[PRQ#52199] Deletion Request for dovecot-fts-flatcurve
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 14 Apr '24

14 Apr '24

HLFH [1] filed a deletion request for dovecot-fts-flatcurve [2]: It is currently a -git package. So it is an unoptimized duplicate of https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dovecot-fts-flatcurve-git, which is more optimised and working as it is working alongside with the dovecot-with-stemmer AUR package. dovecot-fts-flatcurve would never work with dovecot dep as it requires stemmer in the build, which dovecot-with-stemmer currently provides until the dovecot package integrates stemmer in its build. https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/dovecot/-/issues/1 [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/HLFH/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/dovecot-fts-flatcurve/

FabioLolix [1] filed a deletion request for gst-transcoder-git [2]: The github description states "deprecated, merged into gst-plugins- bad" https://github.com/pitivi/gst-transcoder.

[PRQ#52150] Deletion Request for mpdproxy-coffeescript-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 14 Apr '24

14 Apr '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mpdproxy-coffeescript-git [2]: Broken, unused package. Fails to build. Upstream not maintained since 2020. [a] Even if the needed makedepend is satisfied, the package is defunct: builds successfully, but does not install the needed mpdproxy executable. And btw the PKGBUILD executes 'npm install' inside prepare().

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 14 Apr '24

14 Apr '24

hvksmr1996 [1] filed a deletion request for dvm-bin [2]: This dvm-bin and the prior dvm-bin are different tools that serve different purposes. I don't know how could a maintainer handle it better than to delete it. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/hvksmr1996/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/dvm-bin/

[PRQ#52102] Deletion Request for stlport
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 14 Apr '24

14 Apr '24

PlasticSoup [1] filed a deletion request for stlport [2]: Package does not build. Build errors may be issues with newer versions of gcc. While using an older version may work, upstream has been inactive for 15 years and there isn't any apparent interest for this package.

[PRQ#52101] Deletion Request for nodejs-npm2aur
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 14 Apr '24

14 Apr '24

PlasticSoup [1] filed a deletion request for nodejs-npm2aur [2]: Package cannot be built in a clean root as it requires npm. While this is a quick fix, the package has not been updated in at least 8 years. Also upstream has been inactive for 11 years leaving this software to use very old dependencies.

[PRQ#51723] Deletion Request for gsettings-desktop-schemas-ubuntu
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 14 Apr '24

14 Apr '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gsettings-desktop-schemas- ubuntu [2]: This package is not useful at all for Arch Linux. It has been updated just now to Ubuntu's 44.0-1ubuntu1 (2023-03-31) release. Current latest stable Ubuntu version is: 45.0-1ubuntu1 (2023-09-19). Current Arch Linux extra repo version: 45.0-1 (built 2023-09-30, released 2023-10-09). This package just applies Ubuntu's patches from its debian/patches tarball dir. Both 44.0 & 45.0 Ubuntu versions have only one Ubuntu-specific patch in *debian.tar.xz [a]: - ubuntu_lock-on-suspend.patch (fixes an Ubuntu-only bug). Even if this PKGBUILD were promptly maintained, it would functionally just be a duplicate of extra/gsettings-desktop-schemas. But as of now, it mismatches the Arch repo version, and the current track record shows lack of adequate attention by AUR maintainers. [b] There is no package that would benefit from this variant at all on Arch Linux. And nothing on AUR specifically requires it. Therefore I propose to delete it, and it is safe to do so. [a]: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gsettings-desktop- schemas/45.0-1ubuntu1 [b]: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/log/?h=gsettings-desktop- schemas-ubuntu [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/gsettings-desktop-schemas-ubuntu/
