[PRQ#45968] Deletion Request for barbarian
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 16 Nov '23

16 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for barbarian [2]: Ababdoned package from 2020; source tarball hosted in AUR repo; no upstream URL. A commenter linked one possible GitHub source in 2020, which has been abandoned since that year, and it seem like a student project, with only 59 commits.

[PRQ#45945] Deletion Request for lib32-sni-qt
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 16 Nov '23

16 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-sni-qt [2]: Unmaintained, broken optional addon from 2017 for lib32-qt4. It got dropped from repo in that year, and no one ever updated it on AUR since. Its functionality is mostly cosmetic, to enhance the QSystemTrayIcons with status indicators. I think it's only a slight 'nice to have' feature, but it seems no one felt it to be worth the trouble to work on this, so it's best to drop it at this point.

[PRQ#45944] Deletion Request for wasteland2
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 16 Nov '23

16 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for wasteland2 [2]: Seems to be an unmaintained package from 2016. Owner did not respond to PKGBUILD enhancement request made 2 years ago. Also it is not useful to keep this package. It is intended for a GOG release of a game, but uses an unrelated upstream URL that now shows 404. For the source file, there's no link at all - so it does not use a GOG downloader nor a direct file link. Also the package name is wrong and misleading. Not just because it doesn't include the customary '-gog' qualifier, but also because GOG now distributes two different versions of the game: - 'Deluxe Edition' of the Director's Cut version - 'Classic Eition' of the Director's Cut version I think it's best to delete this package. It's easier to install the game version of the user's choice manually, or using a game manager frontend like Lutris.

[PRQ#45941] Deletion Request for 5up
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 16 Nov '23

16 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for 5up [2]: Abandoned, broken package. Depends on lib32-qt4, which has been failing to build for a year. Though this build is not configured to make a 32-bit compilation. Upstream development discontinued since 2013.

[PRQ#45940] Deletion Request for qjsonrpc
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 16 Nov '23

16 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for qjsonrpc [2]: Unused library abandoned by upstream since 2016. [a] VCS package in disguise. Was originally developed for Qt4, and the Qt5 port seems to have been discontinued in its early stages. Based on the commit history, only Qt 5.0 and 5.1 was targeted. As nothing depends on this, I recommend deletion. [a]: https://bitbucket.org/devonit/qjsonrpc/commits/ [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/qjsonrpc/

[PRQ#48319] Deletion Request for mono5
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 16 Nov '23

16 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mono5 [2]: No package requires this legacy Mono version, which is EOL since 2019. The build is broken as per reported multiple times since 2020-09. Also, this conflicts with extra repo's newer mono. As such, it violates the AUR submission guidelines (AUR packages should not create different or same version builds of repo packages. Non-conflicting builds are okay if there is a need for a different version of the package.) It's safe to delete this superfluous package.
