Ah, forgot to mention this. That is the process the task force is using to port packages. The package maintainers may want to work differently by fixing all the ebuilds for a given package, because repoman will soon refuse to let you commit anything unless they're all ported. The task force is doing enough to get the tree working for ~arch users and to set an example that package maintainers can port over to the rest of their ebuilds. As you're really more of a package maintainer for the games you're porting, you will probably want to stick with the way you're doing things. Thanks, Donnie
