[PRQ#45978] Deletion Request for vpndemon
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 16 Nov '23

16 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for vpndemon [2]: Broken orphan package from 2016. Improper VCS build: uses 'master.zip' from GitHub repo, instead of a version-pinned tarball. But not useful to keep: repo dropped the legacy libnm-glib in 2019, and this one still depends on that.

[PRQ#45975] Deletion Request for pantheon-stable
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 16 Nov '23

16 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for pantheon-stable [2]: Broken metapackage from 2020. Not needed: repo's 'pantheon' group can serve a similar purpose, to install all Pantheon related packages with one reference used in pacman command line.

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for barbarian [2]: Ababdoned package from 2020; source tarball hosted in AUR repo; no upstream URL. A commenter linked one possible GitHub source in 2020, which has been abandoned since that year, and it seem like a student project, with only 59 commits.

[PRQ#45945] Deletion Request for lib32-sni-qt
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 16 Nov '23

16 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-sni-qt [2]: Unmaintained, broken optional addon from 2017 for lib32-qt4. It got dropped from repo in that year, and no one ever updated it on AUR since. Its functionality is mostly cosmetic, to enhance the QSystemTrayIcons with status indicators. I think it's only a slight 'nice to have' feature, but it seems no one felt it to be worth the trouble to work on this, so it's best to drop it at this point.
