It seems to me that organizing repositories based on their origin is more useful since it would avoid confusion about where to keep them; it will avoid having to reshuffle packages into new repositories; and users can search for packages by keywords anyway so there shouldn't be any problem to have games located in different repositories. 2) Maintain repositories based on packages themes. The only advantage I can think of to creating a "games" repository is that a user not interested in games at all could exclude it from their pacman file. - Paul _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.parabolagnulinux.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
