[PRQ#44317] Deletion Request for lib32-libx11-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Sep '23

23 Sep '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-libx11-git [2]: Abandoned lib32 VCS pkg from 2021 by MIA owner (@shoober420). Only 2 users commented, in 2021 and 2022, respectively, about some lesser packaging errors. But it seems no one went for an orphan request because there is no interest in maintainership. Therefore I recommend deletion. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/lib32-libx11-git/

[PRQ#44316] Deletion Request for i3status-mpd-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Sep '23

23 Sep '23

a821 [1] filed a deletion request for i3status-mpd-git [2]: Flagged out of date for a year. Last update in 2015. Last comment in 2016. More importantly, the package is broken due to a) deprecated git:// protocol, which you could easily fix, and b) upstream migrating its build system from `make` to `meson` (ca. Oct-2021), which means the PKGBUILD will need a partial rewrite. Doesn't look someone is using or needs this, so I recommend deletion.

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for yash-git [2]: Orphan VCS pkg from 2021, created by @shoober420. pkgver() is not based on git tags. But it seems no one needs this anymore: 1 vote, 0 comments. AUR has a maintained and up-to-date stable package.

[PRQ#44309] Deletion Request for sdl2-nox
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Sep '23

23 Sep '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for sdl2-nox [2]: Orphan, outdated package, last changed a year ago. Last comment is from 2018. I recommend deletion. Not just because of its maintenence status. But also because of the fact that in this day and age, "nox" designation is misleading. It was meant to mean "no X(.org server)", but was synonymous to "headless", a.k.a. "no GUI". However, nowadays there is Wayland, so "no X" could also mean "Wayland-only". One can only guess, based on build configuration parameters, that this is headless. However, this is not truly "no X" in the sense that it depends on mesa, which uses libx11 client-side libraries (there is no "mesa- nox"). Also, I'm not sure how SDL2 can be useful without GUI support, as this is meant for audiovisual applications (games and other multimedia programs). (Maybe automated testing purposes?) In any case, no package specifically depends on it, except for the long-abandoned and broken ffmpeg-nox-git from 2021, which I've submitted for deletion (PRQ#43348) on 2023-07-01.

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for anbox-modules-dkms- aarch64_fix [2]: This fork of anbox-modules is discontinued. It seems to have been a one-time effort a year ago (2022-07-03), with only 10 commits. Upstream is 1 year newer.
