[PRQ#51404] Deletion Request for perl-pdf-labels
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 28 Mar '24

28 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for perl-pdf-labels [2]: After dropping the defunct AUR/qle from 2017 with missing sources, this should be deleted as well. Last stable release is from 2001, and it has been reported failing compilation 3.5+ years ago. (Bug ID 132159: Linker fails [a]) The problem still persists as of this day. There is no upstream source repository / project / external website linked from the CPAN page. It is abandonware and cannot be used anymore, so there's no point in keeping it on AUR.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 28 Mar '24

28 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for icewm-utils [2]: Discontinued, unused Qt3 based configuration addons from 2004 to IceWM. Not compatible with the current IceWM in repo. Safe to delete. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/icewm-utils/

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 28 Mar '24

28 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for perl-tk-splash [2]: Safe to delete this broken Perl module (last release from 2014), after dropping its only consumer, the broken qle with missing sources (PRQ#51402).

28 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for perl-tk-fontdialog [2]: Safe to delete this broken Perl module (last release from 2017), after dropping its only (optional) consumer, the broken qle with missing sources (PRQ#51402).

[PRQ#51873] Deletion Request for libsynaptics
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Mar '24

26 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for libsynaptics [2]: Broken, discontinued, unused legacy Synaptics driver from 2007. Cannot be built due to missing dependency. Safe to delete: nothing depends on it. Nowadays, libinput handles even Synaptics touchpads well, but extra repo also carries the xf86-input-synaptics driver for legacy devices.

[PRQ#50481] Deletion Request for telepathy-morse-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Mar '24

26 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for telepathy-morse-git [2]: All telepathy-kde* packages have been dropped from Arch repos and also from AUR, because they have been discontinued by upstream since April 2023 and most of the connection modules were already defunct anyway. This package no longer has any existing and working telepathy-qt5 based IM applications to be used with. Also its upstream is abandoned since 2020.

[PRQ#50352] Deletion Request for nerolinux3
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Mar '24

26 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for nerolinux3 [2]: Defunct proprietary optical media burning software last released in 2009, needing a registration key to work. 32-bit software, so pkgname should have had the 'bin32-' prefix. Release archives are no longer offered by upstream, and the currently declared source array pointing to a file hosted by getsoft.sibnet.ru leads to a 404 not found error. I propose deletion: not useful to keep. Nowadays there are many good, free open-source alternatives for this use case.

[PRQ#50312] Deletion Request for lxd516
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Mar '24

26 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lxd516 [2]: Unneeded older version of extra/lxd. Conflicts with the repo package, so it does not conform to AUR submission guidelines that rules against duplicating repo packages, even if different versions. If there is a compatibility issue or defect in repo's lxd package, file a bug report. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/lxd516/

[PRQ#50660] Deletion Request for artwork-maia
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Mar '24

26 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for artwork-maia [2]: This is a defunct, unmaintained KDE Plasma 5.10 theme package from 5 years ago. I've tried it in 2019 and it had many missing icons and graphical inconsistencies. I doubt things would be any better now. Manjaro itself seems to have dropped the 'plasma5-themes-maia' and 'sddm-maia-theme' from their distro repo. (But again, the icon theme subpackage is also not useful anymore.) It does not help that this is a VCS PKGBUILD in disguise, as there's no upstream update since 2018.

[PRQ#50798] Deletion Request for vncscreen
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Mar '24

26 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for vncscreen [2]: Broken, unmaintained mobile application. During the last 1.5+ year, upstream only developed the Android port, not the KDE Plasma GUI. [a] Not useful to keep on AUR. Users can choose alternative GUI VNC clients that work.
