Thanks a lot for an invintation! I've long searched for a place to
communicate on free/opensource/just available-for-linux games
packaging, porting and generally keeping alive.

There sure may be some useful patches in FreeBSD ports collection
which other os/distros can benefit from and vice versa. Also there
are some games not yet available in Debian (which I also use,
althrought not as closely as FreeBSD)/other repositories, and FreeBSD
ports could be used as a base or just a collection if hints for
packaging. And vice versa as well, of course.

Mailing to ports@ could be useful too.
