[PRQ#50307] Deletion Request for python-gto
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-gto [2]: This new package is a CLI application; should be named 'gto' @naetherm, thank you for sharing your PKGBUILD. Please kindly change the pkgname to 'gto' and resubmit as AUR/gto, to align with Arch Python package guidelines.

[PRQ#49043] Deletion Request for ffmpeg-nonvidia
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ffmpeg-nonvidia [2]: By the name of this package, it is essentially a duplicate of extra/ffmpeg: 'nvidia-utils' is only an optional dependency of the latter, so it provides the same functionality if nvidia-utils is not installed. Any other minor discrepancies just mean that this package is named wrongly for how it is different from repo's ffmpeg. There's already an AUR/ffmpeg-amd-full; this package is actually minimally different from that. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/ffmpeg-nonvidia/

[PRQ#50197] Deletion Request for apache-ant-cpptasks
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for apache-ant-cpptasks [2]: This legacy, beta version ant build addon from 2008 is not used by any other PKGBUILDs on AUR. Therefore I recommend deletion. Upstream project discontinued since 2008, without ever having produced a stable release. Even Apache Ant itself is considered a legacy build tool, not used in new projects, only in old ones that still rely on it. So there's no chance that this niche experimental cpp build addon is widely needed. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/apache-ant-cpptasks/

[PRQ#49125] Deletion Request for i2p-controller
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for i2p-controller [2]: Unused PyQt4 application from 2013. I recommend deletion. Also it doesn't seem useful to keep, as PyQt4 itself is broken on Python 3.12, therefore this is defunct on it as well.

[PRQ#50823] Merge Request for ibus-table-mongol-bichig-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge ibus-table-mongol-bichig-git [2] into ibus-table-others [3]: 'ibus-table-mongol-bichig' is no longer maintained by its upstream, and its contents are now part of 'ibus-table-others'. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/ibus-table-mongol-bichig-git/ [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/ibus-table-others/

[PRQ#49529] Deletion Request for amarok-scripting
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for amarok-scripting [2]: Broken, unused legacy version of an EOL application. It's unlikely to be in use now. There's still amarok and amarok-git on AUR. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/amarok-scripting/

[PRQ#49245] Merge Request for stack-static
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge stack-static [2] into stack-bin [3]: Eliminating duplication, and initiating that only the correctly named and configured package is kept. 'stack-static' uses foreign-built release tarballs, so pkgname has to have a '-bin' suffix. Also 'stack-static' doesn't set file permissions properly, because it uses mkdir and cp inside the package() function instead of utilizing the install command. It also has an incorrect replaces array. Both are up-to-date, but 'stack-bin' also has the rule-conforming name and is packaged well. Both provide 'stack', so AUR packages that depend on that can use stack-bin without any issue.

[PRQ#49295] Merge Request for qt-avif-image-plugin-libavif-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge qt-avif-image-plugin-libavif-git [2] into qt5-avif-image-plugin-git [3]: Eliminating duplication; also 'qt5-avif-image-plugin-git' has the more appropriate name and is packaged better. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/qt-avif-image-plugin-libavif-git/ [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/qt5-avif-image-plugin-git/

[PRQ#49762] Merge Request for libbladerf-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge libbladerf-git [2] into bladerf- git [3]: Eliminating duplication. Extra repo's name for this is bladerf. Both VCS packages are for the same library.

[PRQ#49928] Merge Request for dsd
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge dsd [2] into dsd-git [3]: 'dsd' is a disguised, wrong VCS package, using master.tar.gz as source. Also, the original dsd upstream is essentially dead, unmaintained. So 'dsd-git' now builds the actively developed successor fork.
