[PRQ#43820] Deletion Request for openbox_eui
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Aug '23

27 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for openbox_eui [2]: Abandoned duplicate from 2016 of repo 'openbox'. Unknown what the "eui" name part was supposed to mean. I flagged it OOD a year ago; also gave feedback about packaging mistakes, and asked for clarification about the "eui" designation. Got no response whatsoever. Better to delete this.

Re: [PRQ#45485] Merge Request for beeper-latest-bin
by xiota 26 Aug '23

Please dispose of merge request PRQ#45485. The maintainer of `beeper`, who is also comaintainer of `beeper-latest-bin`, and I coordinated to transition from `beeper` to `beeper-latest-bin`. The suffixes of the new package signify that this is an auto-updating package that installs the the most recent binaries (-latest-bin). While the -bin suffix may not be required for packages that do not have a source distribution, I know of no rule against using the -bin suffix for binary packages. Using these suffixes provides users with clarity about the nature of the package. The expectation for suffixless packages is that they are manually bumped, rather than auto updated. The original `beeper` package broke on a weekly basis because upstream uses a fixed download link with no alternative or redirect. The autoupdating package will not break as frequently, which is better for users. Merging `beeper-latest-bin` into `beeper` would also leave users without access to the underlying software because `beeper` is currently a metapackage that redirects users to `beeper-latest-bin`. Based on comment activity and out-of-date flags, many users have already successfully completed the migration. ----- yochananmarqos [1] filed a request to merge beeper-latest-bin [2] into > beeper [3]: > > Upstream does not provide source code and the AppImage is the only source. > No reason to use the '-bin' extension, let alone use 'latest' (as opposed > to what?) in the name. A meta package is not necessary. > > [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/yochananmarqos/ > [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/beeper-latest-bin/ > [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/beeper/ >

[PRQ#46142] Deletion Request for zfs-dkms-helper
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Aug '23

26 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for zfs-dkms-helper [2]: Unneeded new metapackage. Name doesn't make sense, and description is also not really understandable. Users can install any linux kernel and the zfs-dkms module for it, or a kernel-specific zfs module. This package does not add anything useful, and it also has a hidden upper version constraint, which is unnecessary.
