State of the retroarch package
Hello folks, first time posting here. I have a change request I'd like to submit to the retroarch package, it's a simple change, but I'd like to understand why the original decision was made in the first place, in case I'm missing something. To that end, I've also submitted this comment to the package's page itself on OBS: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/Emulators/retroarch#comment-1510367 But I have a feeling the mailing list might be a good place to discuss this as well. I don't think the retroarch-config.patch file is required. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Here's my rationale: I think it would be better for users to be able to download extra cores using RetroArch's built-in online updater, rather than hiding that feature and providing cores as multiple, sometimes outdated packages. Not all cores are available as packages right now, but they may be installed via the Online Updater, but only if the user is smart enough to re-enable it. I think it would be better for us to drop the libretro* packages altogether, and ship a build of RetroArch that focuses on using the Online Updater. We already ship Steam, and people download games through Steam itself, so I don't think the idea of distributing cores via RetroArch's own solution to be a bad one. For my own purposes, I'm maintaining my own build here: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:martinjungblut/retroarch But I'd love for this to be solved, rendering my package obsolete. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated, Thanks in advance
