by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 03 Oct '23

03 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for frcmake-git [2]: Orphan VCS package last updated in 2017. Upstream's last commits are from 2013. [a] It's hard to identify the exact purpose of this, based on the vague pkgdesc, because there's no readme in repo. But it seems unused so it's safe to delete from AUR.
