http://sdlemu.ngemu.com/basdl.php is down.

[Comment 1 Ulrich Müller 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 [e-mail], asking for clarification if redistribution of the tarball is allowed.

Interesting, README.TXT lists these authors:

   SDL Version:
   Carwyn Jones,   [e-mail]
   Lu_zero,        [e-mail]
   Niels Wagenaar, [e-mail]

Luca, is this you?

[Comment 5 Luca Barbato 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 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 2014-06-17 06:29:21 UTC]

Package removed.
