[aur-requests] [PRQ#34551] Deletion Request for kimtoy-frameworks-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 May '22

27 May '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for kimtoy-frameworks-git [2]: Deprecated VCS package. This fork has been discontinued in 2015. Upstream kimtoy in KDE repo got discontinued 3 years ago, and its git repo got inactivated 2 years ago. Arch [community] still carries the last stable version, v1.92, from 2016. No need for a VCS package for either the fork or for upstream kimtoy. Safe to delete, nothing depends on it.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#34550] Deletion Request for dotnet-cli-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 May '22

27 May '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for dotnet-cli-git [2]: Deprecated VCS package, unmaintained since 2017. .NET CLI repo was for CLI tools for the now obsolete .NET Core <= 3.0 runtime and SDK. .NET Core and .NET CLI has been discontinued in 2020. Microsoft is now working on a new, unified .NET5+ in a new GitHub repo. Arch carries the stable versions of: - .NET Core 3.x legacy runtime, cli and SDK. - .NET 6.x runtime, cli and SDK. This package is also not a proper VCS package, has multiple packaging issues. But anyway it is obsolete now and not needed anymore. Safe to delete. Nothing depends on it.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 May '22

27 May '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ntimed-git [2]: I suggest deletion of this deprecated VCS package. This was an alternative, experimental implementation of a Network Time Protocol (NTP) daemon. Project started in Dec 2014 and got abandoned in Jan 2015. There are several working and maintained alternatives for NTP daemons / clients as well as servers. Safe to delete. Nothing depends on this unfinished and deprecated software package.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 May '22

27 May '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for dotnet-coreclr-git [2]: Legacy VCS package, last updated in 2016. .NET Core has been discontinued in 2020. Microsoft is working on a new unified .NET runtime since .NET 5 in a new GitHub repository. Arch repos still carry the legacy .NET Core Runtime 3.1 as well as the new .NET Runtime 6 stable versions. Nothing depends on this now-obsolete VCS package. Safe to delete. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/dotnet-coreclr-git/

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 May '22

27 May '22

InstallerLegacy [1] filed a deletion request for gnome-games-libretro [2]: It can no longer be installed and is no longer needed as most libretro packages now include the description file, so there is file ownership problems.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#34535] Deletion Request for vkd3d-valve-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 May '22

27 May '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for vkd3d-valve-git [2]: This orphaned VCS package is tracking the legacy code repository of what has since become Valve vkd3d-proton. The last release tag on this is v1.1 from 2018. (Currently vdk3d-proton module is at v2.6.) I suggest to delete this old package. Development is happenning in a different repository for vdk3d-proton. (And also its upstream, wine-vkd3d has its own separate repository.) Its only dependent on AUR is the also-legacy VCS package of wine-valve-git, an orphaned package, and also unneeded (will submit a deletion request for that as well). There are working and up-to-date AUR packages providing the current vkd3d-proton module (both stable and VCS versions are available). These old versions of vkd3d-valve and wine-valve also exhibit build failures with gcc v10+. Therefore it's best to delete this obsolete package.

(And also its upstream, wine-vkd3d has its own separate repository.) Safe to delete as nothing depends specifically on this package. There are AUR packages providing the current vkd3d-proton module (both stable and VCS versions are available).
