games-menus feedback wanted

HI all,

I've been working hard on getting game submenus realised, as
atleast 2 people 
here wanted them (Tibbs and Wart), and I must say that I'm a
bit disappointed 
about the lack of feedback.

So please do a:
rpm -ivh http://people.atrpms.net/~hdegoede/games-menu
s-0.2-1.fc7.noarch.rpm

Click on your menu goto games and enjoy. Also we should
start fixing our 
packages for games which show up in a strange place and
start filing bugs 
against other peoples packages, again for more info on how
to properly use the 
Categories field see:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora
-games-list/2007-March/msg00003.html

Thanks & Regards,

Hans

That's very nice.  I like the layout.

Sorry I didn't participate, I was down with a cold and away
from email.  I
had over 600 when I got back, just now getting through it.

Erm, well, it must have been nearly a year since I last
thought about
it, and at the moment I'm knee deep in core merge reviews
and expect
to stay that way for quite some time.

I'm still at FC5 on the desktop; any chance that your
package will
work there?

Sortoff, you will get the submenus, but all games will also
still be in the 
main menu. This is a redhat-menus bug which is fixed in an
FC-6 update (after a 
  BZ entry by me).

Hans

Yes good question, I need to fix trackballs too, I gess
logic and 
puzzles is the best choice, shall we put both of them
(trackballs and 
neverball) there?

Arcade is very crowded, so I would say action. My rule kinda
is:
If it isn't a straight forward clone of an arcade game ->
action.

The mean reason for this is because for a while I've focused
on 
packaging true arcade clones and even with games-menus
installed my 
arcade menu has scroll arrows (I still need to recategorize
some 
packages, hopefully that will help).

Regards,

Hans

You did a very good job, kudos. Sorry, been busy but I
rebuilt the srpn
and it installed without a hitch. I like the various
categories and all
the games that I have installed found their way to their
appropriate
slots. Again, it worked nicely and has function. Ric
