Subject: [gentoo-dev] gpe-games: new category
Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2009 18:41:54
Message-Id: 4A5CD192.4040702@gentoo.org
1 Hello all,
2
3 I have the following packages that need a home in the portage tree:
4
5 gpe-go
6 gpe-julia
7 gpe-life
8 gpe-lights
9 gpe-othello
10 gpe-tetris
11 gsoko
12 xdemineur
13
14 They are only a few and they won't increase much in the future.
15 For this reason I'm reticent in creating the gpe-games category in the
16 portage tree as we currently have in the overlay.
17
18 However, I find useful for users to have this category created since it
19 would allow them quickly spotting another place for games (these games
20 are targeted to -embedded but work on desktop too) while still providing
21 the information that they belong to GPE.
22
23 Moving each game to the games-xxxx category would be another solution
24 but that would pretty much hide the relation with the GPE Palm Environment.
25
26 There is of course another solution, like moving everything into
27 gpe-base or gpe-utils and STFU.
28
29 So fellow devs, I'm evoking your experience powers to help me with this
30 oh-not-so-important decision.
31
32 PS: Please but please, just don't tell me that adding another category
33 will make a longer "ls -l" output in /usr/portage.
