Description

Recoil is a battle tested open-source RTS engine, successor of Spring. It is designed, in its basis, to be able to run the content of the game Total Annihilation and deliver a similar, but improved, gaming experience. Games can be intense and very large scaled, with fight of, literally, hundreds of units and the mods allow very wide arrays of different strategies and tactics. Some of the games powered by Recoil: Beyond All Reason, ZeroK, TA Prime and Metal Factions.

+7zip -p7zip, add quirk, change depends

Patch x11/gnome/file-roller and x11/mate/engrampa, because 7zip does not have p7zip's -l flag. Dropping -l fixes adding a file to a .tar.7z archive. Patch x11/xarchiver to find 7zCon.sfx in the new spot. ok sthen@

update recoil-rts to latest release 2026.06.12. From fabien@ - thanks!

Includes some other changes: - disable the new use of mimalloc (and use otto malloc instead) - fix a memory alignment bug related to upstream reliance on mimalloc; planned to be upstreamed - build type change from RELWITHDEBINFO to RELEASE - binary size reduction due to this and removal of headers for bundled static libs
