by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 11 Feb '22

11 Feb '22

tomaszc [1] filed a deletion request for arch-animated-startscreen [2]: Please review. In my case, this PKGBUILD asks for root access and makes changes directly to the filesystem, and the build package is empty.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#31692] Deletion Request for webhook-server-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 11 Feb '22

11 Feb '22

Nukesor [1] filed a deletion request for webhook-server-git [2]: I stopped working on this project and archived it. All releases on crates.io have been yanked as well and an alternative has been proposed in the README. We should remove it from the AUR as well, especially since the current HEAD breaks anyway.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#31694] Deletion Request for wine-qqintl
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 11 Feb '22

11 Feb '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for wine-qqintl [2]: Package name is wrong. It does not package WINE, only repackages a third-party .DEB repackage of (supposedly) QQ Messenger for Windows. It's unclear how the package depends on WINE, and on which one (no depends= declared). The package is 6 years old. The maintainer did not respond to a request for update since 5 years ago. The linked website, www.imqq.com server is offline. The source, which is a SourceForge repo with .DEB files has not been updated for the last 6 years. I think it's safe to delete this package. Nothing else depend on it and I don't think anyone would need this now. Anyways people surely could download and run Windows current software in WINE in Deepin as well. An Instant Messenger application is also very likely to need up-to- date clients. So this package is most probably useless now.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#31697] Deletion Request for wine37
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 11 Feb '22

11 Feb '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for wine37 [2]: Linked source file does not exist. There is zero reason to have a package for Wine development (unstable) version 3.7 from 27 April 2018. Wine's legacy stable versions might have slightly better rationale to be hosted here. But actually I fail to see the reason to use any outdated Wine version, since the new versions support everything the old ones did. Also, only stable releases (4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0 etc.) are being maintained and fixed with point releases, but only for a year each AFAIK. Moreover, even after fixing the source link for this package and trying to build it, the build fails because there is a misconfiguration in the source itself. It invokes the source-builtin tool 'wrc' with a parameter that it does not support. But this kind of thing happens with unstable software releases. Safe to delete since nothing in AUR depend on it. The less outdated and non-working alternatives hosted here, the better the chances users will find the working, up-to-date versions.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#31698] Deletion Request for wine-libusb-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 11 Feb '22

11 Feb '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for wine-libusb-git [2]: This is some 4 year old custom "fork" of some unclear subset of libusb. It's never been maintained (GitHub repo only has "first commit"). And even the author lists several dozen features missing from it compared to the then-current libusb. Since at least Wine-Devel 5.7 (Wine Stable 6.0), Wine uses the regular core/libusb package during build time. Therefore there is zero need to use any kind of old and hackish library to enable proper USB support under Wine. Safe to delete as there is nothing in AUR that depend on this.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#31699] Deletion Request for wine-browser-installer
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 11 Feb '22

11 Feb '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for wine-browser-installer [2]: 6.5 year old unmaintained package, source last updated in 2014. Unclear what it is actually for. It purports to provide Microsoft Silverlight, and obsolete technology which nevertheless can be installed manually or via winetricks in current WINE, if someone really wants it. This package is safe to delete as it is extremely old and nothing in AUR depend on it. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/wine-browser-installer/
