byuu's original site is no longer available. :(
In its place is a Markdown-based rendition of the core site content.
The file server no longer seems to be available, which means the
original dowloads for amethyst are all but gone. The site doesn't
appear in the Wayback Machine either. I didn't try looking at Google's
Web Cache or similar services, but those are likely temporary anyway.
Luckily, I had a copy of amethyst in a Git repository, which I have
made public and pointed this package to.
This repository contains license files, so the LICENSE file in this
package has been removed and all references in the PKGBUILD have also
been removed. I have also removed references to the .install file as,
according to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD#source this
should not be listed.
With a new way of downloading the code comes new ways of navigating
and patching said code. Namely the previous tarball did not have a
containing directory, whereas this one does. This means adjusting the
'cd' commands and patching the top-level directory (-p0) instead of
one directory down (-p1).
We also need to add the build directories manually. The original
tarball contained these as empty directories, but these could not be
pushed to the Git repository.

amethyst errors out if it is launched on Wayland, so I added
instructions to the package to tell the user that GDK_BACKEND needs to
be set to x11 in the environment. The desktop entry does this by
default now, too.

amethyst uses the hiro UI abstraction library also used in higan, bsnes
etc. hiro supports GTK+3, but with a significant problem - many (not
all, but some) of the theme colours specified in settings.bml are
overridden by any CSS theme you have installed on your system (Adwaita,
Breeze, etc.). All of the APIs that hiro uses to perform colour
adjustment are from GTK+2, and are now deprecated. The proper solution
to this is to revamp hiro to use CSS for colour theming rather than the
outdated API. But this is something that should be done in a fork of
hiro so that the fix can be pulled into higan and bsnes as well. So for
now, I just comment out the calls to hiro's setBackgroundColor() and
setForegroundColor() functions, so that all UI widgets just use the
system CSS theme.

I'm not sure if this functionality was present in v3.2 or if it's a new
thing with v3.3, but amethyst can now be built using GTK+3 by passing
the argument "hiro=gtk3" to make. So we do that here.
This has the side effect of removing all compiler warnings from the
previous commit, as we are no longer using any deprecated APIs!
However, it does cause some theme issues to occur. When no file is
open, the panel where the source editor would be becomes the system
theme's background colour rather than the one configured in
settings.bml. The same occurs in the unoccupied space in the file tree
panel. I'll see if I can fix this with a patch shortly.

The release patch needed to be updated as the location of the "prefix"
setting in nall/GNUmakefile had changed.
I also updated the project URL, and the timestamps in the patch file
were also updated.

This allows pacman to create pacnew/pacsave files should the user choose to
modify their configuration and wish to keep it between package
upgrades/removals.
