by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Dec '23

21 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for freetype2-ultimate5 [2]: Unmaintained modded older version of freetype2 (last updated: 2023-04-18 for v2.13.0; last repo pkg update: 2023-09-01 for v2.13.2). Infinality font rendering mods have been EOL'ed in 2019-2020, and are officially declared dead in 2021, with admittedly known font rendering glitches on current versions of freetype2. [a] Upstream has removed support for the infinality setting in v2.13.2. Not useful to keep this package anymore.

[PRQ#46699] Deletion Request for ironpython
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Dec '23

21 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ironpython [2]: Unmaintained old package from 2018, with a wrong name (should have been ironpython2). This is a Python2 interpreter & runtime for Mono/Dotnet. Meanwhile upstream has released IronPython3 (for Python3). Not useful to keep this defunct package. Nothing depends on it.

[PRQ#51798] Deletion Request for weblate
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Dec '23

21 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for weblate [2]: Disowned, broken Python/Django based web server application for software localization teams. Last updated: 2023-03-08. Submitter @BubuIIC's commented on the same date that they'll stop running this on Arch and won't carry on maintainership of this package. They also remarked that it's unlikely that anyone else was using this package, and it is a pain to maintain, due to frequently mismatching dependency versions between this application's needs and those available in Arch repositories. AUR votes: 0; comments: only 1. It also relies on many now long abandoned AUR dependencies that were only used by this package. Therefore it is not beneficial to keep here any longer. People who need this are best served by using other means of deployment and update management, e.g. Python venv, Docker, etc. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/weblate/

[PRQ#51807] Deletion Request for python-orange3-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Dec '23

21 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-orange3-git [2]: Broken since at least March 2022, submitted and abandoned since 2021. This is an application, so the 'python-' prefix is wrong. 0 votes/comments. Stable application lives at: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-orange Yes, that one also does not follow ArchWiki's Python package guidelines when it comes to naming, but at least that package works, has many comments and votes, and is actively maintained.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Dec '23

21 Dec '23

proledatarian [1] filed a deletion request for sherlock [2]: Package is neither maintained in the AUR nor upstream, it's not widely used and the name can be easily confused with sherlock-git, which has nothing to do with this package.
