gaming-sources was introduced to help push the gaming livecd project iirc well that project has gone under long ago and we are left with a kernel that is outdated, unmaintained, and well, was never really that great for gaming anyways ;) unless i missed something i think the package should get punted so we can focus on other kernel trees that need maintainership (like gentoo)
I agree. As I recently said on IRC, I'm willing to pay anyone who can get gaming-sources to compile ;) Anyway, its basically just the ck patches plus some other stuff on a very old kernel, it would be best to persuade any users to switch to ck-sources.
I agree too. If no big objections happen, I'll delete it next Wed. Or sooner if people want me to :)
i think you can remove them very easily. i never understood why we really needed these even in the days where there was no 2.6... (although spanky is right as to why they came about) i'd vote for sooner... rather than later. Jay
Ok, it's now gone.
I do not know, I had no problems with gaming-sources, with the exception of hsflinmodem.
for what its worth gaming sources originally used a broken version of -ck that didnt prioritize correctly, this made it a good gaming kernel (proven with many gaming livecd benchmarks), but a terrible desktop kernel.. Then ppl decided newer was better.... :)
