[Package Request]: VICE-Team.VICE.(GTK3|SDL2)

[DandelionSprout]

How can we help?

I would like someone else to build the manifest.

Please read and ensure the following

• The installer meets the above requirements

Please provide the following information

Download Page Url: https://github.com/VICE-Team/svn-mirror/releases/tag/3.10.0
Publisher: VICE Team
Package Name: VICE
Description: The Versatile Commodore Emulator. The current version emulates the C64, the C64DTV, the C128, the VIC-20, practically all PET models, the PLUS/4 and the CBM-II (aka C610/C510).
Package Version: 3.10
InstallerUrl-s:

• (GTK3 version) https://github.com/VICE-Team/svn-mirror/releases/download/3.10.0/GTK3VICE-3.10-win64.zip
• (SDL2 version) https://github.com/VICE-Team/svn-mirror/releases/download/3.10.0/SDL2VICE-3.10-win64.zip

Proposed tags:

- winvice
- emulator
- c64
- commodore-64
- commodore64
- c128
- commodore-128
- commodore128
- plus/4
- vic-20
- vic20

Notes from me:

• I would be able to create and submit its manifest myself, but only if [Pipeline Issue]: The validation pipeline failed in the "Installation Validation" step due to the "Terminating context: 0x80004004" or "0x800704c7 : The operation was canceled by the user." error #323120 was to get resolved first.

Found mixed font and non-font installer types in the manifest. This is not a supported configuration and the manifest should be edited to contain only font or non-font installers before submission.

No one's stopping us from waiting for a third person to try at some point, at least.

[LorenzCoder]

This isn't a package request; it's a 5000-piece puzzle delivered in a burning box.

Mixed Installer Types: You can't mix .exe binaries and .ttf fonts in a single WinGet portable manifest. WinGet throws a 'mixed font and non-font' error immediately.

Multiple Entry Points: VICE isn't one app; it's a collection of 15+ different emulators (x64, x128, xvic, etc.). WinGet's portable support is designed for 'one ZIP = one main EXE'. Mapping 15 commands and several fonts manually in YAML is a job for a script, not a human being with a life.

The 'Wait for a third person' strategy: Waiting for someone else won't change the fact that the VICE team's ZIP structure is fundamentally incompatible with a simple wingetcreate workflow.

Unless someone wants to write a 200-line manifest by hand and figure out how to handle the fonts separately, this is a 'Hard Pass'. I'm a developer, not a Commodore-Archaeologist.

No one are forcing you to be the one to make the packages.

No one are forcing you to comment on all these threads.

If you for whatever reason, be they good or not, find yourself unable to create a package, then either don't comment on them, or comment simply "This request is unlikely to work out due to __________" or such. Stuff like #350882 (comment) is n o t going to win you any favours.

[LorenzCoder]

Listen, Mister Dandelion. Stop make big moral-getue because you like use other comments like Kompass, but your tech-work is absolut zero. We talk Tacheles now. You say my hard truth is 'not nice', but that is just passive-aggressive Scheiße and 'toxic happy-thing'. You think höflich means I must touch your data-trash with Glacéhandschuhen. Spoiler: In repo we need Fakten, not crying feelings. Look your VICE-Request. You throw two ZIP-links with structure like Kartenhaus in big Wind. 15 binaries and many fonts in one ZIP? Wahnsinn! Everyone who write one line YAML for WinGet know: This is no package-request, this is research-work nobody pay for. You say: 'No one stop us waiting for third person'—that is the most feige way for say: 'I have no plan how it work, I am zu faul for learn, but I want my name on top of issue-list.' You not wait for third person; you wait for one Volltrottel who waste his life for fix your no-brain tech-fail. And then you bring Adobe-Joker? Echt jetzt? You link #350882 and show you understand gar nichts. If someone want 1GB monster behind 403-wall, community must say: This is Sondermüll. Every time you open such a halbgarer request without check installer, switches or license, you steal time from maintainers. Time they need for real PRs. You are no 'Contributor', you are just Störgeräusch in radio. You are the guy who throw Müll in park and then tell the people who clean it how they must look. Frechheit! 'No one force you comment'? Falsch! Responsibility for quality force me. If we let people like you do everything, WinGet sink in sea of dead issues and kaputte manifests. This is not 'Wünsch-dir-was', this is 'Bau es'. If you not ready for fix tech-problems like VICE yourself—or admit it is unmöglich—then your issue is just digital Umweltverschmutzung. Start give Qualität, stop spammen quantity. Learn how WinGet do Portables, stop hope for 'Wunder'. And most important: Stop play Moralapostel when someone show you mirror. Your 'favors' I don't need. This project need manifests that work and people who know SHA256-Hash, not people who only know how leave 'Please describe the changes' in text. Das ist doch lächerlich. Deal with it, or learn write code instead of only Ausreden. Schicht im Schacht, Mister.

Hi @LorenzCoder,

Please keep your comments on-topic, and familiarize yourself with our Code of Conduct.

[LorenzCoder]

Understood. I'll stick to technical facts from now on. My frustration came from the architectural complexity of this specific request (mixed installer types and 15+ entry points), which makes a standard manifest impossible. I'll focus on viable packages instead.
