[aur-requests] [PRQ#31788] Deletion Request for lib32-schroedinger
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 08 Oct '23

08 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-schroedinger [2]: This 10+ year old library is not needed anymore. (Actually the major release v1.0 is from 2008.) Even Arch has orphaned it. Current FFMPEG/libavcodec source includes a better alternative of the Dirac codec (which is Schroedinger's purpose as well). But FFMPEG's code has been maintained and improved since. (Its current Dirac codec actually is based on an improved version called SMPTE VC-2, previously known as BBC Dirac Pro.) For its only AUR dependent, lib32-ffmpeg-semifull-git, I've already submitted a deletion request, since that is completely dead, with 15+ missing dependencies. (And that package is not needed anyway, as there are working and up-to-date lib32-ffmpeg AUR packages.)

[PRQ#37587] Deletion Request for ft2tf
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 10 Nov '22

10 Nov '22

m040601 [1] filed a deletion request for ft2tf [2]: This PKGBUILD, "ft2tf" is obsolete and should be completely removed from the AUR. It's presence in the AUR is only confusing users. It used to be, like 10 years ago, a companion tool for fbpad. It has stopped being so a long time. It has been replaced by another tool, fbpad_mkfn As the author states in his homepage, http://litcave.rudi.ir/, ``` ... The fbpad_mkfn program (or its predecessor ft2tf) can generate fbpad font files ... ``` ``` ... Jan 2016: I have uploaded fbpad_mkfn, a replacement for ft2tf ... ``` It is not even listed anymore in the authors' git repos, Either, https://github.com/aligrudi/ or its original mirror, https://repo.or.cz/projlist.cgi?name=e4985eabe11cacf799a880921d7ab569 Pay also attention to this. If you check, https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/fbpad-git, you will find that, ``` Make Deps : git ft2tf ttf-dejavu ``` So it seems it is still needed right ? Wrong ! That "ft2tf" make dependency there is wrong. It is only there, because the "fbpad-git" AUR PKGBUILD, itself, is currently abandoned, and has not been maintained.

[PRQ#37586] Deletion Request for deepin-udis86
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 10 Nov '22

10 Nov '22

SamLukeYes [1] filed a deletion request for deepin-udis86 [2]: I don't see any reason why the pre-built binary from deepin should be used. Even if it is really needed, the `pkgname` should be changed to `lib32-udis86-deepin-bin`, and it should avoid the conflict to `udis86`.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 10 Nov '22

10 Nov '22

gustavo6046 [1] filed an orphan request for lib32-libxmp-git [2]: This package fails to build without critical PKGBUILD changes which I can apply to it. The maintainer is MIA and could not be contacted through e-mail. They may contact me to adopt it back later if necessary.
