> Some of us, people from most of Linux distributions, BSD systems and some
> games upstreams have decided to join efforts and work together to reduce
> duplicated work. For coordinating we have set up a distro-agnostic mailing
> list [1], as well as the wiki facilities of the Freedesktop project [2]
> 
> As Games are somewhat special in that they in general need more patches
> than usual packages and that they often have a dead upstream, we plan to
> discuss some ways there to try and collaborate more.
> 
> We will start defining requirements and possible layouts for
> below-upstream repositories, soon. We can then pull some games from there
> and get a common, patched version.
> 
> Patches and changes that are specific for each system would be applied later
> by every distribution in their local repositories via the same process that
> every one is following right now.
