Funny enough, I kinda agree with both of you. I am currently working through the *enormous* number of packages in games-* but with the release forthcoming and also very busy. Any help here would be appreciated. I would hope to get as much of this done as possible *before* the packages go into ~arch, rather than after. > It's my earnest hope that this proposal makes everyone happy, because I > refuse to let modular X get old and rusty in package.mask while hundreds > of unmaintained (or undermaintained, for whatever reason) applications > hold it back. In our case, it is simply sheer numbers. We have a small group responsible for a large number of packages. We are definitely agreeable to getting some help with this, as we don't want to be the cause of holding back modular X in any way. --=20 Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead x86 Architecture Team Games - Developer Gentoo Linux --=-WLVHBLoGQRiDFZzl9rDB Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBD1lASkT4lNIS36YERApnrAJ40WpQCybSPz4uADNlecFiQyJ25iwCdET50 45zYGSA5nO5vGT4Eh/2gxqw= =qdV8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-WLVHBLoGQRiDFZzl9rDB-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
