Please keep the games bugs in bugzilla.  Making this change is a direct

No one needs permission to put ebuilds from bugs.gentoo.org into an
overylay. The ebuilds, assuming they have the proper header, are all
"Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2".

I do not object to the concept of ebuilds in overlays.

I do very much object to using any gentoo.org infrastructure or subdomains to do so. If someone is going to tackle that, it should be done outside of Gentoo proper. We don't need to be stuck maintaining and supporting a semiofficial overlay.


It is my understanding the the Sunrise overlay is not open to "anyone to commit", so it is not a contrib/ The sunrise project is the owner of the overlay and they are responsible for it's contents. The people commiting are responsible for what they commit. The point of the Sunrise project as I understand it is to aid in the development of ebuilds in maintainer-wanted, such that they may improve and be added to the tree; as well as to give frequent 'not quite a dev' and 'I don't have a bunch of time but would like to help' people a place to commit to.
