Description Alexander Berntsen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-03-25 10:18:46 UTC
http://sdlemu.ngemu.com/basdl.php is down.
Comment 1 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2014-04-15 12:30:05 UTC
SRC_URI fails with a size mismatch:

!!! Fetched file: BoyCottAdvance-SDL-0.2.8R1.i386.linux.tar.gz VERIFY FAILED!
!!! Reason: Filesize does not match recorded size
!!! Got:      101822
!!! Expected: 454122

docs/README.TXT says:
BoyCott Advance/SDL is released as freeware. Because of the author's wishes, no source will be made available (so don't request this!) but in time you can find portions from the source available in SDLEmu's other project : Cygne/SDL.

If sent an e-mail to sdlemu@ngemu.com, asking for clarification if redistribution of the tarball is allowed.

Interesting, README.TXT lists these authors:

   SDL Version:
   Carwyn Jones,   turok2@currantbun.com
   Lu_zero,        lu_zero@psxfanatics.com
   Niels Wagenaar, sdlemu@ngemu.com

Comment 5 Luca Barbato gentoo-dev 2014-05-11 11:16:14 UTC
Yes, but I really did contribute a small bit and I do not have access to the sources anymore, please treeclean it.

Games team, any objections to removal of this package?
Comment 7 Julian Ospald 2014-05-11 11:38:18 UTC
we have enough gba emulators I think... e.g. gambatte or vbam
Comment 8 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2014-05-17 09:03:41 UTC
I see no objections. (In reply to Ulrich Müller from comment #6)

I don't see any, therefore package masked for removal. I'll send last rites tomorrow.
Comment 9 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2014-06-17 06:29:21 UTC
Package removed.
