Hi backports team
there is an interesting idea at Ubuntu brainstorm:
http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/73/
The idea is to create a very fast repository for games that gives
gamers an easy way to test and play the newest versions of their
favorite linux games.
As mentioned in the comments section this overlaps with the idea
of ubuntu backports. But I think backports isn't actually the right
place for these kind of packages, as packports has a review
process that will slow down the release of a new package.
I know this raises some questions regarding security but
I see no difference in offering a repository with precompiled
packages and gamers who will (try to) compile the game anyway
on their own.
What do you think about it?
Chris
