[PRQ#49757] Merge Request for iortcw
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Feb '24

21 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge iortcw [2] into iortcw-git [3]: Upstream's last stable release was in 2019 [a], which is what AUR/iortcw was for. Sadly, it depends on the nonexistent libbloom. 'iortcw-git' is a fresher PKGBUILD, and it no longer requires libbloom. Upstream's master branch is actively developed. It makes sense to keep only the git package, as that is the only working one. [a]: https://github.com/iortcw/iortcw/tags [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/iortcw/ [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/iortcw-git/

21 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mingw-w64-libevent [2]: Clean of unmaintained, but unneeded library, after deleting its defunct, unused consumer from 2015 with missing source: mingw-w64-ccnet (PRQ#51186).

[PRQ#51842] Deletion Request for libmemcache
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Feb '24

21 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for libmemcache [2]: Unused, broken client library implementation by FreeBSD; discontinued since 2006. [a] Safe to delete, as nothing on AUR depends on it, and even original submitter commented last year that they no longer have any downstream consumer applications to use or test this with. [a]: https://people.freebsd.org/~seanc/libmemcache/ [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/libmemcache/

[PRQ#49167] Merge Request for traxtor
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 19 Feb '24

19 Feb '24

gtsiam [1] filed a request to merge traxtor [2] into tractor [3]: These two are the same package. I'm separately trying to update that package to build directly from source. Since upstream (and debian) chooses the name tractor, we should use that instead.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 19 Feb '24

19 Feb '24

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

18 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for rxvt-unicode-downgrade [2]: (Slightly older) duplicate of repo's rxvt-unicode. This is not allowed by AUR submission guidelines [a]: “ * The submitted PKGBUILDs must not build applications already in any of the official binary repositories under any circumstances. Check the official package database for the package. If **any version of it exists**, do not submit the package. If the official package is out- of-date, flag it as such. **If the official package is broken or is lacking a feature, then please file a bug report.** “ (**emphasis** mine) [a]: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_submission_guidelines [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/rxvt-unicode-downgrade/
