@HurricanePootis, I didn’t mean to duplicate anything, I only found your package after uploading mine. See the provides, conflicts, and replaces in my package; there’s an even stranger approach to packaging this that I was trying to replace, which IMO should definitely be deleted.

I don’t mind having a single pkgbase, so please do split it when you have time. Wine and the dependencies it pulls are quite large, and not every system handles them well, so it would be really nice if it weren’t mandatory.

Also, could you review my PKGBUILD and cherry-pick some of the practices I used? For example, restoring NuGet packages in prepare(), depending on the specific version of .NET, etc. Upstream also names the CLI binary Source2Viewer-CLI. Thanks in advance!

@vitaliikuzhdin I am not going to remove the CLI from this package. I am going to split the package and I have submitted a delete request for your package.

If you wanted a split package, you should've asked for it in the comments.

Could you please remove the CLI from this package? It does not require Wine and should be a standalone package, something like source2viewer-cli.

Is there a reason this package is not named source2viewer-cli? It would be quite difficult to find otherwise. Also, it seems that the standard practice is to depend on dotnet-runtime-9.0 rather than just setting a minimum version requirement.
