Hey Jason. I posted to both developer and user lists because developers
have typically been interested in following the development of the game
for their respective distros, and end users of the distros have been
interested because they want to play it.

Actually I am referring to the game itself, not gNewSense. I am aware
gNewSense already runs on mipsel. I meant the game will have a mipsel
port which, naturally, will be packaged for gNewSense since it is the
easiest to use distro available for that architecture that I know of.
