[PRQ#43465] Deletion Request for python-iexfinance-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 20 Aug '23

20 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-iexfinance-git [2]: Orphaned dual Python2/Python3 VCS package, last updated in 2018. Broken: upstream no longer supports Python2. Safe to delete: no dependents, 1 vote, and only I commented a year ago about the broken python2 subpackage.

[PRQ#43464] Deletion Request for python-pygame_sdl2-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 20 Aug '23

20 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-pygame_sdl2-git [2]: Abandoned pkg from 2015, one-time effort. Doesn't align with repo's name for the stable package: python-pygame-sdl2 (with dash, not underscore). Does not declare any of the needed provides or conflicts. It has only 1 vote, and 2 comments from 2023-05-05 by the same user about packaging issues. There was no response to that. I recommend deletion. It seems owner is not interested in attending to this package since 2015. A new VCS package can be created quickly from repo's PKGBUILD, if someone wants to maintain such on AUR.

[PRQ#43605] Deletion Request for advanced-rest-client-appimage
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 19 Aug '23

19 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for advanced-rest-client- appimage [2]: Please don't upload AppImage binaries of Electron- (Chromium) based applications. These are hugely bloated and go against Arch's Electron application guidelines, namely that they should use and depend on one of the electron packages carried by Arch repo. I know that creating good quality packages is hard work, but that doesn't mean that it should be okay to spam the AUR with five hundred foreign binary packages which duplicate a lots of binary libraries and runtimes already existing in the Arch Linux operating system. This is not Windows, where bloat and duplication is the norm. Please learn and adhere to Linux principles. When there is source available, use primarily that to build and package an application. Or in case of Electron applications, you can choose to use the ASAR files with Arch repo's electron runtime, and create a -bin suffixed electron package.

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for cairo-git [2]: Abandoned VCS pkg from 2021 by MIA owner (@shoober420). With non-monotonic pkgver().

[PRQ#46446] Orphan Request for wcslib62
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 19 Aug '23

19 Aug '23

Mr.Smith1974 [1] filed an orphan request for wcslib62 [2]: The current maintainer hasn't updated the package in a very long time, which is why the package is in a "bad" state and therefore this package needs a new maintainer, which could be me.
