Except for the game that you have an ebuild for on your page (neverball)
was already added to portage earlier today by Mr_Bones, so a bug would
have been resolved immediately, and both you and gerrynjr would be aware
of it being in portage already.

As I said, it's in portage.  I haven't looked at it myself, but I'm sure
it meets our normal method of using games.eclass.

Everything in app-games is maintained by the entire games group.  We're
small enough that we don't step on each other's toes much.  I don't see
any version of halflife-server lower than 3.1.1.1d in CVS, so that is a
non-issue.  I actually checked this as soon as the security warning was
posted on bugtraq.  Thanks for the heads up, though.  It is greatly
appreciated.
