[PRQ#41649] Deletion Request for lightdm-webkit2-theme-bevel-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Jun '23

26 Jun '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lightdm-webkit2-theme-bevel- git [2]: This is an unmaintained theme since 2017 for the defunct lightdm- webkit-greeter. The latter package has already been deleted a year ago from AUR because it was broken. Safe to delete: only a broken metapackage depends on it on AUR (kana- p-git), which is for a discontinued "do-it-yourself" Arch Linux alternate distribution. I have submitted a separate deletion request for that. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/lightdm-webkit2-theme-bevel-git/

[PRQ#41824] Deletion Request for freelib-bin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Jun '23

26 Jun '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for freelib-bin [2]: The project released its last version in 2016. [a] I've notified the former maintainer of this package that there is now a third-party continuation fork of this on GitHub. [b] This is a -bin package for pre-built binaries, but the new fork project does not provide such. The former maintainer just disowned this package after my feedback, indicating they do not wish to continue its upkeep. Therefore I recommend deleting this package for lack of up-to-date binaries. There is a freelib and freelib-git package on AUR for source-based builds. Those should function adequately for users' needs. [a]: https://sourceforge.net/projects/freelibdesign/files/5.0.1/ [b]: https://github.com/petrovvlad/freeLib [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/freelib-bin/

[PRQ#41802] Deletion Request for libsidplayfp-experimental-svn
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Jun '23

26 Jun '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for libsidplayfp-experimental- svn [2]: As of 2021-02-01, project source got migrated to git repo on GitHub [a]: https://github.com/libsidplayfp/libsidplayfp Therefore this SVN based VCS package is not needed anymore. There are no votes or comments, so it's safe to delete.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Jun '23

26 Jun '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lapack-tmg [2]: Old, abandoned duplicate from 2017 of [extra] blas / cblas / lapack. The repo packages are also built with enabling TMG. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/lapack-tmg/

[PRQ#42193] Deletion Request for openpht-ffmpeg
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Jun '23

26 Jun '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for openpht-ffmpeg [2]: Outdated duplicate of AUR/ffmpeg2.8, but this one doesn't build and is unmaintained since 2017. Owner is MIA since 2017. There is only one package that depends on it: openpht, which has not seen much development since 2021. But that package, if needed, should depend on the properly working AUR/ffmpeg2.8. This package is best to be deleted. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/openpht-ffmpeg/

[PRQ#42192] Deletion Request for libtiff-minimal-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Jun '23

26 Jun '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for libtiff-minimal-git [2]: Unmaintained VCS package from 2020, alternative to the well-kept AUR/libtiff-git. Does not properly configure the build to make sure only the mandatory dependencies are used. And declares wrong optdepends. Package also behaves differently if built in clean chroot vs in a typical user system. I recommend deletion, there is no useful purpose of this package in this state.

[PRQ#42190] Deletion Request for lua-sci-lang
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Jun '23

26 Jun '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lua-sci-lang [2]: Abandoned package, seems like a one-time effort from 2020. The "scientific Lua" project seems to be a one-person thing, and the GitHub repos have had their last few commits in 2020 or 2021. [a]* The last tagged releases were done in 2015. [b] I recommend deletion. [a]: https://github.com/stepelu?tab=repositories * see lua-* repos. [b]: https://github.com/stepelu/lua-sci-lang/tags [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/lua-sci-lang/
