[PRQ#46365] Deletion Request for star-meta
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Dec '23

26 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for star-meta [2]: This declares itself as a meta-package, but in fact it is created to circumvent pacman and force-install 70 or so Raku modules to the system, to Raku's vendor directory, from an online repository. It does so via a post-install script in the package, therefore it will install those modules as root and pacman won't be able to do anything about it, nor will it remove them if the user removes this package.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Dec '23

26 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for wlroots-no-axrgb-assert-git [2]: Unneeded variant from 2021 of wlroots-git. Contains a quick and minimal patch to avoid an earlier issue with NVIDIA. That has been fixed by upstream in January 2022 [a], as a commenter was kind enough to mention here.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gnome-manual-duplex [2]: Broken Python2/Gtk2 pkg from 2021. Upstream discontinued since 2020. Package declares Python2 bindings (gobject) for Gtk3 but it needs the Gtk2 variant. I recommend deletion.
