[PRQ#42497] Deletion Request for rubick-electron-bin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Jun '23

21 Jun '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for rubick-electron-bin [2]: To quote @a821's expression verbatim (as it applies perfectly): "Hit and run! It was submitted and orphaned at the same time. If one does not intend to maintain it, what's the point?" Package also functionally duplicates longer existing AUR/rubick-bin with some packaging alterations.

[PRQ#41607] Deletion Request for vk9-bin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Jun '23

21 Jun '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for vk9-bin [2]: This project got discontinued 4 years ago in 2019. [a] It was a Direct3D 9 to Vulkan translation layer for WINE, but unrelated to the currently active dxvk project and its predecessor d9vk. Original repo URL used in this PKGBUILD is gone, because the GitHub project owner's name got changed. [b] I recommend deletion, as it is not useful anymore to keep. Meanwhile DXVK is constantly developed and frequently upstreamed to WINE and Proton. [a]: https://github.com/gamethich2020/VK9 [b]: https://github.com/gamethich2020/VK9/commits?author=disks86 [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/vk9-bin/

[PRQ#42445] Deletion Request for python-gym-minigrid
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Jun '23

21 Jun '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-gym-minigrid [2]: Unneeded legacy Python package from 2020. Module renamed to minigrid, so a new package has to be created for that. [a][b] (See [a] redirecting to a new 'minigrid' repo.) Nothing depends on this old library. Safe to delete. [a]: https://github.com/maximecb/gym-minigrid [b]: https://pypi.org/project/minigrid/ [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-gym-minigrid/

[PRQ#42451] Deletion Request for neopg
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Jun '23

21 Jun '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for neopg [2]: Package abandoned since 2018. This fork/reimplementation of OpenPGP has never became stable, let alone feature-complete, and the work has halted since 2019. [a] AUR page has one comment (from 2018) and 3 votes. Seems not needed by anyone. Nothing depends on it. Safe to delete. [a]: https://github.com/das-labor/neopg/ [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/neopg/

[PRQ#42440] Deletion Request for firefox-kde
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Jun '23

21 Jun '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for firefox-kde [2]: Orphaned, more outdated variant of another AUR package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/firefox-kde-opensuse The latter also needs update, but at least has a maintainer and has 334 votes. This one only has 2 votes. I recommend deletion and not an AUR merge. As the few comments here only pertain to this specific build and are also old now.

[PRQ#42456] Deletion Request for tvheadend-satip-server-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Jun '23

21 Jun '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for tvheadend-satip-server-git [2]: Unmaintained since 2021. Seems not needed, as there better AUR alternatives: - tvheadend - tvheadend-git These were updated in May 2023. Both packages enable building the satip server component. This VCS build is broken on the other hand. Safe to delete. Nothing depends on this variant.

[PRQ#42454] Deletion Request for pulseaudio-bluedio
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Jun '23

21 Jun '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for pulseaudio-bluedio [2]: Abandoned PulseAudio 13 variant from 2020. Patched with a never published, self-made hack to fix an otherwise undescribed Bluetooth sink bug. I recommend deletion: not useful to anyone now. PulseAudio has seen major improvements in the last 3 years, with many Bluetooth features and fixes that were pain points for lots of people for a decade. So we don't need to keep a hacked 3 year old PulseAudio. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/pulseaudio-bluedio/

[PRQ#42505] Deletion Request for rgssad-bin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Jun '23

21 Jun '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for rgssad-bin [2]: Hit and run. @AsukaMinato just dumped and orphaned it. Also it's older than the regular AUR/rgssad package from 2020 for the same. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/rgssad-bin/
