[PRQ#42722] Deletion Request for libbrotli-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Jun '23

26 Jun '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for libbrotli-git [2]: Discontinued since 2021. [a] Not needed, as now upstream brotli project provides libbrotli* components and those are available in repo brotli package. Quote from readme: " DEPRECATED This library and effort made sense in the early days when no brotli library was provided by the brotli project. Once the brotli project started providing libraries by itself, this project turned deprecated. Switch to the "real" brotli project's library instead! " Safe to delete: nothing depends on this package. [a]: https://github.com/bagder/libbrotli [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/libbrotli-git/

[PRQ#42702] Deletion Request for gnutls-tiny-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Jun '23

26 Jun '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gnutls-tiny-git [2]: Unneeded variant VCS pkg from 2018; not really tiny. (Doesn't explain why or how it is supposed to be so.) Not significantly different from this: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gnutls-git But latter has an active maintainer. This is also not API-compatible with repo's gnutls and the above -git package due to not using OpenSSL compatibility like the others. It's best to delete this.

[PRQ#42714] Deletion Request for lib32-libffi-minimal-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Jun '23

26 Jun '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-libffi-minimal-git [2]: Unmaintained VCS package from 2021. Owner MIA since then. .SRCINFO has wrong pkgver, not one that's generated by pkgver() function. Also package name is misleading: built application is feature- complete, the same way [multilib] lib32-libffi is. As there is only 1 vote and no comments, I recommend deletion. Seems the repo package is sufficient for users. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/lib32-libffi-minimal-git/

[PRQ#42712] Deletion Request for libffi-minimal-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Jun '23

26 Jun '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for libffi-minimal-git [2]: Abandoned VCS package from 2021. Owner MIA since then, and does not respond to emails. Not needed: AUR has a maintained libffi-git package. The name of this 'minimal' package is also misleading, as it is functionally equivalent to libffi-git. It only disables building the documentation; maybe it could have been named with a -nodocs tag. But it seems there's no demand for this package: has 1 vote an 0 comments. I recommend deleting this superfluous package without an active maintainer. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/libffi-minimal-git/

[PRQ#42759] Deletion Request for python2-clint
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Jun '23

26 Jun '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-clint [2]: Broken Py2 package. Discontinued since 2015. [a] Not needed. Its one dependent, jaziku-devel, is older than AUR/jaziku; the latter is already on Py3. Safe to delete this defunct package. [a]: https://pypi.org/project/clint/ [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python2-clint/

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

26 Jun '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mowedline-git [2]: Abandoned VCS package from 2015. Broken: uses unsupported GitHub URL scheme. It was an optional software, "a statbar program for X" (for desktops without a GUI toolkit like GTK or Qt). Development have stopped in 2018. [a] But seems not used. 0 votes/comments. Nothing depends on it. Safe to delete. [a]: https://github.com/retroj/mowedline [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/mowedline-git/
