Yabause is placed in util, Desmume in games. There are other emulators (visualboyadvance, gnuboy, zsnes, snes9x and others), placed either in games or otherosfs. In my understanding otherosfs should be used for tools that are used for reading or manipulating filesystems of other OS (like dosfstools and mtools) - that isn't done by emulators directly (or at least the user doesn't see how that happens). Additionally pabs mentions that qemu/virtualbox is in misc. I'd like to hear what you are thinking: games? utils? misc? otherosfs? My favorite is utils, but it'll change if you can tell me why :) Regards Evgeni -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
