It would be useful, but it would be impossible to do without imposing a
subjective judgement on the games.

So far we've tried to keep subjective tags out of the main debtags
archive, as they would be impossible to maintain for the Debtags team.

However, one could make a separate pkg-games-devel tag source with the
preferences of the pkg-games-devel group, then add it to
/etc/debtags/sources.list and debtags will merge everything together.

Try this for example:

  /webspace/tags/vocabulary.gz

    Facet: game-quality
    Description: Quality evaluation of the game

    Tag: game-quality::complete
    Description: Complete
     The game is ready for prime time: fully playable, with polished
     graphics, sounds and music.

    Tag: game-quality::engine-only
    Description: Engine only
     The game engine is working, but graphics, sounds and music are
     still work in progress.
     
  /webspace/tags/tags-current.gz

    wesnoth: game-quality::complete
    chromium: game-quality::complete
    craft: game-quality: engine-only

Then you add this to /etc/debtags/sources.list:

tags http://address-of-that-webspace/tags/

run debtags update and then you can do:

  debtags search 'game::arcade && game-quality::complete'


Ciao,

Enrico
