Consider providing the attach.xbe source code. #11

Closed TheMuso closed 1 year ago

TheMuso commented 1 year ago

I am wondering whether the source code for attach.xbe could be included in the repo. The original attach.c from rmenhal's drive image utils package is licensed under GPL 2. If the new attach.xbe is a complete rewrite under a different license, and or uses leaked MS code, then I understand if you choose to deny this request.

Thanks in advance.

It may be an interesting request to look at the source code, but what you imply when people do not follow your request is a rather rude insinuation.

Do you have evidence that it is a reworked development based on the free code? Yes? then present and it will be seen. No? Then you should not make assumptions.

I'm not sure I see the reason to not provide the source. It's clear that Cerbios uses a different method of attach (as soon by a simple RE of the default.xbe), and people in the scene love to bring up the fact other kernels do not support CCI. Why would one go out of their way to support a proprietary format (ie, how CCI is loaded) if zero support is given?

And you wonder why support is not given if this is how you treat the devs? Support was offered to stellar, but this was declined by the creator multiple times under the claim that cso would be better as it was a standardized format.

The fact remains that there didnt exist a split cso tool when repackinator and cci was developed.

How about trying to ask nicely instead? Unless you or the people you're representing are complete douchenozzles, that would be the way to go about it, and not post a passive aggressive BS excuse about support not being given when all you need to do is ask.

I'm not sure I'm treating anyone badly, simply asking why the source isn't available.

Wouldn't offering the standard in an open fashion make an even stronger argument against people not supporting it? But this isn't even what I want, or need, just the custom attach changes.

Ftr, I'm not representing anyone lol just trying to add launching CCIs to Lithium for all the Cerbios users. :)

After I put in the effort to RE it. Aggravating. https://github.com/Ryzee119/LithiumX/pull/31

I literally sent them a message 24 hours ago once you were told to reach out to them directly.

Maybe should of asked them directly earlier. 🤷 Anyways they sent over the code and we have now put it up. Enjoy

Just as some background info I did reach out to LoveMhz (Dustin) but never had any replies...
