18 I don't intend to write another games eclass, I'd rather be interested
19 in removing it altogether. This is just an intermediate solution IMO,
20 for people who don't care about those permissions.
21
22 If you look at the eclass, then it doesn't do much actual stuff, except for:
23 * applying games permissions
24 * installing files in non-standard locations
25
26 So, games-r1.eclass would basically be empty.
