[PRQ#42142] Deletion Request for ntdsxtract
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 24 Jun '23

24 Jun '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ntdsxtract [2]: This Python2 tool is dead because of its missing Py2 cryptographic library dependency. The website it provided is also dead at least since 2017, as per my browsing through web.archive.org revealed. The source is also only available on web.archive.org. This was a tool for a very niche and specialized use case: it says it's a forensic analysis toolkit for Windows Server's Active Directory password hash file. There are expert guides on how to attack this file to extract user password hashes and other metadata from it. So if someone wants to do this kind of infosec work on an ntds.dit database file, they can find plenty of resources for it, they don't need a dead Python2 toolkit from 2015 to accomplish it. I recommend deletion of this defunct package. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/ntdsxtract/

[PRQ#42302] Deletion Request for kara
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 24 Jun '23

24 Jun '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for kara [2]: Orphan Python package from 2020. Broken, missing a dependency. This was one person's 4-day-challenge project [a] that led to a 10-day development length in June 2020. [b] This was meant to be a voice assistant using ffmpeg, but as it is, it cannot speak and cannot hear (code does not invoke ffmpeg ever). Thus it has zero usefulness to users. Better to delete it.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 24 Jun '23

24 Jun '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for encryptpad-git [2]: As this VCS package has not been maintained since 2018, I recommend deletion. Seems not used: 1 vote, 0 comments. Build broken. AUR has up-to-date stable package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/encryptpad (VCS package could be easily adapted from the latter, and recreated, if at any point in the future someone wants a -git build on AUR.)

[PRQ#42531] Deletion Request for ds360
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 24 Jun '23

24 Jun '23

xiota [1] filed a deletion request for ds360 [2]: Abandoned. Git repository (https://github.com/yoyossef/ds360) has following notice: This repository has been archived by the owner on Jan 22, 2023. It is now read-only. Not maintained anymore I'm sure someone would find a more elegant way of doing this than simply wrapping xboxdrv, latest Proton + Steam Input work perfectly for me, add non-steam shortcut if it doesn't work (Steam Deck work seems to have improved controller support).
