This sounds like a good solution. Here is a diff updating games/jag to 0.3.7, released on May 8, 2020. I attached it because patches that were removed have DOS line endings. New patches use post-extract to delete DOS line endings. Changelog: https://gitlab.com/coringao/jag/-/blob/0.3.7/CHANGELOG This diff: - Sets PERMIT_PACKAGE to no as suggested by stsp@ and sthen@. Themes are restrictively licensed so do not build package until it is cleared up. https://gitlab.com/coringao/jag/-/issues/1 - Moves to new upstream that Debian uses. Old upstream has stopped development. https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/jag - Moves HOMEPAGE and MASTER_SITES to new upstream to address thfr@'s bug report about defunct HOMEPAGE in the README https://gitlab.com/coringao/jag/-/issues/2 - Moves to qt5 which was supported since version 0.3.3 - Builds jag-editor in addition to jag. jag-editor is a level editor. - Many patched files were moved into src - Delete DOS-line endings in post-extract, as pulled from print/scribus. - README lists Qt5 Xml as a requirement, but `make port-lib-depends-check' reports this as an extra WANTLIB. Extra: Qt5Xml.3 I chose to not include Qt5Xml in WANTLIB. I played jag and changed languages. I tested jag-editor by building a level pack and was able to play my level. Feedback and tests are welcome.
