[PRQ#45612] Deletion Request for arduide-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 30 Oct '23

30 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for arduide-git [2]: Discontinued Qt4 based IDE for Arduino development; upstream code not touched since 2016. [a] Package is broken due to missing Qt4 based qscintilla dependency. As per maintainer's last comment from 2020: " Actually, everybody should use Code + PlatformIO instead of this very out of date, abandonned IDE.

[PRQ#45610] Deletion Request for prokit-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 29 Oct '23

29 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for prokit-git [2]: Unmaintained VCS package from 2015. Same owner already orphaned their former stable package (AUR/prokit). This one does not follow VCS package guidelines, as I've pointed out in a comment in June. But @ser seems to be MIA since a year ago. The development in upstream repo discontinued two years ago. [a] So I recommend to delete this package. [a]: http://git.proteanos.com/prokit/prokit.git/ [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/prokit-git/

[PRQ#45606] Merge Request for python-snakemake-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 29 Oct '23

29 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge python-snakemake-git [2] into snakemake-git [3]: @alienzj, the submitter who created the python-snakemake-git package later adopted, but not yet updated, the earlier-existing snakemake- git. This is a CLI application, no need for the 'python-' prefix. Also there's already a maintained stable package on AUR with the expected name 'snakemake'. While both VCS packages that are the subject of this request need changes to adapt to upstream, and I am not yet sure about maintainer's current and future availability, it's better to have one VCS PKGBUILD instead of two. :) Also the stable snakemake package can provide a good starting point when modernizing the VCS build.

[PRQ#45602] Deletion Request for mingw-w64-gdk-pixbuf2-bin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 29 Oct '23

29 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mingw-w64-gdk-pixbuf2-bin [2]: This binary package is two years old, outdated but no one flagged it. It is just a repackage of a pacman package hosted in MSYS2 repo. I recommend deletion. The latest binary can be downloaded from that repo.

[PRQ#45585] Deletion Request for mingw-w64-allegro
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 29 Oct '23

29 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mingw-w64-allegro [2]: Orphan pkg from 2018, last comment from same year, flagged OOD since 2019. Broken since at least 2022-03 due to URL protocol deprecation, but seems no one noticed. Not useful to keep in its current state, so I recommend deletion.

[PRQ#45580] Deletion Request for gtksourceview3-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 29 Oct '23

29 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gtksourceview3-git [2]: Defunct VCS package from 2015. It is also broken: tries (and fails) to build the current master branch which contains gtksourceview5. But I see no point in fixing this package: the gtksourceview3 code on the last relevant git branch, 'gnome-3.24' has not been touched since Jan 2020. [a] Therefore keeping a development package for it is moot. Arch extra repo carries a stable gtksourceview3, with patches on top of the last tagged release. [a]: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtksourceview/-/tree/gnome-3-24 [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/gtksourceview3-git/
