[PRQ#45442] Deletion Request for i586-elf-binutils
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Oct '23

27 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for i586-elf-binutils [2]: Abandoned, unused binutils package from 2018, targeting the Pentium i586. (Intel manufactured such 32-bit CPU's from 1993 to 2000). The corresponding gcc cross-compiler package was reported failing to build in 2017. Nothing depends on the latter, so it's safe to delete both.

[PRQ#45433] Deletion Request for lib32-allegro
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Oct '23

27 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-allegro [2]: Orphan lib32 package, last updated in 2019. Allegro 5 (current major version) was first released in February 2011. Linux has supported x86-64 since 2001. This package didn't have any dependents on AUR already in 2015, nor ever since. There are discrepancies with Arch repo's allegro build, which I pointed out in a comment a year ago, but no one responded. Apart from mine, last user comment is from 2017. So all in all I think it is best to delete this unneeded package. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/lib32-allegro/

[PRQ#45431] Deletion Request for lantern-beta
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Oct '23

27 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lantern-beta [2]: I propose to delete this package, as the project no longer publishes beta releases/tags (since 2017). Also this package is broken now, as it just tries to download a DEB file from raw.githubusercontent.com master branch, but the downloaded file is a txt, not a Debian package.

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for media-build-experimental- dkms [2]: Discontinued experimental Linux kernel module from 2015. [a] VCS package in disguise.
