I'm one of the maintainers for the Helion Doom source port, and work directly on the AUR package. However, recently the libstdc++ change broke the build, and now I'm trying to fix it.
Unfortunately, a) the developers require a library that is intended only for that source port, and b) the only way to fix the build would require that library to be built and installed separately from the source port. This ruled out a compound PKGBUILD; The AUR submission guidelines clearly state the following: - Make sure the package you want to upload is *useful*. Will anyone else want to use this package? Is it extremely specialized? If more than a few people would find this package useful, it is appropriate for submission. The AUR and official repositories are intended for packages which install general software and software-related content, including one or more of the following: executable(s); configuration file(s); online or offline documentation for specific software or the Arch Linux distribution as a whole; media intended to be used directly by software. I feel like this package would fall afoul of that, due to only being intended for one program. I am going to submit the new package anyway because the build is broken right now, but I would like to know how I should do this in the future. -Justin Wayland
