Description (last modified by mascguy (Christopher Nielsen))

Presently, the 0.226 port of Mame includes a few things that need cleanup:

  • Most notably, translation files included under ${prefix}/libexec/mame/language: Currently we include *.mo, as well as *.po and *.po~. Whereas only *.mo are needed. However, the extra files do not cause any issues with the software. And they are tiny... in the very low kilobyte range.
  • Python variants cover versions 3.6 through 3.9. Remove support for 3.6, to simplify the port.
  • Add a 'debug' variant.
  • Disable 32-bit build support.
  • Reduce compilation warnings.

These issue will be fixed when the Mame project releases 0.227, or sooner if said release is delayed beyond December 2020.
