[aur-requests] [PRQ#33175] Deletion Request for xkeyboard-config-rub
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 19 Mar '22

19 Mar '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for xkeyboard-config-rub [2]: Orphaned package last updated in 2015. Doesn't seem to be needed by anyone. There are zero user requests or comments for this. It's a custom-patched xorg xkeyboard build. The included Russian BEPO layout patch is based on the marginally used French BÉPO keyboard layout. Nevertheless, it seems the latter has been updated in 2019 based on a new French AZERTY layout. This patch from 2015 has not been maintained since its original upload. There are almost no hardware keyboard available for the French BÉPO. I doubt there is even one such keyboard for Russian. Maintainer has disowned the package last month because of lack of user demand, including themself.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#33172] Deletion Request for nvidia-fake-powerd
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 19 Mar '22

19 Mar '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for nvidia-fake-powerd [2]: Not needed anymore, since the bug that was introduced in NVIDIA driver development release 495 got fixed with later stable releases. So this package, which was meant to be a bug workaround in diver v495, no longer serves any purpose.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#33171] Deletion Request for wine-mono-gecko-version-fix
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 19 Mar '22

19 Mar '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for wine-mono-gecko-version-fix [2]: Incompatible with current Wine, Gecko, Mono. Upstream URL is also down. No response from maintainer to submitted issues since 18 Feb 2021. Package last updated on 2020-11-24. It is not clear what this package is supposed to do. I've asked the maintainer to clarify it but I got no response. It was supposed to fix some popup issue with Wine that relates to Wine Gecko and Wine Mono. But I've never experienced such issues since I started actively using Wine in 2020 and I always have Wine Gecko and Wine Mono installed. Package was reported to conflict with wine-mono package on 18 Feb 2021, more than a year ago: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wine-mono-gecko-version- fix#comment-792337 Maintainer hasn't responded. I'd say it's safe to delete this package because it seems to have been created in 2020 to solve a problem that doesn't exist anymore, and instead this package just creates problems of its own. Also, if there is ever any packaging issue with Arch wine or wine-* packages, those should be addressed on the Arch bug tracking system, not by creating (and then not maintaining) some custom Pacman hooks on AUR.

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for telegram-desktop-aarch64-bin [2]: Source 404, last updated in 2020. I'd suggest it's not needed, Arch Linux ARM carries the binary build: https://archlinuxarm.org/packages/aarch64/telegram-desktop [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/telegram-desktop-aarch64-bin/

delx [1] filed a deletion request for mythtv-git [2]: The regular mythtv package tracks the stable git branch. Nobody seems to be interested in tracking master. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/delx/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/mythtv-git/

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

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for dhall-bin [2]: Hi, I'd suggest to delete this package as it duplicates https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/dhall/ With a foreign build. But if there are counter-arguments, let's hear them. :) [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/dhall-bin/
