26 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for isomount [2]: Installs files to unallowed locations: ~/.local/bin ~/.local/share/kservices5/ServiceMenus/ Also hosts the source tar.gz file in the AUR git repo instead of external server. The latter issue has been pointed out in comment by @FabioLolix on 2023-02-13, but maintainer said they don't understand the problem.

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for openmodelica-dev-omc [2]: 6 year old dev package, upstream repo archived since 2019. [a] Only other, similarly defunct and old dev packages depend on this.

[PRQ#46595] Deletion Request for gnu-netcat-svn
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 22 Dec '23

22 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gnu-netcat-svn [2]: Unneeded developmental VCS package, since gnu-netcat's Subversion repo has not been updated since 2013 [a], and the project is dead and unsupported. [b] Arch repo carries the latest stable release of gnu-netcat. If applicable, please consider submitting an Arch ticket to update that repo package with some or all of the (few) unreleased patches from upstream. Otherwise, it is advisable for people to use the much newer and actively maintained openbsd-netcat implementation, built from Debian's repackage of it in Arch repo. [a]: https://sourceforge.net/p/netcat/code/HEAD/tree/ [b]: https://sourceforge.net/p/netcat/support-requests/6/ [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/gnu-netcat-svn/
