[aur-requests] [PRQ#35773] Deletion Request for python-fastecdsa-1.7.4
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 07 Jul '22

07 Jul '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-fastecdsa-1.7.4 [2]: Legacy version of this Python module, orphaned package. Not needed by anything on AUR, so it's safe to delete now. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-fastecdsa-1.7.4/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35778] Deletion Request for demimove
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 07 Jul '22

07 Jul '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for demimove [2]: This Python2 and Qt4 based 'mass file renamer GUI' has been discontinued 6 years ago, in 2016. I suggest deletion, as there are good alternatives that are well- maintained, like gprename for GTK and krename for Qt5/KDE; both are carried by Arch repos. No package depends on this so it's safe to delete. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/demimove/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35976] Deletion Request for bzr-gtk
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 07 Jul '22

07 Jul '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for bzr-gtk [2]: Broken Gtk frontend for Bazaar (bzr), the Python 2 based VCS client, discontinued by Canonical in 2017. This package doesn't work because it's incompatible with bzr's continuation fork, breezy, carried by Arch repos. Therefore I suggest to delete it, as it's not useful to keep. And the Python 2 based and deprecated bzr should not be used because if it works at all, it cannot be considered secure (Python 2 itself is EOL since 2020 and is not patched even for security vulnerabilities). There are alternative graphical frontends for Breezy, like zim, carried by Arch repos. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/bzr-gtk/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#36053] Deletion Request for bzr-bisect-bzr
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 07 Jul '22

07 Jul '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for bzr-bisect-bzr [2]: Discontinued in 2012. Python 2 based addon for Canonical's bzr. That was also Python 2 based, and its development stopped in 2017. Breezy is the Python 3 based continuation fork, carried by Arch repos. Any addons have to be developed to work with that, not the insecure and defunct Python 2 based bzr. I suggest to delete this now deprecated package. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/bzr-bisect-bzr/

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 07 Jul '22

07 Jul '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-pacparser [2]: Duplicates this: https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/pacparser/ Also this is much older than repo version (last updated in 2017).

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35693] Merge Request for arduino-pro-ide
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Jul '22

02 Jul '22

SuperNinja_4965 [1] filed a request to merge arduino-pro-ide [2] into arduino-ide-beta-bin [3]: As of March 1st, 2021 the Pro IDE became open source under the name of Arduino IDE 2.0. Its development is hosted in a new repository located at https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide. hence this package is no longer needed as a new package was created by another user.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35843] Merge Request for gitter
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Jul '22

02 Jul '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge gitter [2] into gitter-bin [3]: Has been renamed to gitter-bin, so I recommend an AUR merge to that. All comments on 'gitter' page actually pertain to the binary-sourced package. Maintainer @ljmf00 has indicated in 2020 that they would like to change the 'gitter' package to actually build from source. As that has been some time ago now, I suggest this merge, which will keep the comments on the gitter-bin page and 'hide' the 'gitter' package, until the maintainer (or someone else) creates and uploads the source- built one.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Jul '22

02 Jul '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for snappy-static [2]: I suggest to delete this unmaintained "static" variant of [extra] snappy. Nothing on AUR requires this specifically. A user asked a year ago if anyone is using this; no one answered. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/snappy-static/
