[aur-requests] [PRQ#33917] Deletion Request for tar-libarchive
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 03 May '22

03 May '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for tar-libarchive [2]: This is not exactly a dummy package as its description say, but nevertheless it is harmful and should be deleted. It creates a symlink with the name 'tar', targeting libarchive's 'bsdtar'. But the problem is, bsdtar is not tar, and the former has less options, therefore at best it can provide only a subset of tar's features. Dependents that explicitly rely on tar's unique options will fail during runtime. [core]/[tar] is a dependency of the package [core]/[base], therefore it is mandatory for even the slimmest, most skeletal installations of Arch Linux. It should not be replaced with a mismatching, API and ABI incompatible tool. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/tar-libarchive/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#33928] Deletion Request for ttf-font-nerd-dummy
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 03 May '22

03 May '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ttf-font-nerd-dummy [2]: Dummy packages are not allowed on AUR. Referred request got rejected 3 days ago: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/74050 [community]/[starship] requires a Nerd Font installed, see: https://starship.rs/#prerequisites The mentioned case in point for the need of a nerd-font-dummy package was to let users install [starship] on headless machines without the required fonts. Guess what: [starship] is a smart client-side prompt addon for terminal *clients*. Solution to the headless server problem: don't install [starship] on it, it does not provide any useful feature in such environments.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#33865] Deletion Request for lib32-libmodbus-dev
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 03 May '22

03 May '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-libmodbus-dev [2]: I suggest this outdated dev version lib32 library can be deleted. Nothing on AUR depends on it. Modbus protocol compliant device owners can use the native-build (AUR/libmodbus) or (AUR/libmodbus-dev) version of this library to work with those devices. Safe to delete; no impact.
