Joshua Mason (DFX4509B)How long before DuckStation closes their source entirely?
Nick Bisby@gbryant Because the AUR ships the original unmodified code, along with patches to apply on the user's end, does this mean that it doesn't violate "distribute modified code." It's distributing unmodified code and setting up a user to modify it on their own machine.
I dont have a horse in this race, I'm just intrigued by the technicalities. If anything I super agree that breaking things and then offloading support to upstream is awful (which is one of my debian gripes).
dashI can't begin to tell you how heartbreaking this news is for me, I just love DuckStation, I know the ins-and-outs of the emulator better than the other emulators I get obsessed with. And yet there's this announcement. I just hope that SwanStation can build on what the fork provided and give a nice foundation for the future
its not because Arch but because of the AUR which delivers broken and or outdated packages while an official build exists. Clickbait?
Yupp, sadly his channel is no stranger to clickbaity titles. I guess one can say that the AUR is part of the larger Arch ecosystem, but it definitely feels like a "please click and contradict me"-title.
