I do feel like a prude for saying it, but I was pretty taken aback when I saw this in the repository for the first time. But, I can respect that Debian has one of the largest repos of any gnu/linux distribution, and I think that it is Debian's job to have as many stable packages to offer users as possible - not to filter out what some people may find inappropriate or inferior (if that were the case - the KDE/GNOME debates and browser flame wars would have destroyed us). That said, I can't say I have much respect for those who wrote, ported, package, or play this game. It's just dumb. So I don't like it it, but I don't think it should be removed from the repositories. Good sysadmins will make sure not to install something like this on a work or family machine, which is easy enough (the way apt* and any package manager works, the sysadmin must manually and specifically select such a package). And I don't expect Debian will start pushing dopewars down the throats of those who don't want it any sooner than they push IceWeasel on Konqi fanboys or Blackbox on the Fluxbox fanboys. - -- Matthew K Poer -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHxrvlkRdiiE3QqaYRAlYcAJ4x8snfks7K5dJkZy4kNSHiUVzGLACfT1NA qANJqsYyvlSvJP7Ye5rijR4= =Qi7s -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
