These are some arguments for such a repo: * sunrise does not allow ebuilds when any version is already in the tree (so no live or beta ebuilds for existing in-tree-games), so that is not always a real alternative * easier contribution and reviews * let people contribute proprietary games ebuilds here which cannot be added to the tree, because no dev owns the game * let people contribute alpha/beta/live/experimental ebuilds here * deprecate repositories like "gamerlay" which do not undergo any kind of review and have low quality * some of the work here can directly flow into the tree * less decentralization of games ebuilds when there is a central overlay for contribution and testing * a lot of other herds already practice this workflow with success Yes, overlays suck. But bugzilla as a review platform sucks more and IRC is also not the first place people look for. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJSY8f5AAoJEFpvPKfnPDWzM9kH/24YQMcxK75ET8xJKNvd764T XS0Hso0il80OXDHKoypKEW4nbPFum3vLChVQ0OP2fy680oOA/hTIEgw4CVtTV7Ng bfRiEU27JEh/OEVS/87ETpycjSNFKmmo0cDabze5wkdDeaSZD/agIyKJTFyy6HQb AXKdi8O6ZNEDT1XbuOyt/IeTyJuyIRse3IN7t+RnhOS6+bJ4CLlo1GQ+hDzBjzl2 8unNl9BWFE2jeNd7maDVjzQhHEa5zxln/jqQHNIbhO0hsHULaLxRwivre0UMcEb6 fF99gKqNkGDp44ZNuGeHE5tHStzEI87mjX+WV6Yk9jv7ONflo76hvGSaGmOfTrY= =0oVh -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
