Bug#820644: RFS: libretro-snes9x [ITP]
Hey, question: what is the difference between https://packages.qa.debian.org/s/snes9x.html this package, and libretro-snes9x in this RFS? is it the same package? (not a problem in reintroducing it, but having the same package with a different name is not easily discoverable by end users, I would expect at least a Provides: snes9x line) Nope, it's not the same. That package is the standalone gtk version, It's related to #643595 actually. This libretro package needs a frontend to work, like RetroArch, Phoenix [1], Gnome Games [2] or ZMZ [3]. I think "Provides: snes9x" is not the case, with snes9x or snes9x-gtk the user expects a standalone program.

Hi, fixed the summary (please keep the RFS in cc, otherwise I can easily forget because the package in this topic is already sponsored) >CPPFLAGS is actually for both c and cpp: yep I know >I can avoid "hardening-no-fortify-functions" only if there's a> CPPFLAGS in >the cpp line. sure question: what is the difference between https://packages.qa.debian.org/s/snes9x.html this package, and libretro-snes9x in this RFS? is it the same package? (not a problem in reintroducing it, but having the same package with a different name is not easily discoverable by end users, I would expect at least a Provides: snes9x line) let me know, G.

Ok, they are fixed. Copyright stuff fixed too; libretro folder should be the same license as the core, since libretro.c/cpp is based in the main loop file of the emulators (snes9x.cpp for example). cheers, sergio-br2 On Thu, 2 Jun 2016 17:28:00 +0200 Gianfranco Costamagna wrote: > control: owner -1 ! > control: tags -1 moreinfo > > can you please fix the lintian stuff? > > http://debomatic-amd64.debian.net/distribution#unstable/libretro-snes9x/1.53+git20151206-1/lintian > > specially the copyright stuff. > > G.

HI, libretro/* is under public-domain actually. I purged win32, jma and filter/xbrz stuff. Let me know if there's more stuff to purge from the package. The package is updated. sergio-br2 On 10/05/2016 11:10, James Cowgill wrote: Hi, On Sun, 2016-04-10 at 21:46 -0300, Sérgio Benjamim wrote: Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: wishlist Hey dear mentors!
