I don't care about staruml-bin but libgcrypt is one of those legacy |
13 |
libraries that would be helpful to keep around for older proprietary |
14 |
software that is not in the tree. In particular, it is used by |
15 |
Half-Life 2 and Portal, not exactly obscure games. It is included in |
16 |
the Steam runtime but we highly recommend against using that because it |
17 |
causes many issues. |

If you want me to maintain this version then I can do that. If it's |
20 |
otherwise causing real issues by being in the tree then I could move it |
21 |
to steam-overlay but I'd rather not. There may be non-Steam use cases. |
