[PRQ#42079] Deletion Request for epoptes-bzr
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Jul '23

02 Jul '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for epoptes-bzr [2]: There was an AURweb bug preventing the deletion of this package: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/aurweb/-/issues/375 As it's reported as fixed, I'm resubmitting the request. This is an orphaned Bazaar VCS package, last updated in 2016. Not needed because the project uses Git now. [a] There is currently no -git VCS package on AUR for this, but there is a stable one. [b] This old -bzr package still uses Python 2 dependencies, whereas the current code supports Python 3.

JimboMonkey1234 [1] filed a deletion request for homer [2]: Has not been updated since 2019, despite two breaks (1) the upstream domain has changed, and the download no longer works (2) the pkgbuild doesn't work even when pointing to the right domain.

[PRQ#42776] Deletion Request for iraf-bin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Jul '23

02 Jul '23

Mr.Smith1974 [1] filed a deletion request for iraf-bin [2]: please remove this package: https://iraf-community.github.io/ Please be aware the IRAF is 35 years old legacy code and institutional support for IRAF and its usage is going away quickly. It is recommended to search alternative solutions, for example in the Astropy community, and not to start new projects using IRAF. See this article in the STScI newsletter for rationale and recommendations. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/Mr.Smith1974/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/iraf-bin/

[PRQ#41823] Deletion Request for gst-plugin-libde265
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Jul '23

02 Jul '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gst-plugin-libde265 [2]: Orphaned, last updated in 2015. Unneeded because it has been upstreamed to gstreamer repo and is included in gst-plugins-bad: 9-year old version (this package): https://github.com/strukturag/gstreamer-libde265/tree/master/src Current version (in gstreamer monorepo): https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/tree/main/subprojects/… plugins-bad/ext/libde265 Arch [extra] gst-plugins-bad depends on libde265. GStreamer source directly supports it. So this package is unneeded. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/gst-plugin-libde265/

[PRQ#41800] Deletion Request for mingw-w64-physfs-hg
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Jul '23

02 Jul '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mingw-w64-physfs-hg [2]: Orphaned VCS package. Obsolete because upstream project stopped using Mercurial (hg) repo and migrated the source to GitHub. Package last updated in 2017. There is a non-VCS mingw-w64-physfs on AUR. If someone needs a VCS package, they can adapt the PKGBUILD of the latter to use the latest GitHub git commit, and create a new mingw-w64-physfs-git package. There are no votes, and apart from my Mercurial shutdown comment last year, there is only one comment , and it's from 2016. So I conclude it's safe to delete this abandoned and unneeded package.
