• Path: arch/maintained/basic256-qt5
• New package, created 2026-09-18 as a fallback for systems without Qt6, after basic256 itself moved to a Qt6-only upstream (see memory/basic256.md’s 2026-09-18 entry for the full story).
• Content: the old basic256 package verbatim, just renamed – SourceForge 2.0.99.10 source, qmake (BASIC256.pro) build, Qt5 deps (qt5-multimedia/qt5-serialport/qt5-speech), makedepends_i686/makedepends_pentium4=('icu76') (same linking gap as documented for basic256/qgpgme-qt5/trojita-qt5-git). pkgrel starts fresh at 1 (new package identity, even though the content matches old basic256’s 2.0.99.10-6).
• provides=('basic256') / conflicts=('basic256'): installs the same /usr/bin/basic256 binary and desktop entry, so it can’t coexist with the real basic256 package – same pattern as trojita-qt5-git’s provides=('trojita').
• SourceForge’s 2.0.99.10 really is the last Qt5-buildable release: checked GitHub’s full tag list (v2.1.beta.01 through v2.2.0) and every single one already requires Qt6 in CMakeLists.txt – no newer untagged Qt5 commit to bisect down to.
• Built and published cleanly on i686/x86_64/pentium4 at 2.0.99.10-1 on the first attempt (identical to the already-working basic256 build, just renamed) – no new issues.
• Not yet an AUR submodule/git repo – exists only as a plain directory in this tree and in our private repo until the user does their own git init + AUR remote + push to actually submit it.
