[aur-requests] [PRQ#35235] Deletion Request for java8-openjdk-jetbrains
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Jun '22

18 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for java8-openjdk-jetbrains [2]: Orphaned package, last updated in 2020. JetBrains has discontinued their fork of OpenJDK/OpenJRE 8 in 2020: https://github.com/JetBrains/jdk8u PKGBUILD was indicated as being broken in the last comment, which was submitted on 2020-06-05. There was no answer to that, nor any new messages on this package's AUR page. Nothing in AUR specifically depends on this, so it's safe to delete. Not useful to keep; both Oracle and numerous OpenJDK providers continue to release hotfix updates for JDK/JRE 8 LTS.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35234] Deletion Request for jdk8-jetbrains
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Jun '22

18 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for jdk8-jetbrains [2]: Orphaned package, last updated in 2020. JetBrains has also stopped updating their fork of OpenJDK-8 in 2020: https://github.com/JetBrains/jdk8u The hoster (Bintray) no longer provides the repo that used to supply the source tarball. Therefore this package is unbuildable in its current form. But there are no user comments and there is only one vote, so it seems no one needs this package anymore. Also, nothing in AUR specifically depends on this, so it's safe to delete. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/jdk8-jetbrains/

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Jun '22

18 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge python-stscitools [2] into python-stsci.tools [3]: Source package is orphaned and old, and is a duplicate of target package. The latter is current, up-to-date and properly maintained.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Jun '22

18 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for perl-if [2]: Discontinued as separate Perl pod; upstreamed to Perl itself. This package's version: 0.0601 (2010-12-01) Last version from CPAN: 0.0608 (2018-02-01) Contained in Perl-5.36.0: 0.0610 Separate package not needed.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Jun '22

18 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ruby-rmail-sup [2]: Not needed. Deprecated Ruby module from 2013, only 'sup' CLI email client used it, but now it uses another module, 'ruby-rmail' instead. Safe to delete, nothing depends on it on AUR or even on RubyGems.org. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/ruby-rmail-sup/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35215] Deletion Request for lib32-ffmpeg-steam
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Jun '22

18 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-ffmpeg-steam [2]: I believe this package is not needed anymore. Context: Steam for Linux includes its own version of multilib ffmpeg. I think this package was created as a temporary workaround in 2020 for the following bug found at the time in the ffmpeg version included in Steam for Linux: [Issue: VAAPI hardware decoding video freeze (amdgpu) (closed)] https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/7150 And it seems later, in Spring 2021, Valve fixed this issue by updating its internal FFMPEG to a newer version: [Thank you Valve for updating ffmpeg in Steam! Now I can stream with hardware decoding on AMD without crashing!] https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/n3g7m1/thank_you_valve_for_u… This current package links to a very old lib32-ffmpeg-compat, based on ffmpeg 3.4.2, released in 2018. As the post from 2021 mentions an ffmpeg update in the Steam runtime, it is logical to conclude that Steam now contains a newer ffmpeg than what this package links to. So I suggest to delete this package. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/lib32-ffmpeg-steam/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35214] Deletion Request for ffmpegthumbs-mattepaint
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Jun '22

18 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ffmpegthumbs-mattepaint [2]: Applet not updated since 2018, and since then it's been removed from hoster http://kde-look.org - seems it has been deprecated. Not compatible with current KDE ffmpegthumbs: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/cannot-build-ffmpegthumbs- mattepaint/111917 I suggest to remove this package.
