Message-ID: <87fustalcn.fsf@T420.taylan> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1249 bytes --]
Some things to note about this package & questions:
- There's no official VCS repo and the author doesn't want automated
tools to download files from his homepage; there's an unofficial git
repo at GitLab but I found it unsuitable so I'm hosting the sources
specifically for Guix at GitHub now:
https://github.com/TaylanUB/higan
Is this OK, or is there a place we can upload the original source
bundle for Guix to download from?
- I forgot if there's a guideline for this: the release versions are
called 'v097', 'v098' etc. with always a 'v' in front. Should that
'v' appear in the version field of the package or should it be
stripped?
- As seems to be tradition among emulator developers, the build system
and the program's handling of the file system are a big pile of poo,
so:
* Is it principally OK to reuse the standard `build' and `install'
phase procedures a second time, just with the CWD changed, as I do
here?
* The program insists on looking in ~/.local/share for some data files
that are actually installed in $prefix/share; does my strategy here
look OK, in that I wrap the executable to copy the data files into
~/.local/share every time the program is run?
Thank you!
Taylan
