Subject: [bug#75101] [PATCH 0/2] Fix broken Retroarch while respecting FSDG
Date: Wed, 25 Dec 2024 16:29:45 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241225213801.8020-1-wongandj@icloud.com> (raw)
Retroarch's ability to download "cores" (libraries) to userspace was removed
recently because of non-free cores being available. However, I have found a
more sensible solution which enables the free-licensed cores (which make up
the majority of the list) to still be downloaded. All that is needed is for
the entries for nonfree cores in the retroarch-core-info package to be
removed; without these entries, Retroarch cannot download or update the
nonfree cores, and the FSDG are respected while keeping the software usable.
Andrew Wong (2):
gnu: retroarch-core-info: Remove non-free core listings.
gnu: retroarch-minimal: Enable core downloading with limited core
info.
