No, games@ is not obliged to do investigation > instead of you. In fact, there's no games@ team as such. That is absolute bull****. If a member of games@ revives a port under the games@ maintainership, you bet that he and the entire games@ team is responsible for ensuring the port is valid *BEFORE* resurrecting it. Not checking it was bad. Not checking it after multiple people objected immediately to the revival of the port on the basis of it's possible invalidity is indefensible. Ruslan is obligated to do it, and since he's refusing to, it becomes games@ teams obligation to do it. If you think it's not, then I'd like games@ to stop picking up unmaintained ports because it's not helping at all. Seriously, thanks. John
