[PRQ#42161] Deletion Request for openblas-lapack-static
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Jul '23

05 Jul '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for openblas-lapack-static [2]: Orphaned package. Also outdated. And now it has a wrong name as well. As repo has introduced the same package under the 'blas-openblas' name, providing all the interfaces as this package.

[PRQ#41970] Deletion Request for bzip2-with-lbzip2-symlinks
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Jul '23

05 Jul '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for bzip2-with-lbzip2-symlinks [2]: Unmaintained, orphaned alternative of [core] bzip2. Last updated in 2019. This is actually a package that replaces bzip2 binaries with lbzip2 ones. But since it is out of maintenance for a long time, it is not at parity with Arch [core] bzip2, e.g. it does not carry the pkgconf file introduced by Arch to aid building downstream packages. I recommend to delete it as it seems no one is using it. There are no votes or comments.

[PRQ#42166] Deletion Request for openblas-cblas-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Jul '23

05 Jul '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for openblas-cblas-git [2]: Unmaintained VCS package since at least a year ago. But also naming is now obsolete, with [extra] repo's new blas-openblas package which provides a superset of this package. I recommend deleting this package, and if someone wants a git package, they should reuse the repo package's PKGBUILD and adapt from that.

[PRQ#41987] Deletion Request for firebird-superserver
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Jul '23

05 Jul '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for firebird-superserver [2]: Defunct package, not updated since 2019. Missing one of the source files. There are maintained Firebird server packages on AUR so this old one seems not to be needed.

[PRQ#41994] Deletion Request for fontconfig-srb
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Jul '23

05 Jul '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for fontconfig-srb [2]: Abandoned variant of extra/fontconfig, last updated in 2018. Seems it was patched for some speed improvements. But it is no longer useful, being out of maintenance. Last comments are from 2018, and there is only 1 vote. I recommend to delete it. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/fontconfig-srb/

[PRQ#41976] Deletion Request for pypy3-bin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Jul '23

05 Jul '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for pypy3-bin [2]: I believe AUR should not carry the same package as official Arch repos. This is a duplicate of [extra] pypy3: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/pypy3/ Also repo version is newer. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/pypy3-bin/

[PRQ#41962] Deletion Request for freetype2-ttmetrics
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Jul '23

05 Jul '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for freetype2-ttmetrics [2]: This slightly modified freetype2 build has not been updated since 2 years ago. Last comment is from 2019 and it has only two votes. I recommend to delete it. Extra/freetype2 is up-to-date and should be adequate for users. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/freetype2-ttmetrics/

[PRQ#41988] Deletion Request for freetds-krb5
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Jul '23

05 Jul '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for freetds-krb5 [2]: Orphaned variant of extra/freetds, and much older. Enables kerberos support but seems this package is not needed (0 votes or comments). If this feature is in demand, it should be requested in Arch bug tracking system. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/freetds-krb5/

[PRQ#41991] Deletion Request for smloadr-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Jul '23

05 Jul '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for smloadr-git [2]: Project discontinued in 2020 [a] after a cease and desist letter from Deezer, Inc, music streaming service. [b] This application was used to download content from Deezer in violation of their ToS. It is unlikely to work anymore, since all development activity stopped after 2020. Deezer most certainly made efforts to thwart unsanctioned downloads from their streaming service. [a]: https://github.com/fz-took/SMLoadr#readme [b]: https://fuwafuwa.moe/transparency/git.fuwafuwa.moe/002.2020-11-27.deezer.ta… [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/smloadr-git/
