[aur-general] AUR JDK-package cleanup
Following jde/jre packages should be removed: [1]lib32-jdk-6u17: orhapn, Provides a static and old version of Oracles JDK, a lib32 package for Oracle JDK6 exists. [2]jdk-community-stable-x32: Non functional (ties to pull the Oracle JDK from ftp.archlinux.org), "out-of-date", serves no real purpose (installs under a x32 prefixed dir in /opt) [3]jdk-community-stable-x64: -||-, has 'i686' in arch=() [4]jdk-community-stable-all: -||-, meta package, which pulls the 2 above [5]openjdk7-src-systemtap: Orphan, 0 votes, a package with bether name and maintainer exist (openjdk7-systemtap) [6]jdk7-openjdk-systemtap: -||- --------------------------------------------------------------------- [1]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32302 [2]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=50293 [3]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=50291 [4]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=50292 [5]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=56221 [6]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=56220 And the following should be merged: [10]bin32-jdk [11]lib32-jdk #bin32-jdk -> lib32-jdk. In my opinion lib32 is better name, even #tought it does have 32 bit executables and not only libraries. #Both have maintainer and have equalish ammount of votes. #(lib32:40, bin32:33) bin32 does have a better PKGBUILD as lib32 #tries to pull the jdk from ftp.archlinux.org, while bin32 gets #the Sun's/Oracle's binary. In any way these should be merged in some #direction be it what ever. --------------------------------------------------------------------- [10]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32335 [11]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=11615 Still lots of packages which could have better names...
Hello, Thanks for reporting and for including all the links. I removed the first 6 packages and merged+deleted bin32-jdk to lib32-jdk. lib32-jdk has been out of date since 28 Aug 2011 and was disowned. If there are packages that could have better names, one possible approach is adding a comment and asking maintainers to resubmit the package with a better name, then ask here for the deletion+merging of the old package. -- Best regards, Alexander Rødseth Arch Linux Trusted User (xyproto on IRC, trontonic on AUR)
