[Fwd: Purging the orphans]

[Rahul Sundaram]

Hi,

There are a few games in here that people might want to help maintain.

8Kingdoms is not maintained upstream anymore, and has problems that
cause it to crash often.  It's probably best left orphaned.

I wonder why SDL_image is in this list.  I think there are quite a few
packages (including games) that depend on it.

One reply later, Jesse had a real list after correcting some errors in 
the first script.

Message Attached.

I had SDL_image for a while on livna, then hans took it over and
patched it to be submitted to Fedora.  If Hans is too busy to maintain
this package, I can take it.
