People who primarily play online are adamant that we update a stable release. People who primarily play solo are adamant that we do not update a stable release. I happen to primarily play solo, and I'm running a local build of 1.8, so that's no help. :) Unless I hear a great deal of wailing and gnashing of teeth in the next few days, I'll probably proceed with Project Bruno. I'd also like to hear from wtogami, the co-maintainer, but I've not heard from him since he changed jobs, though I have his new email. -J -- in your fear, seek only peace in your fear, seek only love -d. bowie _______________________________________________ games mailing list games@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/games
