[PRQ#45237] Deletion Request for lib32-ibus-qt
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 12 Oct '23

12 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-ibus-qt [2]: Unused Qt4-based li32 package from 2015. It didn't have any dependents even as far back as 2015 (as per earliest existing snapshot on web.archive.org) In repo, the native-build package was last used by texmaker up until May 30, 2014, at which point this dependency was dropped. [a] I recommend deletion. [a]: https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-community/commit/de7ceae [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/lib32-ibus-qt/

[PRQ#45235] Deletion Request for lib32-libunwind-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 12 Oct '23

12 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-libunwind-git [2]: Abandoned orphan VCS package from 2020. With non-monotonic pkgver(). But it seems there is not much interest in maintaining it here. So I think it's better to delete. Multilib repo carries the latest stable version. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/lib32-libunwind-git/

[PRQ#45234] Deletion Request for kodi-addon-vfs-libarchive-leia
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 12 Oct '23

12 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for kodi-addon-vfs-libarchive- leia [2]: Abandoned and outdated addon from 2020 for Kodi Leia v18. But it's not needed anymore, as there's no more such version of Kodi in Arch or AUR repos, only v20.x. Safe to delete, no dependents. There's a newer addon of this for current Kodi.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#31788] Deletion Request for lib32-schroedinger
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 08 Oct '23

08 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-schroedinger [2]: This 10+ year old library is not needed anymore. (Actually the major release v1.0 is from 2008.) Even Arch has orphaned it. Current FFMPEG/libavcodec source includes a better alternative of the Dirac codec (which is Schroedinger's purpose as well). But FFMPEG's code has been maintained and improved since. (Its current Dirac codec actually is based on an improved version called SMPTE VC-2, previously known as BBC Dirac Pro.) For its only AUR dependent, lib32-ffmpeg-semifull-git, I've already submitted a deletion request, since that is completely dead, with 15+ missing dependencies. (And that package is not needed anyway, as there are working and up-to-date lib32-ffmpeg AUR packages.)

[PRQ#45409] Deletion Request for chicken-coops-utils
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 07 Oct '23

07 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for chicken-coops-utils [2]: This unmaintained chicken4 library from 2015 is broken: not compatible with repo's current chicken v5. But not needed: nothing depends on it, and there are no votes or comments. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/chicken-coops-utils/
