For now, this is pinned to the last GPL commit. I haven't decided what to do long term.

Use aur/duckstation-git for the latest changes.

FYI that this project did an "interesting" license change https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1ffml57/playstation_1_emulator_duckstation_developer/

I wrote today to the DuckStation author, after 6 months, and he stated to be completely unwilling to change the license, stating "I am completely put off from open sourcing any of my future work."

PKGBUILD was rewritten from scratch when I took over maintenance of this package, so the purported license does not apply.

Hello,

I'd like to report 'xiota' has violated the GNU Affero General Public License version 3 under which this build recipe had been released by deleting the license, the author and the short copyright notice at this commit.

Good day.

maybe it would be helpful to have separate packages for the last GPL version and the proprietary one going forward. Idk it's just an idea. you could call it duckstation-free or something.

The best PlayStation 1 emulator by far!

Hi, wanted to take a look at duckstation but it does not compile (on my system at least), see logs below.

Dear Marcello,

I have seen once again you have opened an orphan request for a typo.

You wrote "as usual" I broke a package with an upgrade. I see you forgot to mention I am also the person who wrote and published the package in first place.

Oh, and as far as I know the existence of this package may be what has brought upstream to use a standard version scheme, which is very nice if you think about it.

Finally, it's 00:35 of a Sunday.

Regards,

Your dear friend Pellegrino

Dear Marcello, build process completed correctly on my system due to the wayland-protocols dependency deriving from having enabled the headless backend on latest revision being already required by almost anything.

It would be awesome if we had a test suite or a continuous integration system which could prevent heavy mistakes such as 'breaking' from happening.

I remember to have asked you, too, many times but it seems you are indeed very focused on checking update status of single packages with at least one revision working, almost as if you didn't want a general solution to reduce our efforts and issues here.

Or as if you were having troubles dealing with my suggestion for more meaningful contributions.

I must say I am sorry but I've thought the above simply because you never replied to any of those suggestions ever.

I have another question too.

Why are you so obsessed on having all kind of packages working at their latest revision? Your aur helper doesn't let you select any of the available working recipes?

You see, I am asking because the impression is you run something like <aur helper> -Syu every night or so. As a long time aur user I would suggest instead to keep a local aur partial checkout and have that go at your own speed.

Doing that will probably save you a lot of stress. That will also make you able to simply send the upgrades you want to package maintainers to immensely speed up and raise your contributions and their quality.

I think it will also make you experience better social interactions.
