[PRQ#45944] Deletion Request for wasteland2
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 16 Nov '23

16 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for wasteland2 [2]: Seems to be an unmaintained package from 2016. Owner did not respond to PKGBUILD enhancement request made 2 years ago. Also it is not useful to keep this package. It is intended for a GOG release of a game, but uses an unrelated upstream URL that now shows 404. For the source file, there's no link at all - so it does not use a GOG downloader nor a direct file link. Also the package name is wrong and misleading. Not just because it doesn't include the customary '-gog' qualifier, but also because GOG now distributes two different versions of the game: - 'Deluxe Edition' of the Director's Cut version - 'Classic Eition' of the Director's Cut version I think it's best to delete this package. It's easier to install the game version of the user's choice manually, or using a game manager frontend like Lutris.

[PRQ#45940] Deletion Request for qjsonrpc
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 16 Nov '23

16 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for qjsonrpc [2]: Unused library abandoned by upstream since 2016. [a] VCS package in disguise. Was originally developed for Qt4, and the Qt5 port seems to have been discontinued in its early stages. Based on the commit history, only Qt 5.0 and 5.1 was targeted. As nothing depends on this, I recommend deletion. [a]: https://bitbucket.org/devonit/qjsonrpc/commits/ [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/qjsonrpc/

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for deepin-topbar-git [2]: Unmaintained package, flagged since 2022-03-06. Not a VCS build; uses a fixed version source tarball.
