[PRQ#42720] Merge Request for wine-x64
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge wine-x64 [2] into wine-wow64 [3]: wine-x64 AUR package is not very actively maintained. It also does not declare the necessary provides (wine). Therefore it cannot be installed together with other packages that depend on wine. @tiziodcaio created a new fork of this package, wine-wow64, and he actively maintains it ever since. So it's better to merge this not-too-proper older package to the new, improved variant that is packaged correctly.

[PRQ#42699] Deletion Request for gnutls-nodocs-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gnutls-nodocs-git [2]: Abandoned variant of gnutls-git from 2021. Has not been kept at feature-parity with repo gnutls. Not needed: gnutls-git is enough to keep, and it has an active and dedicated maintainer. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/gnutls-nodocs-git/

[PRQ#42694] Deletion Request for lib32-icu-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-icu-git [2]: Abandoned VCS package from 2021. Owner MIA since then. Does not implement expected pkgver(). Current .SRCINFO "pkgver = 68.2" is fake: pkgver() just counts the number of commits and appends the short-hash. But there's no point in keeping this package. 0 comments, 1 vote. Arch repo carries the latest stable version. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/lib32-icu-git/

[PRQ#42693] Deletion Request for lib32-glib2-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-glib2-git [2]: Abandoned VCS package from 2020. Owner MIA since 2021. pkgver() is wrong: no guarantee for monotonicity. 1 vote / 0 comment. I recommend deletion. Arch repo carries the stable version. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/lib32-glib2-git/

[PRQ#42690] Deletion Request for lib32-libcap-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-libcap-git [2]: Abandoned VCS package from 2021. Current .SRCINFO pkgver is fake, because the pkgver() just prints git rev-parse --short HEAD But no one complained: 0 comments, 1 vote. I recommend deletion. Arch repo carries stable variant.

[PRQ#42685] Deletion Request for lib32-gnutls-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-gnutls-git [2]: Unmaintained VCS package from 2021. Owner MIA since that year. Build does not use the same options as Arch [multilib] lib32-gnutls does. pkgver() does not guarantee monotonicity. Package not needed: 1 vote, only 1 comment from owner from 2021. Arch repo lib32-gnutls is there for users. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/lib32-gnutls-git/

[PRQ#42663] Deletion Request for neovim-nightly
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for neovim-nightly [2]: This new package is a misguided alternative/duplicate of neovim-git. Source links to a GitHub 'nightly' source tarball (not binary), without verifying its checksum. (Please note; the neovim project also has erroneously pushed two problematic git tags, 'stable' and 'nightly'. I don't know what they intend to do with them, but I guess they will use force-push to change the pointers behind those tags from time to time.) Anyhow, this package is wrong and not needed: users are advised to use the correctly maintained neovim-git package. There is also a neovim-nightly-bin package if someone wants to test upstream's nightly binary on Arch. So this package is both wrong and superfluous. Please delete.

[PRQ#42652] Deletion Request for python-piff
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-piff [2]: This dual Py2/Py3 astronomical research package is severely broken. Orphaned, last updated in 2018. 0 votes, and only I commented a year ago about its brokenness. Best to delete from AUR. Scientists and other interested experts are best served by installing the maintained Conda-Forge or PyPI package.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

Has no votes, and only I commented about its brokenness a year ago. Got no answer. Safe to delete: nothing depends on it.
