Description Stefano Priore 2009-06-24 10:01:22 UTC

Currently app-text/textfilters installs its files in /usr/bin: given their funny nature, wouldn't /usr/games/bin be more appropriate?

I cannot find app-text/textfilters in our tree so I assume you mean app-text/talkfilters instead?

Comment 2 Stefano Priore 2009-06-24 14:29:20 UTC

Yes... lapsus digiti! ;)

meh, I have no opinion. Does the games team?

I think that would be inconsistent with the rest of the tree.  I don't think we have anything else outside the games-* categories that installs under /usr/games.

Also talkfilters although funny are not games. Some code makes me laugh but compilers are not games for sure ;) Also moving them into games will force users to be in games group... So I think it's better not to fix this bug.
