Banished and rejected packages 📑

This is a list of packages that we will reject for good reasons:

• snapd: I didn't know how to help my users with it since it breaks A LOT. I recommend using native packages or FlatPak instead. Also, there are a lot of other reasons to not use Snaps.

• lib32-x265: There is absolutely no use case in which a 32-bit application (Linux or Windows) would want to ENCODE HEVC. I recommend disabling x265 for the packages depending on it (usually FFmpeg or GStreamer).

• gst-plugins-{ugly,bad} (and lib32): These need too frequent rebuilds which can't be dealt with as we don't control the packages pkgrel. Ultimately this would result in a bad user experience - dependency requests however are welcome!

• ffmpeg-{full,headless} (and lib32): These need too frequent rebuilds which can't be dealt with as we don't control the packages pkgrel. Ultimately this would result in a bad user experience - dependency requests however are welcome!

• mpv-amd, ffmpeg-amd: This is just MPV/FFMPEG without CUDA and NVENC to achieve shorter build times without actual end-user benefit.

• unreal-engine (and -git): Some mirrors don't have sufficient storage space.

• python2: Has been end of life for a couple years, and was removed from Arch repositories. Requests for packages that depend on python2 will be rejected.

Banned due to licensing issues 🛑

• aseprite{-git}: Redistribution is explicitly prohibited in its FAQ.

• multimc-git: This application is licensed under the Apache 2 license, which prohibits distributing custom binaries like the one built by us.

• polymc-cracked-git: Even though the apps own license is GPL, it allows playing Minecraft without license. Therefore we are not adding it.

• tlauncher: Same as above, it allows playing Minecraft without license.
