[PRQ#46652] Deletion Request for armv8l-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-stage1
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 14 Nov '23

14 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for armv8l-linux-gnueabihf-gcc- stage1 [2]: Orphan ARMv8 cross-compiler toolchain package from 2017. For the 64-bit supporting ARMv8 platform, but for kernels running in 32-bit mode. I recommend deletion. It is not useful to keep as is. And only the few related toolchain packages depend on this, all of which are similarly old and abandoned.

[PRQ#46649] Deletion Request for armv8l-linux-gnueabihf-glibc
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 14 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for armv8l-linux-gnueabihf-glibc [2]: Unmaintained ARMv8 compiler toolchain package from 2017. For the 64-bit supporting ARMv8 platform, but for kernels running in 32-bit mode. PKGBUILD is wrongly arch=('any'). The build configuration targets the hard-coded Linux kernel version 2.6.32. I recommend deletion. It is not useful to keep as is. And only the few related toolchain packages depend on this, all of which are similarly old and abandoned.

[PRQ#49914] Deletion Request for welle.io-soapysdr
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 14 Nov '23

14 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for welle.io-soapysdr [2]: Unmaintained fork pkg of sdr-j-dab, last updated in Feb 2022. Seems unused on AUR. Reported defunct on GitHub in many use cases, see details below. AUR has a package for a still active continuation fork of the same origin, called qt-dab. [a] [Details] This fork seems to have become abandonware: - Last released in Feb 2022. [b] - After that, only 2 minor, inconsequential pull requests got merged, in Aug 2022. [c] - There are many issues reporting that it is defunct with many different setups, or crashes. [d] Developer no longer responds to issues or PR's. I recommend deletion. Users can get a much better experience with qt- dab, whose project actively addresses issues and feature requests.
