To answer that, we have to go back a while. The games team was pretty much formed of two kinds of developers back then. One kind was retired developers, the other kind was developers who did what they cared about and ignored everything and everyone else. Bugs, join requests, complaints, all went ignored and games team kept silent claim to games in gentoo. So the first Council case against games team was that they did not accept any new members. Or rather, silently ignored join requests. They also ignored inquiries wrt the case and the Council. The result was that the Council set up someone external to take care of inviting new members, and electing new team lead afterwards. As it could be predicted, nobody wanted to join, or rather be forced into the team they weren't welcome in. Then the case against policies started. The first abolished myth was games team sole claim to games in gentoo. Where Council pretty much only confirmed that they have no right for that and everyone can maintain game ebuilds without having games team approval or co-maintenance. The remaining cases you already know. During the whole process, I don't recall a single reply from games team member. And in the meantime, they continue their silent routine of doing whatever they care about, and ignoring Council requests. >- -- >Daniel Campbell - Gentoo Developer >OpenPGP Key: 0x1EA055D6 @ hkp://keys.gnupg.net >fpr: AE03 9064 AE00 053C 270C 1DE4 6F7A 9091 1EA0 55D6 >-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- >Version: GnuPG v2 > >iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJWw9ZJAAoJEAEkDpRQOeFwoDcP/2rHwIb1ztpkBOzt0UWh4IYr >fbKHCi+NJ9p5j7alLQyjIarZgYMY5yLvRWaP+pR9PPyjIhAmEGEI1SoGLQC8MhJ2 >fqOUKr+EH2mt8I4U3EGzsLAMA4JXm1yaKmDcFV3RQett4uUD9MWECQUxrLBQ/cME >F0kPaBziIAZM30+jBoplTISNW7n4L4a/S6smcUV0XR7vGL3P67UQiD1zQ2LvF2Ny >Yj4NMk3Z79rYzog0mqNKaSPVR45rEpTPz+BSoxqwt2t117GQP01n3WlKdyOecKuH >KRyJ90pOnmJVRmH3pLYubJwq0mjvv4YYD1HVVWzK5r30kmVbd5rWrwt/RVGnpkGk >EI8CdKuiQwXeWjb+X1Jo0kEhs2e5dKRmPM4z2xHv7YCkkshO/aOC51iP75yLnnZS >8pxp/D61Xdbfbjm8l+0oHJdIJ9qm6Oc5UGohcWU4pk/mTHNutWjKaOAT3D+Rtu7/ >ILCajj5QapXgJUqEZ8YleWD0e/7Ft2AvWaNNgalz4717daIHhk/JBE0WDDv1M3Pe >+KT4pC9zToAZelwOnQGLZLyccbyLpgqrwsYArgsqBV3uTwgYRCTqEbBDZAx2m994 >0RyxIgF201hsGKp6yIS9X2nQEgZwFrM3XWDckydiQhpFi6ZMxbWsdKZJxVOUVOEf >JAF0lamHDp2Em+rjKLU7 >=/tsU >-----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Best regards, Michał Górny (by phone)
