Description Fab 2021-09-22 19:26:27 UTC
Unofficial builds of 0.6.13 version does not include Microsoft account support.

When building current 0.6.13 version from portage tree, adding microsoft account is currently not possible ⁽¹⁾.

However it is possible to build microsoft support, but in this case branding should be removed :
> If you want to build microsoft support yourself
> see https://github.com/MultiMC/MultiMC5/blob/develop/notsecrets/Secrets.cpp
> (also note that to comply with the license you need to remove the branding from custom builds)

Please provide microsoft support into current current multimc ebuild, or please provide a new multimc-bin ebuild with official build. Thank you :)

It seems that I accidentally hitted a very hot topic ⁽¹⁾.
-bin ebuild would be very fine to me ^^

From the link in the previous comment :

> 'MultiMC' comes from multimc.org. Period. Any other source may not distribute 'MultiMC'.

> The only exception is a wrapper that gets you the unchanged binaries
> that are capable of automatic updates from multimc.org and are not tampered with.

> If you do not like that, do a clean fork. Change the name. Run your own infrastructure.
> Accept the necessary terms of use for the MS Identity Platform in your own name.

    games-action/multimc-bin: add -bin version
    
    Because of secret API keys to access MS authentication servers
    we need a -bin version for full functionality.
    We also keep the non-bin versions for users who e.g. wish to apply patches

What a mess.... (I'll omit the rant about how MS ruins all good things)

Anyway, I added a -bin version, and things should be working now.

I'll keep the non-bin version around for users who wish to compile from source or apply patches and things like that (and have not yet migrated to MS accounts). The -bin and non-bin version can be installed simultaneously. 

Enjoy!
