Hello, one month ago i have started a similar thread on debian-devel-games but haven't got much feedback although at least one team member replied and supported my proposal. [1] My original idea was to track orphaned games, incorporate them into the games team and eventually remove them if nobody is interested in maintaining these games. I think i have identified some candidates and therefore would like to ask the qa-list for advice and whether it makes sense to pursue the idea. I would like to see the following games removed from Debian because they have been orphaned for a long time and are of poor quality (gameplay, graphics, overall impression, no upstream) and will waste developer time in the future because someone has to polish the packages. These games are: * XBattle * XBoinc * shisen.app * stepbill.app * battleball * XChain * XBomb * XTux I suggest to remove them all at once as soon as Wheezy has been released to give people enough time to reintroduce the games for the next stable release, if someone really cares about them but wasn't aware of their current status before. As far as i understand the removal process [2], ftp-masters need some sort of reference for such a decision. I hope this thread gathers enough feedback and can later be considered as such a reference. Regards, Markus [1] https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-games/2012/10/msg00062.html [2] http://wiki.debian.org/ftpmaster_Removals
