewhere, so link to those as the primary thing to use. Signed-off-by: Simon McVittie <[email protected]>
Either one should usually work equally well. Resolves: ValveSoftware#739 Signed-off-by: Simon McVittie <[email protected]>
- Native sniper games are now recommended - Legacy scout games now run in SLR 1.0 by default - Legacy scout games can be told to run in the legacy LDLP runtime Signed-off-by: Simon McVittie <[email protected]>
We never updated this when Proton 8 switched to sniper. Do so now. Signed-off-by: Simon McVittie <[email protected]>
The official SDK container images are normally preferable to accessing the apt repositories directly, and they contain the apt repositories as preconfigured apt sources. Signed-off-by: Simon McVittie <[email protected]>
Some of the scripts in this repository are still necessary when used internally (in particular, we still use `build-runtime.py` to build official scout releases), but third-party developers shouldn't normally need to run them, and they are not the same scripts that we use to build the container-based runtimes.

We no longer build or use Steam Runtime 1½ heavy'. Signed-off-by: Simon McVittie <[email protected]>

README: Ubuntu 14.04 no longer works, mention 16.04 instead
Ubuntu 16.04 is the minimum version since steam-launcher 1.0.0.76.
README: Link to Steam Runtime SDK docs instead of repeating ourselves
Adding and updating detailed documentation in this repository is
inconvenient, because for historical reasons its git history contains
large binaries, which cannot be removed without invalidating branches
and forks of the repository.
Each branch of the Steam Runtime has its own SDK hosted elsewhere,
so link to those as the primary thing to use.
README: Mention Distrobox as an alternative to Toolbx
Either one should usually work equally well.
Resolves: Add setup documentation for distrobox #739
Update introduction to reflect reality as of early 2025
Update introduction to reflect Proton status in early 2025
We never updated this when Proton 8 switched to sniper. Do so now.
README: De-emphasize the apt repositories
The official SDK container images are normally preferable to accessing
the apt repositories directly, and they contain the apt repositories
as preconfigured apt sources.
README: De-emphasize the scripts in this repository
Some of the scripts in this repository are still necessary when used
internally (in particular, we still use
build-runtime.pyto buildofficial scout releases), but third-party developers shouldn't normally
need to run them, and they are not the same scripts that we use to build
the container-based runtimes.
Resolves: flatdeb-steam documentation to build sniper is out of date #737
build-runtime.py: Remove references to heavy
We no longer build or use Steam Runtime 1½ 'heavy'.
build-runtime: Make it clearer that this is not used for sniper, etc.
Resolves: flatdeb-steam documentation to build sniper is out of date #737
