Scripts: Remove PKGBUILD
I originally provided this an alternative to the broken AUR packages.
However, it seems that Arch users would rather use broken packages and keep complaining to me instead of their packager. I specifically forbid packages for DuckStation (see README.md), and there’s no way to request removal of these packages without handing my details over to a distribution I want nothing to do with.
So this is step one. Next step will be removing Linux support entirely, because I’m sick of the headaches and hacks for an operating system that only compromises 2% of the userbase, and I don’t even use myself. But I’m hoping the Linux community will be reasonable, because as someone giving up my free time and not being compensated in any way, I shouldn’t have to deal with this.
Just grep the source for “wayland” and you’ll see what I mean.
Seems fair to me, this is their ball they made themself and they weren’t having fun anymore so they went home and took it with them. Don’t really see the issue besides some vague entitlement to a fork of their work
They didn’t make it themselves, the project has a not-insignificant amount of contributions from other authors, and the repo owner (possibly illegally) relicensed it such that nobody else can legally fork it.
Aren’t license changes only applicable to forward development? Like if the project was GPL up until state Y, then switches to something else, that license only applies to ∆Y?
Yes. They did the relicensing a year ago, so that’s a decently sized delta.
Just fucking crib it anyways and either play dumb or threaten him to sue. He won’t. IP laws shouldn’t be respected anyways.
Agreed on the first half, it’s unfair to expect someone to continue volunteering their time to work on something if they don’t enjoy it. I don’t understand what you mean by “vague entitlement to a fork of their work” though? It’s not like stenzek has to do any work if someone else forked DuckStation to continue supporting Linux on their own. What people want is the freedom to use, modify, and distribute code for the benefit of everyone. Presumably as a member of this website’s community you are opposed to private property, how is restricting people’s freedom with proprietary code any different?
