Default Possible options for a no longer maintained / decommissioned package?

Hope this find you well the good daemon folks,

Turns out one of the packages I rely on got decommissioned ("PokerTH" for the curious). What options am I presented with in terms of maintaining a functional package going forward as a continuation of what there already was installed via the official repos?

Thank you, /SM

This is a good question, as pokerth interests me also. Unfortunately, I haven't found a way to overcome pokerth's incompatibility with newer protobuf. I run the app from a guest virtual machine, running OpenBSD 7.4, as that was the last release with a working port. If you're not familiar with running guest VMs with vmm(4)/vmd(8), they use serial consoles, so I network X11 and audio via ssh(1)/sshd(8) and sndio(7)/sndiod(8), respectively.

Wasn't even aware of the incompatibility issue, shame on me :|
Thanks though for a valid advice on a solution / workaround and mentioning the bits required.

You can even share audio simultaneously between host and guest if they have the same .sndio/cookie file.

If I ever get the protobuf issue resolved, I'll submit it to ports@.
