What would be required to revive the games project? One of the reasons I became a dev was to help out the games team, and if it's defunct, I want to see what's necessary to fix it. I'm still a new dev (May 2015), but I wouldn't mind doing some dirty work if it means we can put squabbles like this behind us and get enough devs together to give game ebuilds the attention they deserve. I don't have a lot of free time, but sitting here discussing stuff isn't fixing anything, either... If I can spend what little Gentoo time I have on fixing things, I'd be glad to. - -- Daniel Campbell - Gentoo Developer OpenPGP Key: 0x1EA055D6 @ hkp://keys.gnupg.net fpr: AE03 9064 AE00 053C 270C 1DE4 6F7A 9091 1EA0 55D6 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJV138OAAoJEAEkDpRQOeFwSbAP/jBciQLb6oHqNyiXUEIyEWtq ja1arNrRtgLq3x6invviwB+AilkFPAcyVHGJkrwDxRPN0Ykt/VZ3Raf3BF4asCM8 zRTwEJHGvf+JsShMM5dujqdArhfoGNuRjdCNY8QfveVzBBDGtWLM6zGA/rhc/jDG 0OkLkaFiTSx6qy9aEDoj+PfBSpZcEdNSWx3zxthrWbnFO3qD6hgy8PUizwsRM2+t PKvD6t6uaraql15+dcFGosiT9KgwjvONvEHaH12T8n73VR3xgbYFo1zM44LbQ8kH h90zjOU7rKKy6Pplbqvz6rlWpytOq5+KrLuikYnd4wcmLxYEq/NWzsStOVUNq1Vn IeUyxTjxRgpHvdlNgxiqgVpbAGxR7uR0DM1Ayj7K0ow1b2jRu+/A6XLn7spV+f3Z fPA0Kz/FO7lEaOn561ENdBd6QUAYf5zpNlOVyD+GSWGUWsCp3fwqfZc/xSXetzCL TyYJlcvpEFcwzUSxactkVqCLIAaxubxna0SnNclBVoIrocvOk9MF7ayCXHNRX2uC nW01Ye50x1WsHflzLyHEVZrh6uaovhBqqvAwkD0+FW4jeJnO5fTfkHzcB8egqk78 0K5K5u25cuGpteVIzvFdudxEEm9Owf5NdZkdrX5ay61HSB4QmOfHRmnbJk1xOj+u wFjThVYPKxIyASR6uhun =FlQB -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
