Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing well
I just wanted to talk about the discussion about my package sm64ex-bin,
I was informed to chat about it on the mailing list so I wanted to make
sure I was in the right place. I will admit the initial issue frustrated
me and felt a little targeted especially when most of my other bin
packages use binaries from my repository but I wanted to discuss the
issue and resolve any allegations of slander that was put on with no
factual evidence to provide when I have been a long time package
developer on the AUR and a longer time developer on Github and Gitlab
which I use now.
It isn't against the rules to compile from source and host the binaries
on your own repository especially if the original repository does not
provide any or doesn't provide them for specific architectures, I wanted
to create a bin package for a project for user to use and enjoy the
project without needing to wait for compiling times especially on
Raspberry pi devices every time while also bundling it with my launch
scripts if needed,. For example NZPortable-bin binaries are provided
from my git repository for the nzportable-bin package but I am
officially supported by the team to do so and it's a bit harsh to
slander me with assumptions that I am a bad actor with no evidence, it's
also pretty rule and a bit insulting to my credibility.
All I ask is to have the ability to re upload my package and continue to
maintain the bin package for sm64ex-bin for all the users who use it
including myself, I am happy to talk about any upstanding issues and fix
any concerns if there is any.
Thank you
Corey Bruce
