[PRQ#50078] Deletion Request for libwnck3-336
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 14 Jan '24

14 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for libwnck3-336 [2]: Unneeded legacy version of libwnck3 (v3.3.6, not v336); older duplicate of repo's libwnck3 (v43.0 atm). Declares that it provides and conflicts with libwnck3.

[PRQ#49656] Deletion Request for ksysguard-daemon
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 14 Jan '24

14 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ksysguard-daemon [2]: Bogus package from 2021, which uses wget to fetch the 'ksysguard' Arch package tarball not from the internet, but from the local pacman cache (if it isn't there, the packaging will fail). Then it unpacks the pacman package tarball and repackages only parts of it. It also uses mkdir to create the usr/bin dir, without setting its permissions. This kind of hackery is not allowed on AUR. Please delete this package. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/ksysguard-daemon/
