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

26 Jun '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-gtk2-git [2]: Abandoned lib32 VCS build from 2020. With broken, non-monotonous pkgver() scheme. 1 vote, 0 comments. I flagged it a year ago because it fails to build. Got no response from anyone. Not worth keeping.

[PRQ#42837] Deletion Request for graceful-settings
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Jun '23

26 Jun '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for graceful-settings [2]: There is no "Graceful Linux" distro. Google results only show unrelated stuff. The few AUR/graceful-* packages from user @dingjing are not useful. There are no documentation on how to put together a "Graceful Linux" themed, seemingly Qt and LightDM based custom install. Not even basic stuff, like what desktop framework/environment it supports. From GitHub commit history, it can be seen that actual code was developed only in 2020 and 2021. Since then, only packaging and metadata and comment/readme changes were done, many times quite randomly and without utility. There seems to have been one minor development addon commit in 2022. And so far all packages I've checked from @dingjing are badly packaged, suspicious, without documentation, and seemingly not useful for "outsiders" who lack information about what was going on in the creator's head. For all I know, this seems like a pet project of one Chinese-speaking person done mostly during the COVID quarantine years.

[PRQ#42828] Deletion Request for isousb
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Jun '23

26 Jun '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for isousb [2]: This bootable disc image (ISO) to USB stick writer tool seems to have been developed for Manjaro since 2013, but discontinued sometime after 2017. Depends on the obsolete gtksu. Not needed: there are many maintained alternatives that are compatible with current Arch and other distro tools and access control solutions.

[PRQ#42728] Deletion Request for libre-menu-editor
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Jun '23

26 Jun '23

LibreMenuEditor [1] filed a deletion request for libre-menu-editor [2]: I have made improvements to the code, moved to a new hosting service and submitted my package to flathub. But I would also like to put the new version into the AUR again. Problem is: I didnt know how git works when I made commits to this pkgbase last year. I made many garbage commits, just to see what happens. This still really bothers me. Please, please remove the entire thing (pkgbase and all commits), so I can start from zero and do it properly this time. I assume that this should not be a problem, since I am the only submitter.
