So with the recent release of apvlv 0.1.0, I have decided to drop maintaining it. I believe it now supports UMD file reading of some sort, and this requires the whole the PSP toolchain to be packaged and submitted to the repo, which is something I have no interest in doing whatsoever, as I haven't even used the software in months. Any takers (TUs of course)? Regards, Brad

Hello, what about not supporting umd files? There is an configure-option "--without-umd"? I can take it back, but I am not interested in supporting umd, too. Regards Stefan

I was contemplating doing that, but I assumed that that was considered a "downstream modification", and would take away some functionality of the software, therefore not allowed. I have no problem keeping it if I do not have to build with UMD support. Regards, Brad

You don't have to bring that, if some functionality can be modified using configure/make commands, there's no one who can complain, upstream made it possible, so it is obviously also in their intent to let people build it with features they need. If a user needs it, but not the majority of users, well, we have abs, not much of a deal to do a modified rebuild for what one needs. Though I'm a bit confused, I myself own a PSP (old FAT/1000 model) and UMDs are the "caged" hardware disks, an ebook reader for this? Sure they don't mean another format for document files? -- Jabber: atsutane@freethoughts.de Blog: http://atsutane.freethoughts.de/ Key: 295AFBF4 FP: 39F8 80E5 0E49 A4D1 1341 E8F9 39E4 F17F 295A FBF4

What exactly is this "PSP toolchain"? Are the tools available from AUR?

Think of it as something similar to, say, the AVR toolchain. It is simply packages that are patched/modified for a certain architecture, which is the PSP (PlayStation Portable) in this case. You can check out: http://svn.ps2dev.org/listing.php?repname=psp&path=/trunk/&rev=0&sc=0 I couldn't find any PSP/UMD-related packages in the official repos, nor the AUR. Regards, Brad

An entire toolchain for a viewer? Either abandon the software altogether or build it without this "feature".

Nah, umd in this case is an ebook file format, so you don't need a PSP toolchain ;) Brad, I think you solved this already?

Yes, I have solved this. I apologize for my ignorance; I was not aware of the UMD ebook format (for mobile devices IIRC). All of this was sorted out in the IRC channel. :-) Although, the reason I wasn't able to build (link, to be more specific) was the fact that upstream forgot to strip the object files and binaries from the src/ dir. A "make clean" in the PKGBUILD fixed this. Regards, Brad
