[aur-requests] [PRQ#34778] Deletion Request for kate5-syntax-llvm
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 May '22

27 May '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for kate5-syntax-llvm [2]: Orphaned package, last updated in 2018, sources gone. This was only two syntax highlighting definition files for KDE's Kate text editor. They are not needed anymore. Since 1 Jan 2020 Kate has an integrated LSP (Language Server Protocol) client plugin, via which the editor can access helper modules for a large list of programming/markup languages. C/C++ helper is based on LLVM/Clang and it's already configured by default. https://kate-editor.org/post/2020/2020-01-01-kate-lsp-client-status/ Safe to delete this abandoned legacy package.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#34779] Deletion Request for networkmanager-openvpn-tls-crypt
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 May '22

27 May '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for networkmanager-openvpn-tls- crypt [2]: Orphaned package, build broken. It is a slight variation in build configuration for NetworkManager-OpenVPN v1.2.8, released in 2017. (Such old VPN software is likely insecure.) Don't think it's useful to keep. Also no one adopted it during the last year, so it seems not needed. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/networkmanager-openvpn-tls-crypt/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#34790] Deletion Request for lightdm-ubuntu
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 May '22

27 May '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lightdm-ubuntu [2]: Orphaned, last updated in 2016. Not needed by anything specifically. Arch hosts a much newer version of lightdm and liblightdm-qt5. AUR has an up-to-date package providing liblightdm-qt4. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/lightdm-ubuntu/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#34791] Deletion Request for teamsql
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 May '22

27 May '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for teamsql [2]: Discontinued in 2019. Sources deleted from GitHub master and from cloud hosting archives. Website removed. This was a commercially developed software, and the company decided to pull the plug and create a different application targeting some specific cloud databases. AUR package not worth keeping as it seems it's not salvageable. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/teamsql/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#34793] Deletion Request for networkmanager-secure
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 May '22

27 May '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for networkmanager-secure [2]: Abandoned package, last updated in 2018. (Flagged out-of-date in 2020, but not updated.) Package name misleading. This was not more secure than [extra] networkmanager. It added only one privacy feature (hostname sending disabled), while it weakened other security aspects with: - disabling stricter build warnings, - using obsolete iptables instead of nftables, - turning off audit library. It also disabled LTO, which degrades performance compared to the repo package. I strongly suggest to delete this package, as it has not been maintained by anyone in 4 years and does not really provide anything beneficial compared to [extra] networkmanager.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#34798] Deletion Request for libappindicator-ubuntu
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 May '22

27 May '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for libappindicator-ubuntu [2]: This package is redundant, I believe. Arch [community] libappindicator-gtk2 and libappindicator-gtk3 already builds the 2020 patched version of this library, whereas current AUR package was last updated in 2018. Safe to delete, no loss of function expected. I see no package in AUR that explicitly depend on this libappindicator variant.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#34807] Deletion Request for python2-mne-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 May '22

27 May '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-mne-git [2]: Obsolete VCS package. Python MNE now requires at least Python 3.7. Therefore Python 2 is not supported anymore. AUR has the Python 3 based python-mne package which works. This package is not needed by anything on AUR. Safe to delete. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python2-mne-git/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#34808] Deletion Request for python2-nibabel-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 May '22

27 May '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-nibabel-git [2]: Obsolete Python 2 based VCS package. Python nibabel now requires at least Python 3.6. Python 2 is no longer supported. AUR has the Python 3 based python-nibabel package which works. This package is not needed anymore. (It has 1 AUR dependent which is also pending deletion because that also no longer supports Python 2.) Safe to delete. No loss of function.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#34827] Deletion Request for python2-xlib-svn
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 May '22

27 May '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-xlib-svn [2]: Obsolete and orphaned VCS package. Source has been migrated to GitHub after 2015. AUR has the python2-xlib package which is maintained and up-to-date. Safe to delete, package no longer serves its former purpose.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#34828] Deletion Request for gtkdialog-svn
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 May '22

27 May '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gtkdialog-svn [2]: Orphaned legacy VCS package. Last updated in 2015. Source now points to GitHub, not to an SVN repo. But anyway, there is no development on this code since 2013 (neither in Google Code SVN, nor on GitHub mirror), so there is no need for a VCS package for this project. AUR has the 'gtkdialog' package which is maintained and seems to be kept in working order. Therefore it's safe to delete this obsolete VCS package.
