Hi, I'm sending you this mail because as far as I know you're maintaining a number of games for Ubuntu in http://www.getdeb.net/
Some of us, people from most of Linux distributions, BSD systems and some games upstreams have decided to join efforts and work together to reduce duplicated work. For coordinating we have set up a distro-agnostic mailing list [1], as well as the wiki facilities of the Freedesktop project [2] As Games are somewhat special in that they in general need more patches than usual packages and that they often have a dead upstream, we plan to discuss some ways there to try and collaborate more. We will start defining requirements and possible layouts for below-upstream repositories, soon. We can then pull some games from there and get a common, patched version. Patches and changes that are specific for each system would be applied later by every distribution in their local repositories via the same process that every one is following right now. For an starter's introduction on this project, feel free to have a look at [3]. Greetings, Miry PS: I do apologize if you think this is spam. I'm sending it in the serious belief that you might be interested in knowing about the project, and maybe joining us. PS2: Feel free to forward this email to whoever you think might be interested in your team, or outside from it.
