[PRQ#49364] Deletion Request for archiso-encrypted
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Mar '24

18 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for archiso-encrypted [2]: Unmaintained addon/mod for archiso from Feb 2022. [a] Wrongly configured quasi-VCS package based on the zip archive of the main branch, with md5sums=('SKIP'). Wrongly declares that it provides 'archiso', despite it also depending on 'archiso'. Wrongly uses mkdir and cp inside package(); does not correctly set file and dir ownership and permissions. 2 votes, 0 comments. I don't think this is used by or useful for users. [a]: https://gitlab.com/ia-projekt-zespolowy-2021-2022/livecd- encryption/-/commits/main [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/archiso-encrypted/

[PRQ#49347] Deletion Request for libpcl
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Mar '24

18 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for libpcl [2]: This EOL library was last released in 2010. Current source and upstream URL leads to 404 not found error. Not useful to keep this package: the only functioning and actively maintained packages that could utilize it are AUR/ocserv and ocserv- git, but actually ocserv upstream tree contains the project's own maintenance fork of pcl, which at this point should be the preferred version of the pcl library when building ocserv. (That pcl code was last updated 4 months ago as of this writing, as opposed to 13 years ago for the original libpcl.) I've submitted a comment on each packages' AUR page to inform maintainer and the community about this situation, and the recommended resolution, to remove depends=libpcl from those PKGBUILDs.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Mar '24

18 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ketchup-git [2]: Defunct VCS package from 2016 due to unbuildable dependency with missing source. Upstream not developed for 3+ years.

[PRQ#49720] Deletion Request for alsa-lib-x205ta
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 17 Mar '24

17 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for alsa-lib-x205ta [2]: Unused, not much maintained duplicate of repo's alsa-lib, typically lagging behind upstream's and repo's latest release by 6-12+ months. Targeted for an 11" Asus netbook with 1.33GHz CPU and 2GB of RAM, released to market in 2014. The difference between this and repo's package is only the inclusion of configuration files here, easy to add beside the regular alsa-lib package as well. Therefore I don't think it's useful to keep on AUR, and also there's no evidence anyone is using it beside maintainer (if he does at all).
