[aur-requests] [PRQ#34968] Deletion Request for mkinitcpio-nohooks-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Jun '22

18 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mkinitcpio-nohooks-git [2]: Orphaned, defunct package, last updated in 2020. Seems not needed. It was just a slightly modified packaging of Arch's mkinitcpio. Safe to delete. Nothing needs this package specifically.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#34965] Deletion Request for kata1-containers-bin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Jun '22

18 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for kata1-containers-bin [2]: Orphaned legacy v1 binary package related to the Kata Containers virtual machine management tool. Not needed as there are separate packages for the current line of releases on AUR. Safe to delete, as only some kata1-* packages have interdependencies on AUR and all of them are orphaned so they should be deleted as well.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#34961] Deletion Request for kubesec
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Jun '22

18 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for kubesec [2]: Orphaned package. The application itself is legacy. Last release happened in 2018; last commit was in 2019. This was a security module for Kubernetes, to manage 'secrets' (token keys, passwords, etc.) for cloud instances. The build is broken because of problems in the PKGBUILD itself. Also the code uses the now deprecated Golang Glide dependency manager. I think it's safe to assume that cloud security related management tools should be kept up-to-date, or otherwise cannot be trusted. 'Secrets' management is one of the central concepts and features of Kubernetes cloud management/instrumentation platform. Therefore I am certain that there do exist currently supported and maintained toolkits for such use cases and this old application is not needed anymore. It might be possible to make it build again but IMHO it's not worth the hassle, on the merits of the points above. Nothing depends on this on AUR so it's safe to delete.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#34946] Deletion Request for gnochm
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Jun '22

18 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gnochm [2]: I suggest to delete this Gtk2 and Python 2 based Microsoft Help File (CHM) viewer (GUI app). Project stopped in 2007 (15 years ago). Last user comments here are from 2015 and it seems the application was not able to function at that point in time. There are good, working applications/libraries to view and/or import/convert Microsoft CHM files. So this defunct one is not needed and not worth keeping in my opinion.
