[aur-requests] [PRQ#32984] Deletion Request for libexplain
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 19 Mar '22

19 Mar '22

chuan [1] filed a deletion request for libexplain [2]: The libexplain (even with the latest Debian patches) can no longer build on Arch. Given the software is out of date for quite some time (last updated in 2014 on SourceForge), I don't see a visible path forward to continue to support it on Arch.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#32982] Deletion Request for sickrage
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 19 Mar '22

19 Mar '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for sickrage [2]: Abandoned, orphaned package. Original source repo gone, so in 2018 the last maintainer (wrongly) switched the source link over to the source of another AUR package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sickchill Therefore this package is a misleading old abandoned duplicate now. As per the README of the now proper and working fork: https://github.com/SickChill/SickChill "SickChill: Please do not confuse us with SickRageTV aka Sickrage.ca, which took over the sickrage/sickrage repository in Oct 2018 We will never mine bitcoin on your machine, charge for a "service" or to use the software. We will never store your information, especially site logins to private trackers. We believe in honesty and loyalty and privacy." It seems the SickRage software became malicious. Don't know if that was the reason for its GitHub deletion. Keep: AUR/sickchill Delete: AUR/sikrage [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/sickrage/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#32979] Deletion Request for clutter-gtk-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 19 Mar '22

19 Mar '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for clutter-gtk-git [2]: Clutter GTK source got archived (made read-only) by GNOME project. Clutter has been retired entirely: https://blogs.gnome.org/clutter/2022/02/16/retiring-clutter/ Therefore there is no further need for this -git VCS package. There won't be any new commits. Arch still carries the latest stable clutter-gtk and will keep it as long as needed: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/clutter-gtk/ Nothing depends on this -git AUR package. Therefore it's redundant and safe to delete. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/clutter-gtk-git/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#32975] Deletion Request for wine-stable-ubuntu
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 19 Mar '22

19 Mar '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for wine-stable-ubuntu [2]: I suggest to delete this orphaned, outdated package. Seems no one is volunteering to take it up. It is wrong to have this package for several reasons: * Should be suffixed with -bin, not with -ubuntu, as it's a binary package. * Ubuntu build is a wrong fit for Arch when it comes to foreign builds. People should at least adapt fresh Fedora or OpenSUSE builds, as they are relying on more up-to-date dependencies. * Should someone venture to adopt this package, their recommended course of action would be to use an aforementioned Fedora or OpenSUSE build, but then that source would mismatch with the -ubuntu name suffix of this package. * In my experience, even Arch/multilib/wine-staging is quite stable for day-to-day use, but there is also the Arch/multilib/wine package which is very good. * If someone has issues with the latest Arch wine, their best workaround is a downgrade to the previous version. If all else fails, their second best bet is to build AUR/wine-stable or download the same from ChaoticAUR. All in all, it's not useful at all for users to have a "wine-stable- ubuntu" package in AUR.
