[PRQ#48781] Deletion Request for openssh-xdg
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Feb '24

27 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for openssh-xdg [2]: Unmaintained duplicate of core/openssh, with minimal modification. Outdated since March 2023. XDG specification support is a fundamental goal of Arch Linux. If a repo package could be enhanced to better respect that spec, one should file an upstream issue and/or an Arch Linux bug with a suggested patch, instead of recreating Arch repo builds on AUR.

[PRQ#51426] Deletion Request for iradit
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Feb '24

27 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for iradit [2]: Broken, unused Qt4 based VCS package in disguise from 2015. Spanish language only; it seems this was an online radio streaming (broadcasting) solution. Not worth fixing and reviving. Upstream GitHub repo abandoned since 2014. [a] Upstream page missing (404). [b] Dependency chain also broken, unbuildable. There are working alternatives for this use case. Deleting this allows dropping some other similarly old, defunct, abandoned dependencies from same submitter that also violate packaging standards, like installing prebuilt binary SO files instead of building from the source code present in the same tarball, with pkgnames lacking the '-bin' suffix.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Feb '24

27 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-pyflux [2]: Abandoned, broken package from 2017; upstream is also discontinued since. Last release was in 2017. [a] The GitHub repo is unchanged since 2018. [b] Fails in check() with lots of errors (16 failing test case). And even more broken on Python 3.12: cannot even be built with it. Safe to delete, as nothing depends on this library, and there are no votes or comments. [a]: https://pypi.org/project/pyflux/ [b]: https://github.com/RJT1990/pyflux/ [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-pyflux/
