@Justin not that I care if optipng gets included, but it's lossless, while pngquant is lossy. Also, zopflipng yielded the best (lossless) results in my testing, though last I checked it was not packaged on Solus.

For what it's worth, I find in 'maintaining' most of the things I've packaged, using RSS feeds make it a lot easier:

Might there be any way to feed things like that in?

W-Floyd added a comment to T2308: LinuxSampler.

Upon further investigation, this is proving harder to package than I had anticipated. linuxsampler fails to find files that libgig clearly provides, gigedit also fails to compile. I might keep having a fiddle, but I'm out of my depth. Unless someone else has a passion for it, this might prove to be more of a burden than a blessing to have packaged.
