[PRQ#41689] Deletion Request for lightdm-pantheon-greeter-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 08 Jul '23

08 Jul '23

xiota [1] filed a deletion request for lightdm-pantheon-greeter-git [2]: Modifying my previous deletion request (PRQ#41468) by providing additional information and explanation. I had previously thought this package is a duplicate of extra/lightdm-pantheon-greeter, rather, it is a *near* duplicate. While the extra package does not fully track git, it is written to use selected git commits. If this practice is expected to continue in the extra package, the AUR package may be considered sufficiently similar to warrant deletion. Further, this package fails to satisfy the "useful" criterion of the AUR submission guidelines, defined as "more than a few people would find this package useful". In Dec 2020, a commit was made that broke this package. This package has few enough users that this problem apparently went unnoticed until Apr 2023. After being notified of the issue via comment, there was no response for well over a month. Upon noticing the issue, the maintainer did fix it, but then dropped the package, so that it is now unmaintained.

[PRQ#42013] Deletion Request for wxqt-dev
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 08 Jul '23

08 Jul '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for wxqt-dev [2]: Orphan package providing the old version of [extra] wxwidgets-qt5. Intended as a "dev" version package but it is not useful anymore, being out of maintenance for a year. Repo's stable package is much newer than this. And as repo has renamed these packages from wxqt / wxgtk to wxwidgets-*, the name of this package is obsolete.

[PRQ#42570] Deletion Request for cups-noudev
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 08 Jul '23

08 Jul '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for cups-noudev [2]: Outdated legacy Apple CUPS (not the current OpenPrinting CUPS) without systemd; last updated in 2020. There's an orphaned AUR/cups-nosystemd which can be adopted and bumped to new version if this type of package is still needed. No AUR merge warranted into the latter package, as this one has 0 votes or comments. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/cups-noudev/

[PRQ#42067] Deletion Request for sickchill
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 08 Jul '23

08 Jul '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for sickchill [2]: This is an abandoned, orphaned package, haven't been maintained since 2020. Has been flagged for needing update since 2021. It's still using Python 2, and cannot be built because some of the Py2 deps have been missing for 1.5+ years. I recommend deleting it, as there is a currently well-kept AUR/sickchill-git package which provides an up-to-date application to users.

[PRQ#41992] Deletion Request for smloadr
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 08 Jul '23

08 Jul '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for smloadr [2]: Orphan package, source has been deleted. Project discontinued in 2020 [a] after a cease and desist letter from Deezer, Inc, music streaming service. [b] This application was used to download content from Deezer in violation of their ToS. It is unlikely to work anymore, since all development activity stopped after 2020. Deezer most certainly made efforts to thwart unsanctioned downloads from their streaming service.
