Recompile project / Maintaining homebrew

[bruteX]

Hey everybody,

I have the Feeling that a lot of good homebrew gets lost because its not maintained.

We have some great ports for example that simply doesnt run on latest cfw because they need to be recompiled.

I cant recompile myself. Im thinking about a list of switch ports that need recompiling so anybody who has the time and skill can pickup a homebrew and make it work again for everybody.

What do you think? Do you have homebrew that doesnt work anymore? Suggest apps/games/etc. for recompiling below.

Example:
Ioq3 latest Release 18 Sep 2019
Github

max_nx latest Release 24 Feb 2021

(re)compiling a homebrew project wasn't that hard once you have all the tools set up.
The problem is not the recompiling itself but the changes you need to make and test whether what you changed fixed the problem.
It is not just a matter of cloning something from github and running 'make'.
But I guess there are more than enough people able to help out here.

Ok, understood. Maybe the originally devs will jump in if they see interest in an Update here.
