A release build (PS5_RELEASE_TAG set) now builds the picker and ES-DE
unless PS5_FRONTENDS says otherwise (tools/build-title.sh). A
development build still carries them only when asked.
tooling/notices/components.json lists what the frontends ship:
- ES-DE 3.5.0 (MIT) with its own licenses folder;
- the Alekfull NX theme (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0, marked non-commercial; the
picker's EmulationStation picture shows it);
- SDL2 (Zlib, the ps5-payload-dev fork);
- PS5_OpenGL (GPL-3.0-or-later, Mesa and its other parts in LICENSES/);
- FFmpeg (LGPL-2.1-or-later: no GPL parts configured), curl, Mbed TLS,
FreeType, HarfBuzz, ICU, pugixml, libwebp and stb;
- the picker, with the notices the template staged for it.
The port, the payload SDK and the LLVM runtime list the frontends'
executables beside eboot.bin.
tools/stage-notices.py and tools/check-notices.py treat es-de/es-de.bin
and picker/picker.bin as executables: each must belong to a part, with
its digest recorded. tools/source-bundle.py archives a part's extra
sources (a library's tarball, a git tree at a pinned or fixed revision)
even when the part has no archive of its own. The bundle then holds
ES-DE's commit, the libraries' tarballs, the SDL fork, PS5_OpenGL, the
template, the UI kit and the template's SDK pin.
Checked: tests/test_notices.py PASS (a frontend executable must belong
to a part); a build with both frontends staged 46 parts, and
check-notices "covers every shipped executable"; source-bundle --list
names every frontend source. The release-tagged build and its
--release check follow this commit.
Gates: tools/verify.sh PASS (format unit build integration evidence).
