Hi, There is no special reason, the arch maintainers simply don't have enough interest in this project. You can install it from the AUR, though. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/RetroArch ProgAndy

Probably due to not enough interest in the package. Also, despite the name, RetroArch has nothing whatsoever to do with the Arch Linux project. Just thought this might bear mentioning.

Just a heads up, I am and have been interested in bringing retroarch into [community] and have had nightly builds going around for a while. Hopefully I'll have the time to do so in a not so distant future. Cheers, -- Maxime

Is it only a matter of time, or are there other things in the way? Anything that people can help with?

Time only, the build issues I had when I first got into it were fixed in the 1.3 release. Cheers, -- Maxime

Can someone please help me check the wiki reflects the new package in community? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/RetroArch I've already made a small change to reflect to the new package in community, but I don't know if more changes are needed. Thanks, Diego
