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

07 Aug '22

GPereira [1] filed a deletion request for cp210x-dkms [2]: This module is part of the linux package (linux kernel) now. It does not make sense to exist anymore. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/GPereira/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/cp210x-dkms/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#36775] Deletion Request for python-libguestfs
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 07 Aug '22

07 Aug '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-libguestfs [2]: This package is obsolete and redundant since q1 2020. From that time, the main libguestfs release tarball contains the sources of the Python bindings. Also, these bindings are for v1.40.2 (2019-02-08), whereas current libguestfs is at v1.48.1 in Arch repo (and 1.48.4 stable got released recently). Arch/community/libguestfs includes the correct Python 3 bindings. This AUR package builds Python 2 bindings as well, but also the outdated version of them from 2019. However, as nothing depends on this package on AUR, I recommend deletion. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-libguestfs/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#36776] Deletion Request for kdbus-ck
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 07 Aug '22

07 Aug '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for kdbus-ck [2]: The kdbus out-of-tree Linux module has not been mainlined to the proposed Linux 4.3. Instead, it seems it has been discontinued after 2017. [a] [b] This package was last updated in 2015 and was compatible with Linux 4.3. I think it is better to delete it, as it is defunct and cannot even be built.

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for kdbus-git [2]: The kdbus out-of-tree Linux module has not been mainlined to the proposed Linux 4.3. Instead, it seems it has been discontinued after 2017. [a] [b] This VCS PKGBUILD was last updated in 2015 and is following the branch for the Linux 4.1 version of this module. I suggest to delete this package, because it is obsolete.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#36785] Deletion Request for xmpppy
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 07 Aug '22

07 Aug '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for xmpppy [2]: Orphaned Python 2 package, last updated in 2018. None of its two AUR dependents work anymore. Package name is wrong - it's library, should be python2-xmpppy. AUR has a python-xmpppy-git and python2-xmpppy-git - so if this 4-year-outdated package is deleted, those can be used - or a new stable package can be created under the proper python library name.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#36782] Deletion Request for yahoo-t
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 07 Aug '22

07 Aug '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for yahoo-t [2]: Orphaned Python 2 package, last released in 2007. This was an experimental module aiming to allow using Jabber.org's XMPP based chat/IM service and also log into the "Yahoo! Messenger" IM service. The latter service has been discontinued in 2018 according to Wikipedia. So there is no point in keeping this obsolete package.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#36786] Deletion Request for gdm3setup-utils
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 07 Aug '22

07 Aug '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gdm3setup-utils [2]: This Python 2 based orphan package was last updated in 2015 and its last consumer has recently been deleted from AUR because it was defunct. So now I recommend to delete this as well, because GDM is at version 42 and not 3. Not even AUR has a gdm3 package.
