Arch Linux User Repository

There are no plans for me to release a non-git version.

A proper binary Arch package would be nice, but it's beyond what the aur can offer. If these packages get enough votes, they might get adopted into community, and then that package will be a binary one.

There is a -git and a -release-git versions of the vegastrike (which contains all the game data) and the vegastrike-engine (for the engine) package.

Now that 0.8.0 has been released, do you have any plans to package it as a non -git package?

Well spotted. The updated PKGBUILD will be available soon.

packaging can be fixed with this patch:

This fails during package():

Yes, please comment that out. I'm making a fresh PKGBUILD that will not have the issue. That patch was for an alternate login screen, which has not been merged into main.

Comment out the patch command in the PKGBUILD. That seems to work for me.
