[PRQ#49875] Deletion Request for lib32-freeimage
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Apr '24

01 Apr '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-freeimage [2]: This library never seems to have had any consuming bin32/lib32 package to rely on it since 2014. Therefore I recommend deletion. It also does not follow Arch package guidelines like extra/freeimage does in relying on shared libraries; instead, it builds and bundles other libraries inside a static libfreeimageplus.a, like the old version of the following: libraw, openexr, libjpeg, libpng, libtiff4, zlib, openjpeg, libwebp, libjxr. Then it goes on to discard the bundled libfreeimageplus.a file. It seems safe to drop from AUR. No dependents, and last user comment is from 2016.

[PRQ#49494] Deletion Request for kmplayer
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Apr '24

01 Apr '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for kmplayer [2]: Broken media player, last released in 2016. Since that time, its Gitlab repo sees virtually only automated translation bump commits and mass deprecation adjustment commits and CI disablement commits. Officially it only supports xv (X Video Extension) and x11 video drivers, nothing else. It was dropped from repo in 2022, and it has only 1 vote on AUR. It is also broken, just like its unmaintained dependency, kmediaplayer. The latter is discontinued for KF6, so kmplayer also does not have a welcome place on the upcoming KDE Plasma 6 (ETA: Q1 2024). I recommend deletion: it is hardly uniquely useful, there are many alternatives that are much better. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/kmplayer/

[PRQ#49868] Deletion Request for hbacklight-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 31 Mar '24

31 Mar '24

a821 [1] filed a deletion request for hbacklight-git [2]: Package has been broken for over a year. I informed the maintainer but he never reacted. No votes, nothing requires it, no comments besides mine. Upstream has only 25 commits and development stopped in 2020. I recommend deletion.

[PRQ#49848] Deletion Request for mlt-python2-bindings
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 31 Mar '24

31 Mar '24

yochananmarqos [1] filed a deletion request for mlt-python2-bindings [2]: The project switched to Python 3 as of v6.18 in 2019. Nothing depends on this, may as well get rid of it. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/yochananmarqos/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/mlt-python2-bindings/

[PRQ#49830] Deletion Request for musescore-dev
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 31 Mar '24

31 Mar '24

yochananmarqos [1] filed a deletion request for musescore-dev [2]: This should have been submitted as a VCS package to begin with. Either way, there is currently no dev branch and this is using the master branch. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/yochananmarqos/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/musescore-dev/

[PRQ#49795] Deletion Request for mutate-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 31 Mar '24

31 Mar '24

a821 [1] filed a deletion request for mutate-git [2]: Orphan. Upstream development stopped in 2015. The PKGBUILD is broken due to missing `git` in makedepends and the deprecated `git://` protocol. After fixing it, it fails to build in a clean chroot as it was reported in 2016 in the comments. I doubt this will be fixed any time soon, so I recommend deletion.

[PRQ#49791] Deletion Request for auto-ytdl-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 31 Mar '24

31 Mar '24

xiota [1] filed a deletion request for auto-ytdl-git [2]: This package is for the maintainer's personal script. It no longer builds because of missing/broken dependencies. The author/maintainer has also abandoned the project. The git repo (https://github.com/michaelb/auto-ytdl) has the following notice: > I'm not updating this project anymore and some > dependencies (kdi3-cli) are now missing in > mainstream repos. It may be usable as-is from > sources, but there's no guarantee. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/xiota/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/auto-ytdl-git/
