[PRQ#43004] Deletion Request for xfluxd-args
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 17 Aug '23

17 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for xfluxd-args [2]: xflux is a dead, closed-source binary from 2013, and doesn't work on systems since 2016 due to changes in Xorg server (and it never worked on Wayland). The f.lux project's own xflux-gui now supports Redshift instead of the deprecated xflux. It's time to retire this badly packaged systemd configuration for xflux.

[PRQ#42981] Deletion Request for bzr-gtk
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 17 Aug '23

17 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for bzr-gtk [2]: Broken, alpha quality Gtk3 frontend for bzr, the discontinued Py2-only Bazaar CLI utility. Project started early gtk2-to-gtk3 porting in 2012, but soon all development got discontinued. [a] Package last updated in 2015. Dependencies are wrong: needs python2-gobject, not *-gobject2. Also needs python2-dbus. Basic smoke test (running bzr-notify) generates Python import warnings. I wrote the details of the problems to the maintainer, but got no response. I also asked if this package is still needed. I think the brokennness and the silence gives the answer. It's time to retire this package.

[PRQ#42977] Deletion Request for updf-bzr
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 17 Aug '23

17 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for updf-bzr [2]: Reported broken since 2016-09 due to missing Python2 dependency. Last update was in 2016-08. Also last commit in the Bazaar repo was in 2012. [a] These are two strong reasons in favor of deletion. The third: there are several currently maintained and working PDF editing tools. The fourth: last comment is from 2019. [a]: https://launchpad.net/updf/ [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/updf-bzr/
