by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 03 Dec '23

03 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for openfoam2.4-git [2]: Development discontinued since 2015. [a] I think there's not much point in keeping this VCS package.

[PRQ#46616] Deletion Request for system-config-samba
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 03 Dec '23

03 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for system-config-samba [2]: Orphan, broken Gtk2/Python2 based package. Discontinued by upstream Fedora / Red Hat since 2016 [a], and also by its fork project in Ubuntu, around 2017-2018. [b] Source tarball is hosted in AUR git repo. Depends on gksu which is discontinued and its use for giving GUI apps elevated (root) runtime privileges is strongly discouraged. On AUR, there is only an optional consumer which works just fine without this. Therefore I recommend deletion, and it is safe to do so. [a]: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/system-config-samba/c/852adbb2 [b]: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config- samba/+bug/1740419 [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/system-config-samba/

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-sidekit [2]: Orphan OOD scientific package from 2017. Not useful to keep here as is.

[PRQ#46201] Deletion Request for gr-limesdr-3.9-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Dec '23

01 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gr-limesdr-3.9-git [2]: There's no gnuradio 3.9 in either the Arch repos or on AUR. And this fork has been discontinued since 2022-03. [a] AUR has alternatives that work with the current gnurqdio 3.10: - gr-limesdr - gr-limesdr-git [a]: https://github.com/chrisjohgorman/gr-limesdr [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/gr-limesdr-3.9-git/

[PRQ#46529] Deletion Request for qtcreator-plugin-csd-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Dec '23

01 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for qtcreator-plugin-csd-git [2]: This optional Qt Creator 4.11 titlebar mod plugin has not been developed since 2019. [a] Its packaging is also broken: repo's Qt Creator 11 has its development source files in qtcreator-devel, but this still depends on qtcreator- src, for which there is only an abandoned Qt Creator 8 based package. Whereas as a runtime dependency, this declares repo's qtcteator, so even if built, this plugin won't work with that. I recommend deletion, as this provided at best a convenience feature mainly for people used to GNOME's menu icon based controls.

[PRQ#46168] Deletion Request for libtinyiiod-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Dec '23

01 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for libtinyiiod-git [2]: This library for Scopy is not developed since Jan 2022 [a], and current version of Scopy (AUR/scopy-git) does not use it (notified maintainer). Safe to delete this. (scopy-git is currently unbuildable, it needs changes for that to succeed.)

[PRQ#46165] Deletion Request for gnuradio-scopy-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Dec '23

01 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gnuradio-scopy-git [2]: Unneeded package from 2021 for gnuradio 3.8. Scopy now interfaces directly with gnuradio, and requires v3.10 of the latter. So this package is defunct. Its current consumer, scopy-git is unbuildable because its upstream requires gnuradio 3.10 (notified maintainer). Safe to delete this package.

[PRQ#46164] Deletion Request for gnuradio-iio-patched-3.8
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Dec '23

01 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gnuradio-iio-patched-3.8 [2]: Unneeded package for gnuradio 3.8, which is not maintained since 2022-03 (last release 2022-01). The one specific dependent of this package, scopy-git cannot be built atm because its upstream requires gnuradio 3.10 (notified maintainer). Safe to delete this package, as it no longer has any purpose. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/gnuradio-iio-patched-3.8/
