[PRQ#42586] Deletion Request for python-setuptools-scm-git-archive
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Jul '23

23 Jul '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-setuptools-scm-git- archive [2]: "This plugin is obsolete. ``setuptools_scm >= 7.0.0`` supports Git archives by itself." [a] As per my checking, only one maintained package has this declared in their 'requires' (python-vispy), but that can and should be easily patched to be removed. This was already confirmed by upstream issue ticket. I've notified the maintainer. This legacy package was recreated for python-vispy instead of removing it from its requires definition. I've also left comments or flags on the few other, abandoned AUR consumer packages' pages. But those are seemingly leftovers and not used by anyone. (However, none of those packages' 'requires' list include setuptools_scm_git_archive, so only the PKGBUILDs need to drop it in these packages.) This package was rightly dropped from Arch repos. python-vispy packaging needs to fix the issue instead of having this package on AUR. And this deprecated package is better to be deleted.

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for tp_smapi-ck [2]: Orphan package, unmaintained since 2018. Not needed, as the up-to-date AUR/tp_smapi-dkms can be installed for the linux-ck kernel as well. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/tp_smapi-ck/

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Jul '23

23 Jul '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for nvidia-vulkan-utils-nvlax [2]: Orphaned package. The nvlax mod is abandoned since 2021. [a] And it makes the build break now. I think it's time to retire this package. [a]: https://github.com/illnyang/nvlax [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/nvidia-vulkan-utils-nvlax/

[PRQ#42534] Deletion Request for linux-pf-stable-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Jul '23

23 Jul '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for linux-pf-stable-git [2]: Having this package is pointless. The linux-pf repo always points to the latest stable branch. This package is also outdated without manual intervention by ower: it still points to linux-pf 6.2 branch even though 6.3 is the latest stable branch. The AUR/linux-pf-git package is enough to keep.

[PRQ#42532] Deletion Request for virtualbox-host-modules-pf
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Jul '23

23 Jul '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for virtualbox-host-modules-pf [2]: It seems this package has never been properly maintained all through several years. Because it depends on a version-bound 'virtualbox-host-dkms', which should be provided by AUR/linux-pf, but the latter package only ever provided versionless 'virtualbox-host-dkms'. There is a comment on this package page from 2016 about the same. (It comes from a package merge, as this current package has been first submitted in 2020. But this comment indicates that even the predecessor of this package was not maintained properly.)

[PRQ#42467] Deletion Request for kepubify-bin-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Jul '23

23 Jul '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for kepubify-bin-git [2]: This new package doesn't make sense. It is not a VCS package, but a binary one. And it just duplicates the following: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kepubify-bin Which has been on AUR since 2018. Please delete.
