See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingGuidelines and look for the section about emulators. Looking at the information surrounding this particular emulator, it seems to be questionable. Although there are binary images freely available, it sounds like the primary use for this software lies with images that are not licensed freely. This would generally disqualify it from inclusion in Extras. I would strongly encourage that the issue see further review before this package is permitted into Extras. The decision made with regard to this package would be setting the example for programs such as ZSNES. Although I am not one to make the call, I would expect that these sorts of packages would be avoided with Extras. Livna would probably be more accepting of these sorts of programs. -- Patrick "The N-Man" Barnes nman64 n-man com www.n-man.com --
