[PRQ#41485] Orphan Request for frappe-bench
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Jul '23

01 Jul '23

Spixmaster [1] filed an orphan request for frappe-bench [2]: The package is actually flagged outdated for months. I reset the start day of the flag by accident. That is why the flag looks recent. Despite that, I commented about a missing dependency and there is not reaction. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/Spixmaster/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/frappe-bench/

[PRQ#41644] Deletion Request for sky
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Jul '23

01 Jul '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for sky [2]: Closed-source proprietary binary, "Lync and Skype for Business client on Linux". The company seems defunct, its website is "address not found". There does not seem to be a way to download this binary tarball anymore. But this package should not be needed. There are working alternatives for installing the official Microsoft instant messenger clients like Skype et al.

[PRQ#41688] Deletion Request for mirrorbrain
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Jul '23

01 Jul '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mirrorbrain [2]: Seems like a dead project since 2014. [a] Package is defunct because it is missing a dependency. I suggest to delete it. It is a server component used for content delivery and mirroring. Even if it worked, it would be seriously insecure, and also most likely lack modern standards support.

[PRQ#41690] Deletion Request for solanum-ircd
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Jun '23

26 Jun '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for solanum-ircd [2]: Improperly sourced package, and unmaintained. Actually this package seems to have no good reason to exist, as the currently actively developed solanum-ircd source has no versioned, tagged releases. There is a proper AUR/solanum-ircd-git VCS package. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/solanum-ircd/

[PRQ#41695] Orphan Request for ccache-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Jun '23

26 Jun '23

MarsSeed [1] filed an orphan request for ccache-git [2]: Unmaintained. Needs fixes since 2020 but owner is yet to address them. Maybe someone else can take over. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/ccache-git/

[PRQ#41649] Deletion Request for lightdm-webkit2-theme-bevel-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Jun '23

26 Jun '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lightdm-webkit2-theme-bevel- git [2]: This is an unmaintained theme since 2017 for the defunct lightdm- webkit-greeter. The latter package has already been deleted a year ago from AUR because it was broken. Safe to delete: only a broken metapackage depends on it on AUR (kana- p-git), which is for a discontinued "do-it-yourself" Arch Linux alternate distribution. I have submitted a separate deletion request for that. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/lightdm-webkit2-theme-bevel-git/
