1 Dear all,
2
3 while we have taken a lot of time and called for feedback repeatedly, in the
4 December 2015 meeting the council has decided (among other things, see [1])
5 * that /usr/games and /etc/games should not be used anymore
6 * that games.eclass should not be used anymore
7 * that games.eclass may not provide support for EAPI=6
8
9 This is to announce that starting with the next portage release, repoman will
10 consider games.eclass deprecated and issue a QA warning if it is used in an
11 ebuild.
12
13 For the council,
14 Andreas
