Hi all,
I am sending to this list people involved with Slackware told me this is the best place to send it. You might not find this email interesting, for which I want to apologize. Please just disregard it, in that case. The Debian and Ubuntu games teams have merged completely and the Fedora team has been working more and more with us to reduce duplicated work. We have been using the Debian games mailing list until now, but we decided that a distro-agnostic list would be better. Gentoo, SuSE, FreeBSD and NetBSD are starting to hop on board and the more the merrier :) As Games are somewhat special in that they in general need more patches than usual packages and that they often have a dead upstream, we plan to discuss some ways there to try and collaborate more. We will start defining requirements and possible layouts for below-upstream repositories, soon. You could then pull from there and get a common, patched version. ports-specific patches would be applied in your local repositories via your existing processes. I hope I managed to interest a few of you and hope to see you on [EMAIL PROTECTED] [1] soon. For an introduction, read Miry's email [2] and mine [3]. Richard PS: I do apologize if you think this is spam. I simply did not find any better way to contact you all.
