Re: list of orphaned / RFA games
Uwe, et al,
Let me back up here a little. I cannot speak for the entire games team
and probably already overstep my bounds since I'm not a DD or anything
else. (Which goes back a little to the Uploaders policy thread).
Personally, if the team agrees, I'd be happy to inject ALL of the
orphaned games into our repo.
I struggle with (and I have asked the QA folks the same question): What
IS the criteria for package removal?
If the packages has bugs and is dead upstream, who's responsibility is
it? To me (and I'm probably wrong here) a distribution is not
responsible for upstream development. Take amphetamine as an example.
I e-mailed the original author and he has no interest in it any longer.
I haven't heard back yet from the person that was supposed to have
picked up maintenance of it. I can't even find a good source for the
original tarball.
Thanks!
Barry deFreese
