[aur-requests] [PRQ#36278] Deletion Request for covergloobus-dev
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 31 Jul '22

31 Jul '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for covergloobus-dev [2]: Last maintainer disowned the package after I requested a small change related to one of the Python 2 dependencies. It seems this application had its last release, v1.6, in 2010 [a], and its development was halted completely in 2015. [b] Its last 'dev' tarball release (v1.7.3), used by this package, was published in 2011. [c] "A standalone application to see what is playing in your favourite music player", it is based on Python 2 and Gtk2. Package has been defunct since Oct 2021, when python2-pyxdg has been dropped from Arch repos. No one complained. I've restored that missing depends recently to AUR, and managed to built this successfully. But the application itself just crashes due to not found Python 2 dbus module. AUR also has the last stable version in 'covergloobus' package (from 2010), and a defunct VCS package ('covergloobus-dev'). They also crash for the same reason. But as these latter two still have a maintainer, I have submitted the issues I'd found to them, and the question whether they consider these builds to be worth keeping and fixing. I am awaiting their answer. In the meantime, as the current 'covergloobus-dev' has no owner now and does not produce a working application, I suggest to delete this package from AUR.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#36277] Deletion Request for gsettings-qt-bzr
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 31 Jul '22

31 Jul '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gsettings-qt-bzr [2]: Orphaned VCS package, last updated in 2015. Development in its Bazaar repo got discontinued in 2017. [a] Since 2020, Ubuntu forked it into a new git repo, updated it and released a new version series (v0.2 instead of v0.1 a decade earlier). [b] Therefore this abandoned package is also obsolete. Better to delete. Arch still carries gsettings-qt, so dependent packages can use that.
