[aur-requests] [PRQ#36244] Deletion Request for python2-certifi
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 31 Jul '22

31 Jul '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-certifi [2]: This is not needed by any packages in AUR. I've uploaded it recently when restoring python2-requests to AUR, only to realized that it is not necessary. Python certifi is only a repackage of Mozilla's CA bundle. The official packaging for Python 2 has been discontinued 2 years ago, thereby this package is not as secure as it should be. But Arch maintainers of Py2 and Py3 packages have come up with a simple patch, applied to dependent packages in their prepare() function, to make the Python module use /etc/ssl/certs/ca- certificates.crt directly, delivered by Arch repo's ca-certificates- utils package. I've applied the same patch to AUR/python2-requests. So please kindly delete this unused package.

FabioLolix [1] filed a request to merge mutt-kz-git [2] into neomutt- git [3]: mutt-kz is deprecated is favour of neomutt, could be a good idea preserving the 15 votes [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/FabioLolix/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/mutt-kz-git/ [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/neomutt-git/

kseistrup [1] filed a request to merge timestamp [2] into timestampit [3]: Package has been renamed to avoid name collision with the "timestamp" packages from other Linux distributions, which has caused some confusion.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#36240] Deletion Request for gord-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 31 Jul '22

31 Jul '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gord-git [2]: This was a fork of cordless - which is also a cli client for Discord. Upstream cordless project's developer has been banned from Discord because using these clients are in violation of Discord's non- thirdparty-friendly Terms of Service. [a] Both the cordless and the gord GitHub repos have been archived. [b] [c] I suggest deletion, as (1) this client has no support or maintenance since Aug 2021 [d], and (2) because anyone using this risks getting banned from Discord, and (3) because this project has been discontinued, and anyone trying to continue its development would also likely be banned from Discord if they started testing and using it.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#36238] Deletion Request for alienvault-agent
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 31 Jul '22

31 Jul '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for alienvault-agent [2]: Orphaned package, version is from 2020. USM Anywhere and AlienVault are now part of "AT&T Cybersecurity". They don't seem to provide installation tarballs from their website. "USM Anywhere is a software as a service (SaaS) security monitoring solution that centralizes threat detection, incident response, and compliance management across your on-premises, cloud, or hybrid environments" "The AlienVault Agent is a lightweight endpoint agent based on osquery [...]. It enables endpoint detection and monitoring with central management, contributing to complete and effective threat visibility, detection, and compliance." As this package is abandoned, outdated, and there are no votes or comments, I suggest to delete it. I would think that only an "insider" (subscriber) to this service would possibly be able to adapt a PKGBUILD for the deployment of the current version. But this kind of software does not seem like one for a casual user to install on their own. Likely this requires centralized mass-deployment at an organization's fleet of client computers, providing customized configuration with that deployment.
