Description Davyd McColl 2022-05-31 17:26:14 UTC
GURU provides technic-launcher at version 4.625. This version does not have support for Microsoft accounts and Minecraft.net has moved to using MS OAUTH for all accounts.
The jar at https://launcher.technicpack.net/launcher4/747/TechnicLauncher.jar works perfectly - I've downloaded and overwritten the technic-launcher.jar provided by the package.

I'm (by far) not an ebuild expert, but if I understand correctly, all that is required is to rename the ebuild to technic-launcher-4.747.ebuild ?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install technic-launcher
2. start up technic-launcher, prompted to log in
3. cannot log in because the older jar only supports minecraft.net direct login via the login page
Actual Results:  
Can't log in - so can't play

Expected Results:  
Should be able to log in & play (:

ah, there is a lot more than just renaming the file - hashes need to be updated too (I tried copying the ebuild locally and changing version numbers)

I have much to learn about ebuilds.

The package is orphaned, if you really need it you can become the maintainer
