gnome-games is already the name of a package that contains all official 
GNOME games. Only a handful are also released and packaged separately.


Useless for us IMHO.

Personally I prefer all the "official" kde package in kde-base - it 
allows me to quickly know that this given package is part of the 
official KDE package set.


I don't see a need for kde-games - it's pretty clear from the 
descriptions which of the kde-base packages are games, and for the 
reason stated above I don't like the idea of mixing "official" and 
"unofficial" packages.


I suspect symlinks are likely to cause issues (what happens if you try 
to install both kde-games/ksudoku and games-puzzle/ksudoku?) and as far 
as I know are never used in the package tree.


Package moves like this are occasionally going to happen, no matter how 
you structure the repository. The only real question here is whether 
this is a package move (in which case, I believe, portage goes through 
and updates /etc/portage/package.*, world and possibly custom sets 
contents automatically) or just a package mask (in which case it's up to 
the user to do all those updates)

Package moved instead now.

Although the kde version is much improved, we can keep it.

+1

Also the games-puzzle one is for kde-3, the kde-base one for kde-4, so
as long as we keep kde-3...
There's also bug 257162 about this already.

Hi !

What kind of background is needed to maintain packages ? Well, I would
like to do more than just writing documentation about Gentoo and
promote its usage.

I'm aramis_qc on Gentoo-Québec (gentoo-quebec.org). I sure am confident
that I can be successful with the help of my friend d2_racing (Sylvain
Alain) who now is a gentoo-dev. 

Best regards,

I was thinking the same thing - this is a stable package, so ideally it 
shouldn't be "replaced" with an unstable one.  Why not keep -0.4 in the

[gentoo-dev] Monthly Gentoo Council Reminder for February

2009-02-01 Thread Mike Frysinger
This is your monthly friendly reminder !  Same bat time (typically
the 2nd Thursday at 2000 UTC / 1600 EST), same bat channel
(#gentoo-council @ irc.freenode.net) !

If you have something you'd wish for us to chat about, maybe even
vote on, let us know !  Simply reply to this e-mail for the whole
Gentoo dev list to see.

Keep in mind that every GLEP *re*submission to the council for review
must first be sent to the gentoo-dev mailing list 7 days (minimum)
before being submitted as an agenda item which itself occurs 7 days
before the meeting.  Simply put, the gentoo-dev mailing list must be
notified at least 14 days before the meeting itself.

For more info on the Gentoo Council, feel free to browse our homepage:
