21 Jan '24

Ashark [1] filed a deletion request for netctl-gui-qt4 [2]: This package is abandoned (however, the author seems to be seen online in september 2023). It is made for qt4 and kde4. The kde part has unexisting dependency. The same author has a qt5/kde5 version packages. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/Ashark/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/netctl-gui-qt4/

[PRQ#52446] Deletion Request for wine-wl-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Jan '24

21 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for wine-wl-git [2]: Not useful to keep. Not just because pkgname is too cryptic (wl instead of wayland), but mainly because there's no permanent upstream wayland branch. Instead, developer just creates different temporary feature branches to send as Merge Requests, which, when completed, get incorporated into main wine branch. The currently defined 'wayland' feature branch in source array has not been updated since 2023-02 [a], and is much older than upstream master branch wayland code - which has continued to receive newer Wayland enhancements all throughout the year 2023. Therefore AUR/wine-git builds from a source which has majorly better Wayland support - that one should be checked if something needs to be done on packager's side or not, to enable it.

[PRQ#50311] Deletion Request for gnupg23
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Jan '24

21 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gnupg23 [2]: EOL since 2022-12, as v2.3 was not an LTS release. Also pkgname does not conform to Arch package guidelines that call for attaching only the major version number to the name (otherwise one should add dots, for e.g. 'gnupg-2.3'). Safe to delete this unsafe, unneeded package. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/gnupg23/

[PRQ#46893] Deletion Request for linux-libexplain51
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Jan '24

21 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for linux-libexplain51 [2]: This package violates AUR submission guidelines by using a binary release of an open-source library without having a '-bin' suffixed pkgname. It does not seem to be used by anyone apart from the submitter (0 comments/votes). [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/linux-libexplain51/

[PRQ#46895] Deletion Request for linux-explain-bin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Jan '24

21 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for linux-explain-bin [2]: This PKGBUILD puts the extracted tarball files directly inside the package without setting their ownership and access attributes properly. It seems no one is using this apart from the submitter. This application and its library is also last released in 2014 and seems not maintained anymore. Its dependency is also a foreign binary built in 2014. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/linux-explain-bin/

[PRQ#46887] Deletion Request for python-numpy1.22
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Jan '24

21 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-numpy1.22 [2]: Unmaintained legacy package, uploaded on 2022-07-23 and never changed. It is broken since Python 3.11, because it hardcodes Python 3.10 during testing. The build warns that Python 3.11 is not supported. Then, it fails, because the current Cython version is also unsupported. Nothing on AUR depends on this package. And it is not useful to keep, as it conflicts with the current python- numpy. Safe to delete, no impact on other users. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-numpy1.22/
