by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 19 Mar '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for user-manager-git [2]: Standalone project discontinued in 2021: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/user-manager/-/blob/master/README.md Quote: "As of Plasma 5.19 and later, the KCM has been moved to the plasma- desktop repo and this repo is unmaintained."

[aur-requests] [PRQ#32893] Deletion Request for plasma-mediacenter
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 19 Mar '22

19 Mar '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for plasma-mediacenter [2]: Orphaned package, dropped from Arch in 2020. KDE has migrated, then inactivated its source repo. This application was developed for KDE Plasma 4 and was only maintained until KDE Plasma 5.7. (Current Plasma version is 5.24.*) Last release was in 2016. It was reported broken already as of 2018 (on Plasma 5.12 / 5.13): https://www.kdedigest.com/2018/03/plasma-media-center-has-gone-silent- and.html KDE has moved on to a new replacement project which is actively being developed: https://plasma-bigscreen.org/ Safe to delete this broken, orphaned, discontinued application package. Nothing in AUR depends on it. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/plasma-mediacenter/

loathingkernel [1] filed a deletion request for crash-bandicoot-2 [2]: This looks like a wrong thing to be on the AUR. But it is unclear to me what rule exactly it might violate outside of potential legal issues.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#32878] Deletion Request for kde-servicemenus-unarchiver
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 19 Mar '22

19 Mar '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for kde-servicemenus-unarchiver [2]: I suggest this old .desktop link from 2015 intended for KDE's default Dolphin file manager and the Unarchiver CLI package last updated in 2020 can be safely deleted. Today the Dolphin file manager works perfectly with KDE's default archive manager tool, Ark, which supports a wide range of archive file formats and it even has multiple alternative optional dependencies that support the LZO format specifically. Unarchiver is not the best choice for that IMHO, because it is unmaintained. But Ark can directly use the Unarchiver package from Arch, one only has to install the latter as an optional dependency, no other setup needed. With Ark installed, Dolphin file manager's file/directory context menu offers Compress and Extract options (where relevant). Therefore this old plug-in link package is more limited that what KDE today offers by default, in terms of archive file support.
