I'd be happy to sponsor the rpcs3 package (and its dependencies).

Do you have any update on the status of this ? I am interested in seeing rpcs3 in Debian eventually and willing to spare a few cycles :-).

Do you have a more concrete list of what deps are we missing / need to be updated in Debian ?

I see the packaging at https://salsa.debian.org/ahmadkhalifa/rpcs3 but it seems to not build in the CI :-(. I didn't look at it in much more detail than that though.

Would you like to move the packaging to the https://salsa.debian.org/games-team/ namespace and maintain it under the games-team? It'd probably make sense to join the team on salsa, too...


Cheers!

Chris
