[PRQ#45890] Deletion Request for pyqt3
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for pyqt3 [2]: Broken Python2 Qt3 bindings, not needed. Only the broken 'kodos' package depends on it, which is a devtool for RegEx; there are many alternatives so I submitted that for deletion (PRQ#45887).

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ros2-galactic-xacro [2]: VCS package in disguise from 2021, but not needed: The ROS 2 Galactic distribution is EOL since 2022-12-09. [a] Their CI system won't ever build new releases of any applications like this, and the last (frozen) version is available from their binary repo. Users are encouraged to migrate to a newer distribution.

[PRQ#45882] Deletion Request for bootstrap5
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for bootstrap5 [2]: One-time effort orphan package from 2021, for the Bootstrap JavaScript front-end library. Current pkgver is for a beta release. It is not useful to have this on AUR. As this should be delivered to the web browser client by a server backend, and the packaging method depends on which web backend server framework is used.

[PRQ#45880] Deletion Request for rtl8814au-morrownr-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for rtl8814au-morrownr-git [2]: This package was submitted in 2022, with a wrong name. As this is a dkms module, should have '-dkms' in its pkgname. But there's already a correct AUR package for this, since 2017: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtl8814au-dkms-git (The latter also packages the driver maintained by the developer called 'morrownr'.) Please delete this unneeded duplicate. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/rtl8814au-morrownr-git/

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gpp-decrypt-git [2]: Executes sudo pip3 install for two different modules. @kleintux called this out in 2022-12, but maintainer did nothing.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gtfobins-explorer-git [2]: Problematic Python2 based package from 2022-05; maintainer unresponsive. PKGBUILD executes 'sudo pip2 install html2text', to install another package in system. @kleintux mentioned this problem in 2022-12, but owner did nothing. Better to delete this package.

[PRQ#45873] Deletion Request for python-websockify
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-websockify [2]: Unmaintained duplicate from 2021 of a much longer existing AUR package (since 2013): https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/websockify The latter has the correct name, as this is a Python-based server daemon with a built-in CLI interface. (There's also a websockify-git on AUR.) Also this package is broken due to having a python2 subpackage with missing dependencies. Safe to delete.

[PRQ#50005] Deletion Request for openstack-nova
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for openstack-nova [2]: Broken, unmaintained package, last updated in 2021-09. Owner MIA since 1.5+ year. Depends on many similarly outdated, defunct modules from same owner, and there are missing transitive dependencies. 0 votes, and only a few comments from 2021 and 2022. Upstream is very actively developed, and frequently pushes updates to PyPI, from where users can easily install the latest version.

[PRQ#45870] Deletion Request for emspring
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for emspring [2]: Broken scientific application from 2017, based on Python2, OpenGL, qt4-webkit and Java. Upstream and source missing: host unreachable. PKGBUILD also uses wget to fetch an undeclared source script, and executes python2-pip for installation. Nothing depends on this defunct package; I recommend deletion.

[PRQ#45867] Deletion Request for xosd-ex
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for xosd-ex [2]: Abandoned, broken variant from 2018 of repo's xosd. Should have been called xosd-xft or such, as mentioned by FabioLolix in 2018. But the patch is gone (404), and there's only one other comment, from 2021, mentioning this. I think it is safe to delete this now, for lack of interest in maintaining it.
