by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Aug '23

18 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for teamviewer14 [2]: Orphan, legacy TeamViewer v14. Reportedly broken since Dec 2020, as per the only comment.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Aug '23

18 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-libnotify [2]: This lib32 GNOME libnotify pkg has not been needed by anything on AUR since at least a year: its dependent, lib32-wxgtk* split-package was deleted. There's virtually no desktop-integrated closed source software in use on Linux nowadays that comes in 32-bit binary only. Safe to delete.

[PRQ#43434] Deletion Request for xorg-server-multimonitor-vrr-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Aug '23

18 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for xorg-server-multimonitor- vrr-git [2]: One-time, one-commit fork of xorg-server from Aug 2022. [a] No development happening here, and also does not get any new commits from upstream. Please delete this defunct VCS package. [a]: only last commit is unique to this fork: https://gitlab.com/pac85/xorg-server/-/commits/cleaned/ [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/xorg-server-multimonitor-vrr-git/

[PRQ#43428] Deletion Request for sassafras-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Aug '23

18 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for sassafras-git [2]: Submitted and disowned 8 minutes later, by @AsukaMinato, in Feb 2023. Some kind of obscure CLI statistics software without documentation. I recommend to delete this orphan leftover package. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/sassafras-git/

[PRQ#43426] Deletion Request for codemerx-decompile-bin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Aug '23

18 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for codemerx-decompile-bin [2]: Submitted and instantly disowned (by @AsukaMinato). A source-build package would be more useful, since sources are availabe from GitHub. Spamming -bin and -appimage packages to AUR is the easiest and laziest of packaging activities. But such are the least valuable if source code can be used as well. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/codemerx-decompile-bin/

[PRQ#43423] Deletion Request for cntk-cuda
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Aug '23

18 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for cntk-cuda [2]: Discontinued Microsoft AI toolkit. Last release was in April 2019. [a] Package broken since Oct 2019, because it hardcodes Python 3.7 site- packages path, and Arch shipped Python 3.8 then. Last comment apart from mine was made in 2021 about the same problem. Not useful to keep this package. Active development hasn't continued after 2019: only 5 minor commits in 2020, then one commit in 2022 by a Microsoft bot. [b] Current owner @joaquinito2051 just adopted 100+ packages throughout the last 1.5-2 years, but he never touched almost any of them, or maybe made one or two very trivial changes somewhere. He has never responded to any of my comments ever. Safe to delete this unneeded and defunct package. [a]: https://github.com/microsoft/CNTK/releases [b]: https://github.com/microsoft/CNTK/commits/master [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/cntk-cuda/
