[aur-requests] [PRQ#35056] Deletion Request for gerty-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Jun '22

27 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gerty-git [2]: I think this VCS package can be deleted From project readme: Gerty is the automation tool for network operation tasks, like: * Collecting status and configuration data * Executing remote commands * Parallel, massive execution Various management access interfaces are available: * Telnet/SSH command line * SNMP * NETCONF * TL/1 "Project status: preparing for a release" That was still the case 5 years ago, in 2017. Then everything stopped, project seems abandoned. I believe it is not useful in this frozen prerelease state. There are many network management automation tools available nowadays. Nothing depends on it. Safe to delete. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/gerty-git/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35027] Deletion Request for rtv
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for rtv [2]: Reddit Terminal Viewer - project shut down in 2019. Dropped from Arch repo: 2021-05. Revival / continuation fork that is new and working: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tuir I think this abandoned application is not needed and can be deleted from AUR.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35001] Deletion Request for lib32-cloog
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Jun '22

27 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-cloog [2]: I suggest for easing maintenance burden that this package is not needed and can be deleted. Even for compiling multilib gcc it seems only the native build of cloog is used, not its lib32-on-64-bit variant. Nothing depends on this package. Arch has adopted the former AUR/isl package under the name 'libsl'. This is causing problems while other AUR isl packages get renamed, and AUR depemdents switch over to using libisl, not isl. So the less unneeded consumers of the legacy packages isl or lib32-isl, the better. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/lib32-cloog/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#34982] Deletion Request for bin32-jre7
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Jun '22

27 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for bin32-jre7 [2]: Orphaned package, last updated in 2017. Oracle blocks access to the linked policy file, and the declared Dropbox source is gone. This package was a 32-bit binary JRE 7 for x86_64 architecture. The reason for this package being uploaded is a mystery to me, I can only imagine it comes from some misunderstanding. The Java Virtual Machine and Runtime Environment executes hardware-agnostic Java bytecode. Therefore there is no 32- or 64-bit Java application. All JRE/JVM can execute any Java bytecode that was byte-compiled to at least that Java platform runtime ABI version. I can think of no reason whatsoever to execute a 32-bit Java Virtual Machine on a 64-bit platform. Anyway, package is long orphaned and nothing depends on it. Safe to delete.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#34977] Deletion Request for jdk9
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Jun '22

27 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for jdk9 [2]: EOL since March 2018, no extended support. Download 404 (funtoo.org) behind loginwall (Oracle). I am submitting this deletion request for consideration. I don't think this package is needed anymore. Arch still carries jre8-openjdk, and Oracle offers paid access to Oracle JDK 8 but not for 9. Rationale for deletion: 1- If this package cannot be salvaged, it is essentially just spam on AUR. There are already too many legacy JRE and JDK packages here. 2- EOL since 2018, therefore insecure. No one should use it, there are alternatives for secure legacy versions. Please consider and do as you see fit. :) [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/jdk9/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35240] Deletion Request for auto-xflux
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Jun '22

26 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for auto-xflux [2]: Small script addon from 2018 to the now unsupported and broken xflux (screen 'night light' yellow tint addon for X.org display server). The latter has been essentially disrecommended by its own developers since 2019; development lingers. I think this script is not needed anymore; almost no one could use xflux now on modern systems.
