Re: [arch-general] [arch-dev-public] steam in our repos?

Supporting packages that meet the conditions for being eligible for moving from AUR surely is a good thing, though?

Not really: those conditions are way too permissive - they would allow, I don't know, like 30% of the AUR to be moved to [community]. They are here to prevent moving blatantly useless packages to our repos, not to be understood as sufficient conditions for moving.

Also, steam is not just any old app. Getting this level of support for gaming on Linux, for the first time, is a big deal.

If you say so. But that does not balance out the legal issues. -- Gaetan
