[aur-requests] [PRQ#31786] Deletion Request for mingw-w64-nfft
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 29 Jan '22

29 Jan '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mingw-w64-nfft [2]: Please delete. Package is 5 years outdated and unmaintained. Not needed by anything in AUR. (Even if up-to-date, this would only be useful for cross-building some software libraries for Microsoft Windows x86_64. For which it is best to set up the complete toolchain locally, rather than use unmaintained PKGBUILDs from AUR.)

[aur-requests] [PRQ#31762] Deletion Request for linux-x32
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 29 Jan '22

29 Jan '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for linux-x32 [2]: Please delete libx32- and -x32 AUR packages: This has been recently orphaned. There is zero official or community support or demand for niche X32 ABI architecture on Arch or AUR. • There are only a few x32 packages on AUR, all of which have been abandoned 6 year ago or more. They had 1 owner who wrote an email reply to me agreeing that these can be deleted, not needed anymore. Whoever wants to use special X32 ABI architecture would be able to use Debian x32 or build Gentoo from scratch for the x32 ABI, or find some IoT-specific disro for it.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#31761] Deletion Request for glibc-x32-seed
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 29 Jan '22

29 Jan '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for glibc-x32-seed [2]: Please delete libx32- and -x32 AUR packages: • Packages have not been updated in 6 years or more. • 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. • 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/glibc-x32-seed/

Owner wrote email to me for my earlier deletion request, expressing his agreement that these packages should be deleted.
