(Migrated from github.com)

Candidate

Project: Vogroth Dawn
Candidate upstream/homepage: https://github.com/Daggerbot/VogrothDawn
Discovery evidence: IRLDb
Reported license: BSD
License status: reported free license; verify exact terms and asset coverage against the pinned upstream source
Catalog note: IRLDb status: alpha.

Scope

Package the independently playable roguelike from source. The canonical repository, latest stable release, source hash, complete dependency closure, and relationship to parent games or sibling forks must be established before implementation. Do not substitute an opaque prebuilt binary.

Research checklist

Identify the canonical maintained source repository and immutable release/commit.
Verify the exact FOSS license for code and every installed font, tile, sound, map, documentation, and bundled dependency.
Check GNU Guix and the channel audit set for an equivalent same-upstream package.
Determine the offline build system and source closure, including submodules or language registries.
Identify updater, telemetry, runtime download, mutable-state, and network behavior that needs Guix integration.

Acceptance checks

guix lint -L . <package> has no package-specific findings.
guix build -L . --no-grafts <package> succeeds without network access or opaque binaries.
Upstream tests run where available, and guix build -L . --no-grafts --check <package> verifies reproducibility.
A fresh HOME/XDG smoke test starts a real local game, exercises meaningful gameplay or save/load behavior, and proves no store writes.
Installed license and third-party notices cover the shipped closure and assets.

Goocastle recorded disposition: blocked.

Blocked by the absence of a canonical maintained source origin. The issue's candidate repository, https://github.com/Daggerbot/VogrothDawn, returns HTTP 404 through both GitHub's API and web endpoint, and an anonymous Git probe cannot resolve it; GitHub repository search returns no Vogroth Dawn repository and the still-existing Daggerbot account exposes no matching repository. The cited IRLDb record (identifier 47e013c) corroborates the project as an alpha Rust roguelike using SDL2 or Termbox and reports BSD, but it points to that same dead GitHub URL and supplies no immutable revision, source archive, license text, asset grants, dependency lockfile, or build instructions. Wayback has only one captured repository blob view (src/gen/cave.rs at 20141222115001), not the canonical repository, tree, or complete build/license closure. Consequently, no fixed upstream source can be selected and the reported BSD code license plus font, tile, sound, map, documentation, and bundled-dependency coverage cannot be verified. The request is unblocked only if an authoritative relocated or preserved canonical Git repository/archive is identified with an immutable compatible revision, exact FOSS licenses and redistribution grants for all installed code and assets, and complete offline source/build metadata sufficient for a source-only Guix package.
