[PRQ#42120] Deletion Request for winbox64
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 08 Jul '23

08 Jul '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for winbox64 [2]: Unneeded duplicate of AUR/winbox. Latter package also uses the 64-bit binary release of Mikrotik user configuration utility. This package unneededly links to AUR/wine-x64, whereas the application can run with any WINE variants, including those carried by Arch repos. AUR/winbox sets its dependency on wine correctly.

[PRQ#42521] Deletion Request for lib32-eudev-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 08 Jul '23

08 Jul '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-eudev-git [2]: Unmaintained VCS package from 2020. Flagged 15 month ago about needed changes (in provides, conflicts and in source declaration). Got no response. Package has an erroneous, non-monotonical pkgver(). 1 vote, 0 comment. Not worth keeping it in AUR.

[PRQ#42587] Deletion Request for hlsdl-bin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 08 Jul '23

08 Jul '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for hlsdl-bin [2]: This package should be deleted and if needed, reuploaded under a different name. As AUR has existing packages hlsdl and hlsdl-git, which are from a different codebase and is a C program. However, current hlsdl-bin is a Golang library. Another reason for deletion is that @AsukaMinato uploaded and orphaned this, and then after I submitted my previous deletion request, they readopted the package, added current maintainer @aron505, then disowned it again. Third reason: if this Golang based application is useful, it should preferably be added as a source-build package (GitHub source available), and not (just) as a pre-built binary.

[PRQ#42301] Deletion Request for qt5-multimedia-plugin-ffmpeg
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 08 Jul '23

08 Jul '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for qt5-multimedia-plugin-ffmpeg [2]: Not needed by any packages. One-person project started and discontinued in 2021. [a] - In total it has 20 commits. [a] - 0 issues ever, 0 PR's. - no documentation. - only Qt5 - developed upon ffmpeg 4.1 and ffmpeg 4.4 only - no automated building and testing whatsoever - zero test code - readme hints that it was developed on Windows only - weird architecture: supports QtAudioOuput for audioplayback backend, but prefers SDL2 (why?) Arch repo's qt5-multimedia relies on gstreamer, but through gst-libav optional plugin, it can use ffmpeg. Packaging broken but no one complained: - cannot be built because of missing makedepend 'qt5-tools' - source link is changeable file (GitHub 'main' branch zip file) - no source checksum checking Package has no comments or votes. Seems it is not useful to any user. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/qt5-multimedia-plugin-ffmpeg/
