[aur-requests] [PRQ#31788] Deletion Request for lib32-schroedinger
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 08 Oct '23

08 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-schroedinger [2]: This 10+ year old library is not needed anymore. (Actually the major release v1.0 is from 2008.) Even Arch has orphaned it. Current FFMPEG/libavcodec source includes a better alternative of the Dirac codec (which is Schroedinger's purpose as well). But FFMPEG's code has been maintained and improved since. (Its current Dirac codec actually is based on an improved version called SMPTE VC-2, previously known as BBC Dirac Pro.) For its only AUR dependent, lib32-ffmpeg-semifull-git, I've already submitted a deletion request, since that is completely dead, with 15+ missing dependencies. (And that package is not needed anyway, as there are working and up-to-date lib32-ffmpeg AUR packages.)

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35955] Deletion Request for arm-none-eabi-gcc60-linaro
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 07 Aug '22

07 Aug '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for arm-none-eabi-gcc60-linaro [2]: This legacy compiler from 2018 seems not needed anymore. Also its name seems not right; gcc60 implies gcc 6.0 from 2016, but its current version is 6.5 from 2018. Though as nothing depends on it on AUR, I recommend deletion, in order to ease maintenance burden. There are no user votes or comments that would indicate that anyone would protest. (Also, the main isl package has been adopted from AUR to Arch [core] under the name 'libisl'. As AUR in principle has to align with Arch repos, any isl* packages here should in theory be renamed to libisl*, and their dependents would need to change their depends arrays as well. But it is better to remove the truly unused legacy packages instead of pushing for effecting the former cross-maintainer changes for dozens of AUR packages.)

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35961] Deletion Request for mingw-w64-isl
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 07 Aug '22

07 Aug '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mingw-w64-isl [2]: Orphaned cross-compile package for (lib)isl, last updated in 2019. I suggest to delete it, as it seems not needed. Also, Arch [core] has adopted isl under the libisl name, so the name of this package is not proper when it comes to conformance to Arch standards. Safe to delete as nothing depends on it.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#36075] Deletion Request for python2-spectacle
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Aug '22

01 Aug '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-spectacle [2]: I suggest to delete this Mer/MeeGo Python 2 helper module, since it seems to have been discontinued years ago. (There was some Python 3 commit in 2020, but that is not relevant to this package.) MeeGo is now Tizen and focuses on cars I think. Nothing depends on this Python 2 module. So it's safe to delete. Also it helps to reduce AUR's Python 2 footprint (less packages for volunteers to try to maintain).

[aur-requests] [PRQ#36076] Deletion Request for python2-cheetah
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Aug '22

01 Aug '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-cheetah [2]: I suggest to delete this Python2-only module discontinued in 2010. Nothing actually needs it on AUR. Two dependents are now Python 3 based, the other two are obsolete and pending deletion. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python2-cheetah/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#36072] Deletion Request for sickbeard-mcmic
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Aug '22

01 Aug '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for sickbeard-mcmic [2]: This fork of the SickBeard Python2 based application has been discontinued in 2015. Package broken because of missing/defunct Py2 dep. I recommend to delete this package. No one commented on it, and nothing depends on it. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/sickbeard-mcmic/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35956] Deletion Request for cloog-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Aug '22

01 Aug '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for cloog-git [2]: This VCS package has not been maintained since 2018. It has a few problems so it is not proper; also it uses the old source repo so its version is frozen in time in 2015. As there do not seem to be a demand for fixing it (last comment is from 2018, apart from my remarks from May), I recommend to delete it. AUR has the stable package, cloog, which is maintained and up-to-date. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/cloog-git/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35957] Deletion Request for cloog-isl14
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Aug '22

01 Aug '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for cloog-isl14 [2]: This legacy version from 7+ years ago seems not needed anymore. It certainly is not depended upon by any AUR packages. So in order to ease maintenance burden, I recommend to delete this if there are no objections. There are no user votes or comments that would indicate that anyone would protest. (Also, the main isl package has been adopted from AUR to Arch [core] under the name 'libisl'. As AUR in principle has to align with Arch repos, any isl* packages here should in theory be renamed to libisl*, and their dependents would need to change their depends arrays as well. But it is easier to remove the truly unused legacy packages instead of pushing for effecting the former cross-maintainer changes.)

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Aug '22

01 Aug '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-isl [2]: Orphaned package, not needed anymore by anything in AUR. Also its native-build counterpart has been adopted into Arch [core] and renamed to libisl, so now this package's name is not proper. I recommend deletion.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35960] Deletion Request for isl17
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Aug '22

01 Aug '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for isl17 [2]: This legacy version from 2016 has its source deleted (404). But it seems it is not needed specifically by anything in AUR. So I recommend to delete this if there are no objections. (Also, the main isl package has been adopted from AUR to Arch [core] under the name 'libisl'. So all isl* packages on AUR should either be renamed in accordance, or deleted if not used.) [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/isl17/
