[aur-requests] [PRQ#33976] Merge Request for font-victor-mono
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 19 May '22

19 May '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge font-victor-mono [2] into ttf- victor-mono [3]: This package, font-victor-mono is a duplicate of target package: both provide exactly the same TTF fonts. Target has the more proper name, aligning well with Arch font naming practices. Please kindly merge font-victor-mono to ttf-victor-mono and keep only the latter.

plutonem [1] filed a deletion request for clashr-bin [2]: This software has been abandoned by upstream. It can be noticed that the upstream url is now unavailable.

yochananmarqos [1] filed a deletion request for cmd-not-found [2]: Packages should not touch a user's home folder. pkgfile already does this, anyway. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/yochananmarqos/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/cmd-not-found/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#33970] Deletion Request for ngtcp2-notls-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 19 May '22

19 May '22

nekgem2 [1] filed a deletion request for ngtcp2-notls-git [2]: i used to maintain this because ngtcp2-git didn't build without special openssl version & also had branch pinned, but now both of these are fixed (links with gnutls, uses main branch) and i don't have any use of this myself, and it appears that no one uses this according to vote count & reverse deps, so it's probably completely useless at this point [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/nekgem2/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/ngtcp2-notls-git/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#33967] Deletion Request for pdf-redact-tools
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 19 May '22

19 May '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for pdf-redact-tools [2]: I suggest it's best to delete this package. Discontinued tool, GitHub repo deactivated (archived) by developer. Its last release was in 2017. In 2020, the developer deprecated the tool and added a warning that it is likely unsafe: it uses ImageMagick to try to sanitize potentially malicious PDF files, but ImageMagick is notorious for its vulnerabilities and insecure architecture. Developer recommends people use another tool, which is 'much better' according to them: AUR/dangerzone. That serves the same purpose and is designed in a more secure fashion. Nothing depends on this package. Safe to delete; no harmful impact. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/pdf-redact-tools/

I can keep it more up-to-date than sxiii. thank you [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/eskalvarado/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/nanominer-cuda/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#33929] Deletion Request for vdr-api
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 19 May '22

19 May '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for vdr-api [2]: This dummy package is not useful and not required. It was created to accommodate some AUR helpers that lack such a basic and necessary feature as handling the provides entries on AUR during dependency resolution. (I am using yay and paru, both handle them well.) This package was created for AUR/vdr. That package now has a versioned provides - currently this: provides = vdr-api=2.6.1 This package, vdr-api, was not kept up to date with the above, as it currently has pkgver=2.4.7 Yet, dependents requiring vdr-api=2.6.1 can be installed just fine by paru and yay, because AUR/vdr provides exactly that. No need for this (outdated) intermediary dummy package. Example dependent that I tried and which installs fine without even requiring AUR/vdr-api: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vdr-play Safe to delete, as its now incorrect version proves my point. No users have complained that they couldn't install dependents of AUR/vdr because of a version mismatch. Guess they use a proper AUR helper like paru or yay or something on par with them, and their tool of choice was able to resolve the dependency correctly without AUR/vdr-api as a dummy intermediary.
