[PRQ#44692] Deletion Request for mate-power-manager-upower
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 30 Sep '23

30 Sep '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mate-power-manager-upower [2]: Broken orphan package from 2017. Intends to build with gtk2, but by default it pulls in only gtk3-based packages. But seems no one needs this anymore: there's only 1 comment, by former owner, from 2017.

30 Sep '23

FabioLolix [1] filed a deletion request for libical2 [2]: Old version released on 2015-12 not compatible with newer version as reported by upstream, fails to build, install in the same place as libical so would break any Arch package, not required by other pkgbuilds [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/FabioLolix/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/libical2/

[PRQ#44684] Deletion Request for rocblas-polaris
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 30 Sep '23

30 Sep '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for rocblas-polaris [2]: Abandoned patched variant from 2022-04 of rocblas, available in repo. One-time effort, flagged OOD since 2022-07, but never updated. Doesn't declare the needed conflicts. Uploader never tested his, due to lack of sufficient hardware to build. Two other users tried to compile but got severe, complicated errors. Gfx8 (gfx803) Radeon devices from 2017 like Radeon RX 550, 570, 580 have been having crashes as far back as ROCm 3.7, then ROCm 4.0 in 2020 has officially declared that these platforms as unsupported. [a] Just because a patched build enables the use of these legacy GPU's, it won't make this rocblas 5.x build run without errors, if it works at all. Not useful to keep this unofficial, broken package that falsely promises compute support for legacy GPU's from 2017.

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for rocblas-polaris-bin [2]: Abandoned patched binary from 2022-04 for rocblas, available in repo. One-time effort, flagged OOD since 2022-07, but never updated. Doesn't declare sources, uses wget to download them. Doesn't declare the needed conflicts.

[a] Just because a patched build enables the use of these legacy GPU's, it won't make this rocblas build run without errors, if it works at all. Not useful to keep this unofficial hackjob of a package for legacy GPU's from 2017.

[PRQ#44679] Deletion Request for amdgpu-pro-installer-cfe
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 30 Sep '23

30 Sep '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for amdgpu-pro-installer-cfe [2]: Modified variant from 2022-03 of @Ashark's amdgpu-pro-installer package. One-time effort. The 'cfe' designation is made-up, as per comment in PKGBUILD: # "cfe" Cosmic Fusion Edition a random name just to defer this fork form upstream Flagged by owner one month after upload, and never updated. Better to delete, not needed. The package it copied from is up-to- date. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/amdgpu-pro-installer-cfe/

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 30 Sep '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for carapace-bin-git [2]: Orphan VCS package, 'bin' designation is wrong. Not useful to keep. AUR has a stable package and a stable bin package for the same.
