[PRQ#41956] Deletion Request for ipkiss
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Jul '23

01 Jul '23

a821 [1] filed a deletion request for ipkiss [2]: No votes, no comments, old python2 software which cannot be built due to missing a dependency. Nothing depends on it. The upstream github repo says that it mirrors IPKISS from pypi [0], which shows that last release dates back in 2013. I think this is safe to delete.

[PRQ#41939] Deletion Request for tdesktop-x64-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Jul '23

01 Jul '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for tdesktop-x64-git [2]: Application has been renamed to 64gram. [a] This VCS package has not been updated since 2021. Flagged out-of-date (2021-03-28), for needing PKGBUILD changes. There is a maintained AUR/64gram-desktop package. I recommend deleting this old VCS build. A new 64gram VCS package can be quickly created from AUR/64gram- desktop if someone wants it.

[PRQ#41974] Deletion Request for openoffice-uglyfix-freetype2
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Jul '23

01 Jul '23

toropisco [1] filed a deletion request for openoffice-uglyfix- freetype2 [2]: I suggest that if [PRQ#41966] Deletion Request for libreoffice- uglyfix-freetype2 is approved, this package be removed for the same reasons. As he original request states: MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for libreoffice-uglyfix- freetype2 [2]: This workaround solution to change the behavior of freetype2 library's font hinting for LibreOffice suite has been created in 2013 and has not been updated since 2021. Arch [extra] carries the latest freetype2, v2.13, whereas this package is at v2.11. The last comment is from 2020 and says this package makes LibreOffice 7+ crash. If there is a bug in LibreOffice font hinting which makes fonts ugly, or if there is a feature request to change LibreOffice font rendering, it should be either addressed in Arch bug report or upstream in LibreOffice project. I recommend deletion of this package which seems to be not actively used and maintained anymore.
