[aur-general] Removal - poppler-qt3 0.16.7-1 - no longer needed (no kdemod3)
by David C. Rankin 20 Feb '14

20 Feb '14

Guys, Reviewing my AUR packages, the poppler-qt3 0.16.7-1 needs to be removed from AUR. This package was used with the old kdemod3 build from Chakra. It is no longer needed by anything. TDE provides its own version: see: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Trinity So pursuant to the Arch User Repository wiki (under 6.3 Other requests), could you all review it and remove it. It's not worth disowning. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

The following packages have been replaced by their libusb equivalent (like in the main repo see https://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/libusb/) and are useless now since libusbx has been merged back to libusb: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lib32-libusbx/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mingw-w64-libusbx/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mingw32-libusbx/ Regards, xan

[aur-general] Deletion/Rename request: pebble-sdk{-beta}
by Florian Bruhin 20 Feb '14

20 Feb '14

Hi, I'm the current maintainer of the pebble-sdk-beta[1] package. This now got final, so it should be renamed to pebble-sdk, replacing the current package[2] which doesn't build anymore. It doesn't build anymore since end of November, the beta got final on February 3rd. I mailed the maintainer (gianguido) on January 30th and never got an answer, so I'd like to overtake it, as I updated the -beta package to the final already. Not sure what's the best thing to do there -- delete -sdk and rename -sdk-beta to -sdk? Well, you sure know. If you answer, please CC me, because I do not receive mails sent to the list.

[aur-general] Linux-mainline + related package cleanup
by WorMzy Tykashi 20 Feb '14

20 Feb '14

Hi, I believe that the following packages should be removed: linux-mainline-ux31e [1] -- last updated in early 2012, orphaned, only three votes. broadcom-wl-mainline [2] -- last updated in late 2012, orphaned, zero votes, source gone, and apparently doesn't build anyway. There's a third package which appears to be semi-active: linux-mainline-dellxps [3], I've asked the maintainer whether the package still has any point, as she/he has said that the linux-mainline package works fine for them, so it may be worth keeping an eye on the comments. Cheers, WorMzy [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/linux-mainline-ux31e/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/broadcom-wl-mainline/ [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/linux-mainline-dellxps/

[aur-general] Removal request: minetestpp
by Arch Norrepli 20 Feb '14

20 Feb '14

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/minetestpp/ I created the minetestpp package, but orphaned it after development was given up. Most features of minetestpp have been merged into the current minetest or are availabe through mods. As the repository of minetestpp has been deleted, I request the removal of the package.

[aur-general] Leftover cleanups of February 2014
by Det 19 Feb '14

19 Feb '14

Hey, So some of you already know who I am, the rest who don't; don't care. Since things like FS#16831 (https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/16831) seem to be going nowhere we tend to have a lot of dead packages lying around with a helpful comment, such as "if a TU happens to stumble here, please remove this". So I've somewhat occasionally compiled a list of dust and dead bodies by Googling things like 'deprecated', 'obsolete', "package is no longer needed" and "remove/delete this package" (all preceded by 'site:archlinux.org'). I've trimmed all the false alarms from the 150+ or so packages down to these 73. This is all stuff that's either dead, dying or provided by something else. So please go waste your life on the cost of someone else's disk space and bandwidth: 1) android-google-market-licensing: Replaced by 'android-google-play-licensing' (AUR). - https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/android-google-market-licensing/ 2) atftp-init: Merged upstream in 'atftp' (AUR). -

[aur-general] Perl core modules in the AUR
by Jason St. John 18 Feb '14

18 Feb '14

Hello, Is there any reason to keep AUR packages for Perl core modules? The only reason I can think of is if there is an important bug fix or feature addition that has not made it into the latest Perl release yet, but I'm guessing this doesn't happen very often. Should _all_ AUR packages for Perl core modules be deleted or should only AUR packages where the latest version on CPAN is <= the provides list for the 'perl' package in [core] be deleted? If so, should I/we just send an email to this list, as usual, for all of these packages? Jason
