The council simply upheld GLEP 39 - people don't HAVE to work with a project team to work on packages. There is no QA policy that requires any particular package to use any particular eclass, or install its files in any particular directory. FHS compatibility is generally encouraged, but even that has been trending differently in most distros in recent years. Besides, I don't see two "parties" here. I see the games team which for the most part doesn't say anything, and then I see a bunch of individual maintainers who all have various preferences. The way we do games isn't going to change unless somebody steps up and says "hey, I want to run the games team and take it in this direction." You're more than welcome to do that. So far you haven't. So, your repeated protests basically amount to complaining that somebody else isn't doing work the way you'd prefer that they do it. You've made that loud and clear. Now all you need to do is find somebody who actually wants to do the work for you. Don't get me wrong - I don't mind when people point out inconsistency. It is just that when all you do is point it out repeatedly without actually personally doing anything to help change things, it gets a bit old. That is why the Council tends to choose the path of minimal interference. We don't really have the ability to force people to work on things. -- Rich
