4 what does the games team think of an official games repository?
5
6 These are some arguments for such a repo:
7 * sunrise does not allow ebuilds when any version is already in the
8 tree (so no live or beta ebuilds for existing in-tree-games), so that
9 is not always a real alternative
10 * easier contribution and reviews
11 * let people contribute proprietary games ebuilds here which cannot be
12 added to the tree, because no dev owns the game
13 * let people contribute alpha/beta/live/experimental ebuilds here
14 * deprecate repositories like "gamerlay" which do not undergo any kind
15 of review and have low quality
16 * some of the work here can directly flow into the tree
17 * less decentralization of games ebuilds when there is a central
18 overlay for contribution and testing
19 * a lot of other herds already practice this workflow with success

22 Yes, overlays suck. But bugzilla as a review platform sucks more and
23 IRC is also not the first place people look for.
