Specifically, at least one "free" package of homebrew games, utilities, etc. that are free to use and have made their 'source' available. I could also explore the option of making a "non-free" package of abandonware or authors allowing their work to be packaged without source.
Anyways, before I get started on this trek, I'd like to know what other Linux users think about having RPM(s) available to contribute their work to or to make use of them from their RPM-based distro (like Fedora), i.e.,
$ yum install vice
$ yum install vice-games-c64
$ yum install vice-games-pet
$ yum install vice-games-vic20
I would make certain that each program came with an icon that could then be launched from the Gnome menu, ala, Applications -> Games -> Emulators -> VIC 20 -> ...
