I see that Linux has two entries in the platform tables. It is listed under UNIX (which is not strictly correct) with the SDL backend and has its own entry with a X11/OSS audio backend. I find this a bit confusing. First is this true there are two different backends that are still supported for Linux? And if this is true, shouldn't the two backends be listed for the Linux entry rather than list Linux twice with two different backend? Or maybe list Linux twice on its own rather than having it once on its own and once with UNIX?

:I rectified the [[Linux]] port page, this should clear things up, I hope. As it stands, I would also opt to change the name from Linux to X11 or something different. -- [[User:Lightkey|Lightkey]] 23:10, 23 June 2011 (UTC) | |||
Should the packagers (does that word exists?) be listed in the "port status" template box for each platform? Currently only the backend maintainer(s) are listed.

: I think it makes a lot of sense, since there are several ports that use the same backends, both backend maintainers and packagers should be credited. I'll add that field. [[User:Jvprat|jvprat]] 19:01, 5 May 2010 (UTC) | |||
Any news about cleaning this page? A way to synchronize both the downloads page and this could be nice. I updated the references to OS/2, as it got an 1.1.1 port :) [[User:Timofonic|Timofonic]] 12:11, 5 May 2010 (UTC) | |||
