[aur-requests] [PRQ#31767] Deletion Request for libx32-icu
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 30 Jan '22

30 Jan '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for libx32-icu [2]: Please delete libx32- and -x32 AUR packages: • Packages have not been updated in 6 years or more. • Owner replied in email to me, agreeing to the deletion. • In case of libx32- packages, naming violates Arch guidelines*. Name should end with '-x32', not start with 'libx32-'. • Most such packages cannot be built because of already dropped dependencies from AUR. • Even if built, X32 executables won't work with any mainstream kernels from any distros. Only on kernels custom-built with niche x32 ABI support. • Whoever wants to use such a special architecture would not be able to use it from unbuildable, unmaintained 6-year old build scripts from the AUR. But they could use Debian x32 or build Gentoo from scratch for the x32 ABI. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/libx32-icu/

ghostbuster [1] filed a deletion request for nagstamon-beta [2]: The upstream workflow of Nagstamon has been changed to github actions to create an automatic pre-release on a per commit or daiThe upstream workflow of Nagstamon has been changed to use github actions to create an automatic pre-release on a per commit or daily basis. The former manually released and announced pre-releases which were used for this package seem to be finally gone. Due to this upstream change using the prereleases would result in a git-like package. So I orphaned this package and adopted the nagstamon-git package roughly 6 month ago. The aur package nagstamon is not affected by any of these changed and is still based on official Nagstamon releases. From my point of view there is currently no need to keep this package as it is outdated and there is no Nagstamon release type available, which could be used to revive this package. In consequence, please consider deleting this package.ly basis. The former manually released and announced pre-releases which were used for this package seem to be finally gone.

31415926 [1] filed an orphan request for python-pywavelets [2]: Until now, the current maintainer has not responded to the out-of- date-flagging from 2021-12-21 nor my comment offering an up-to-date PKGBUILD from 2022-01-07.
