Any specific reason you don't want to maintain in Factory itself?

same for picard? Actually not, indeed I would even prefer this. So I'll revoke the request and redo for factory. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Sascha Peilicke http://saschpe.wordpress.com

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

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 :)

It does not make sense to me. If we want to offer Games to our distribution users, we should provide them to high quality we offer in Factory. The entry level for packages and their quality in the games repo and openSUSE:Contrib is too low. The only reason of having them not in Factory/openSUSE x.y would be rapid version updates (so several new interesting releases during the lifetime of openSUSE x.y, which would require users to use other repos anyhow. This forking off into dozens repos really has to slow.
