Funny enough, I kinda agree with both of you. I am currently working through the *enormous* number of packages in games-* but with the release forthcoming and also very busy. Any help here would be appreciated. I would hope to get as much of this done as possible *before* the packages go into ~arch, rather than after. > It's my earnest hope that this proposal makes everyone happy, because I > refuse to let modular X get old and rusty in package.mask while hundreds > of unmaintained (or undermaintained, for whatever reason) applications > hold it back. In our case, it is simply sheer numbers. We have a small group responsible for a large number of packages. We are definitely agreeable to getting some help with this, as we don't want to be the cause of holding back modular X in any way. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead x86 Architecture Team Games - Developer Gentoo Linux
