He specifically switched the license because people kept sending angry support requests for badly done distro repackages that didn’t work properly.

Arch Linux's version literally builds his latest released code. https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=duckstation-git looks relatively straightforward. It checks out Stenzek's latest code and then does a for-loop for Stenzek's super weird build-dependencies-linux.sh script (I would have just used a .spec file in Open Build Service but my packing background is RPM and not whatever use case that is).

DuckStation is in flatpak form, on flathub, right now, official version.

As of 2025/07/26, with the aforementioned issues and a lack of interest from users, the Flatpak package is deprecated.

…or not set up a support Discord and then get mad when people ask for support…

Zumindest die Bilder der Werbeanzeigen kommen von einer eigenen Domain, die man blockieren kann.

Something, something nice bings and oat sides.

So not setting up a Discord in the first place is not an option because some people are so desperate to get feedback even though they are annoyed by feedback?

Who forces him to respond to such messages on Discord? He can just not engage with people of whom he thinks are idiots.

If he doesn’t want to engage with users at all, maybe not set up a Discord in the first place.

Normal people would just invite distribution packagers to develop fixes upstream.

[–] woelkchen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

To write a script that checks out upstream code and compiles it locally is not a distribution by a 3rd party. The code comes directly from Stenzek. That’s why he puts the Arch check there.

If that script happens to do a search and replace of archlinux with some random jibberish (so the check is no longer for archlinux), that’s still not a distribution of modified code because all code modifications happen locally.

[–] woelkchen@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

AUR can. It’s just locally checking out the code from git and compiling it locally as well. I’m not a pro AUR maintainer but I’m not aware of a single AUR entry that ships software source code directly from AUR.

[–] woelkchen@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

AFAIK they did.

CC4.0 licenses work for code. The language was made generic and no longer talks about performing music on stage and such.

Better to use CC NC for non commercial works than to homebrew your own text. CC BY and CC BY SA are GPLv3 compatible.
