Alas, I do not want Gentoo to have anything with this either. Postal² is a proprietary game, so I assume this is proprietary as well. This is a job for abandonware sites. I'm sure several would be sympathetic to this. And of course you can do this privately -- as can anyone else. I don't mean to discourage the efforts to keep orphaned works available. Here, I am merely opposing to Gentoo distributing proprietary software. - -- Alexander berna...@gentoo.org https://secure.plaimi.net/~alexander -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iF4EAREIAAYFAlPG0V8ACgkQRtClrXBQc7WiHwD5AdfSOJRkzIM7C5Xdpcy+mt3u JUdu2xShesuVht5xxw4A/j2CNmVSFwIwhsUjL7uXzQ+VYIKjQEELDTliBwHPBWwR =ISZA -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
