by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Nov '23

26 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for qtcreator-sourcetrail- plugin-git [2]: Cleanup of long-broken, long-abandoned, unused Qt Creator plugins that still depend on the obsolete 'qtcreator-src' package instead of the correct 'qtcreator-devel', available in extra repo.

[PRQ#48560] Merge Request for paintstorm-bin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Nov '23

26 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge paintstorm-bin [2] into paintstorm [3]: Eliminating duplication. Paintstorm is a closed-source application, so the pkgname shouldn't have a '-bin' suffix. Currently both packages are unmaintained. I've triggered AUR/paintstorm to be orphaned. Please adopt it and update it.

[PRQ#48455] Deletion Request for avahi-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Nov '23

26 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for avahi-git [2]: Abandoned, long-broken, unmaintained VCS package from 2020. (Still has dependency on Python2 modules.) It doesn't actually make sense to keep this in AUR, for the reason as follows. Upstream hasn't released any new versions since 2020, but there are regular maintenance and improvement commits on the git master branch. Because of that, Arch extra repo avahi package maintainers regularly update that PKGBUILD to catch up with the git master. Therefore the repo package is very much like a git build - one that gets refreshed with reasonable cadence. So even if this AUR package got a new maintainer who invested their time and effort to fixing it, most of the time the built package would contain exactly the same code as repo's avahi.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Nov '23

26 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-doit-git [2]: Abandoned, broken Python2/Python3 VCS package from 2017. Last comment apart from mine is from 2014. I think it is better to delete this. Not useful to keep as is, without anyone to maintain it. Repo carries the stable package. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-doit-git/
