[sl1pkn07]

Hi. i want use dreampy on the Zero 2 W with ArchLinuxARM. but needs the packages dc2k2, dcgamespy and dcvoip, wich is in .deb (debian) in the repo (and is binary/compiled)

where i can get the source programs for use with other OS than Debian?

i can convert the .dev with Alien. but i prefeer build it myself

greetings

yeh this binary blob thing is a roadblock i would like to see sorted out as well.

I'd like our RetroNAS users to be able to deploy dreampi to an x86 VM or old laptop or whatever and i'd like to build these elfs on the fly. dreampi is only one of two (iirc) out of all the services available on RetroNAS where we've had to enforce arch restrictions and it'll become a problem of base os as we look to potentially support alt methods of deploy in the future (alpine, arch etc). We target debian currently and that is a pretty wide reaching target so its not a total loss on the dist side.

@Kazade who owns/has the source for these binary blobs in this project are they still active and willing to release the source at any point? or are we at a point of disassembly/decompilation/development etc? Perhaps it is already available and I've just never come across it.
