Description: please add a 'crawl' to Contrib
Any specific reason you don't want to maintain in Factory itself?
The Factory request was declined, coolo said games are dropped from Factory and should stay in the Games repo instead. So shall I leave it there? So far I haven't been able to find any docs regarding this decision. I haven't said they should stay there - I only meant to say that it's against
the trend for factory games. The real reason to decline it was that you didn't follow the rules for new factory packages:

From my view, I think collecting the games solely in the games repo and not having them cluttered in Factory / Contrib / <other repos> makes sense (of course with exceptions, well established ones should stay).
The big advantage of the games repo over Contrib and Factory is that it does not have a version freeze after releases. Whereas games in Factory / Contrib are 'stuck' to their versions during the life time of the product, we are not bound to this in the games repo. We can offer the newest version to any user at any time. And adding the games repo is simple enough, using Community Repos. It's been listed there for a long time. And Pavol's 'Game Store' might possibly boost that a bit more :) Dominique -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-contrib+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-contrib+help@opensuse.org
