by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 03 May '22

03 May '22

yurikoles [1] filed a request to merge uefitool-ng-git [2] into uefitool-git [3]: There is no justification for this package, it's built from very same source.

[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MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-libmodbus-dev [2]: I suggest this outdated dev version lib32 library can be deleted.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.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#33867] Deletion Request for lib32-librsync
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 03 May '22

03 May '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-librsync [2]: Orphaned lib32 package. There are no dependents on AUR. Seem this is not needed, rsync can work fine on 64-bit systems, no application needs this in 32-bit on such systems. Therefore it's safe to delete this abandoned package.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#33877] Deletion Request for lib32-libtins
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 03 May '22

03 May '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-libtins [2]: Seems this orphaned lib32 library is not needed anymore. Package last updated in 2018. There are newer versions but no one adopted this package to update it. Only the native-build version, AUR/libtins has dependents, not this lib32 variant. There are no user comments, and the package has only one vote. Safe to delete; no impact. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/lib32-libtins/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#33879] Deletion Request for lib32-nas
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 03 May '22

03 May '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-nas [2]: Orphaned lib32 package, last updated in 2017. Nothing in AUR depends on it, only its native variant AUR/nas has dependents. There are no user comments since 2018. There is a newer version, but no one has noticed it. (I've flagged this now just to be on the safe side so that if anyone is using it, they'll be notified.) But I think it can be deleted as it's not been needed for a long time. (If anyone would need this orphan package, they could recreate it easily after the deletion from AUR git repo, and reupload an updated version.)
