by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Jun '23

26 Jun '23

kki0t [1] filed a deletion request for waybar-hyprland-nvidia [2]: This package and `waybar-hyprland` only differ in dependencies: - 'wireplumber' + 'pipewire-media-session' No explanation behind the `nvidia` naming; this can be misleading. Author has not addressed the confusion. The package should either be renamed or removed. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/kki0t/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/waybar-hyprland-nvidia/

[PRQ#41742] Deletion Request for python2-javascriptcore4-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 25 Jun '23

25 Jun '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-javascriptcore4-git [2]: This Python 2 bindings for webkitgtk-4.0 hasn't been developed since 2016 [a] and its GitHub repo got archived in 2022. The git source URL protocol is unsupported since March 2022, so the build cannot download them. But no one complained. There is only 1 vote and zero comments. No package depends on this. Therefore it is safe to delete it, and I recommend to do so.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 25 Jun '23

25 Jun '23

rootjdev [1] filed an orphan request for python-quamash [2]: Last activity from the maintainer seems to be late 2019, the build error is already fixed in the upstream package, but not this one.

[PRQ#41734] Deletion Request for naaive-orange
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 25 Jun '23

25 Jun '23

yochananmarqos [1] filed a deletion request for naaive-orange [2]: This should have been submitted as orange-bin as it's a binary source. However, the .deb is packaged horribly and should not be used. All the files are owned by 1001:121 and a random icon is in /usr/lib/orange/. The orange pkgname is now available as the old, dead project was just deleted. See PRQ#41729. However, it fails to build from source right now. The latest release is 0.6.5 and the pkgver should be the same. The pkgrel is always '1' with a new upstream release. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PKGBUILD#pkgrel [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/yochananmarqos/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/naaive-orange/
