[PRQ#49800] Deletion Request for qt58
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 11 Jan '24

11 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for qt58 [2]: Unused Qt5 version from 2017. Source 404. If source gets fixed, it fails to build. I recommend deletion. Nothing depends on this, and last comments are from 2017. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/qt58/

[PRQ#51294] Deletion Request for sdrangelove-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 11 Jan '24

11 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for sdrangelove-git [2]: Not compatible with gnuradio 3.10 from repo, only with gnuradio 3.8. But the latter is unbuildable, and project devs declared that they won't fix it for lacking resources, and as that version is EOL since the beginning of 2022. sdrangelove's upstream is unmaintained since 2020, [a] so it is pointless to keep it around.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 10 Jan '24

10 Jan '24

[PRQ#46750] Deletion Request for xdwm
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 10 Jan '24

10 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for xdwm [2]: This dwm fork has not been developed since 2014. [a] The AUR package is broken: source URL leads to 404 not found. I recommend deletion. Nothing depends on it. The latest upstream dwm release is from 2022-10, and is available on AUR. [b] [a]: http://github.com/aperezdc/xdwm [b]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dwm [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/xdwm/

10 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gwinwrap-git [2]: Broken, abandoned Python2/Gtk2 VCS pkg from 2017. Reportedly failing since 2019, but no one fixed it. Upstream not developed since 2016.

[PRQ#46950] Deletion Request for python-demjson
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 10 Jan '24

10 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-demjson [2]: Discontinued since 2015. [a] I don't think it's useful to keep. There's a drop-in continuation fork, demjson3, [b], available on AUR. It provides 'python-demjson' virtually. [c] [a]: https://pypi.org/project/demjson/ [b]: https://pypi.org/project/demjson3/ [c]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-demjson3 [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-demjson/

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 10 Jan '24

10 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for tmux-tcl-git [2]: This fork of tmux has been discontinued since 2016, and is now thousands of commits behind upstream. [a] No use keeping this devel VCS package. [a]: https://github.com/ershov/tmux [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/tmux-tcl-git/

[PRQ#46569] Deletion Request for rq-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 10 Jan '24

10 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for rq-git [2]: Upstream was only actively maintained until 2016. [a] Then there were a few minimal housekeeping commits in 2021, and the repo is now archived. [a] So I recommend to delete this now-defunct VCS package. Also, extra/rq is a totally unrelated application, which is also developed in a Git repo, and whose upstream project is still alive. So it is better to free up this package name, to allow for the potential that someone might want to post a VCS PKGBUILD for that.

[PRQ#46953] Deletion Request for bulk-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 10 Jan '24

10 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for bulk-git [2]: Broken, unmaintained VCS package from 2017 for a trivial Bash script from 2016. [a] Not useful to keep. It is easy to execute the same command in multiple (sub)directories by piping an input from echo, ls or find to the xargs command. (One can use grep in the middle for excluding certain subdirs). [a]: https://github.com/shannonmoeller/bulk [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/bulk-git/
