[PRQ#46580] Deletion Request for opennx
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 07 Jan '24

07 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for opennx [2]: Defunct, discontinued NX protocol based remote desktop client from 2016. [a] Upstream website is an empty page. [b] PKGBUILD reported broken in 2017. Its dependency wxgtk2.8 cannot be built due to some cryptic "thread.h not found" error which so far even several experienced maintainers have not been able to track down. But there is no need to keep this deprecated package alive: there are better alternative remote desktop clients. Also Remmina for example supports the NX proticol.

[PRQ#46636] Deletion Request for ms-teams-for-linux-bin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Jan '24

05 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ms-teams-for-linux-bin [2]: Newly submitted package, duplicates an earlier-created one: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/teams-for-linux-bin (The 'ms-' prefix is superfluous and misleading, as both packages are for the unofficial, non-Microsoft-made "Teams for Linux" client.)

[PRQ#46719] Deletion Request for cpdf-bin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Jan '24

05 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for cpdf-bin [2]: Orphan binary package. I recommend deletion, as it is not useful to keep if not updated. There is an actively maintained AUR/cpdf package. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/cpdf-bin/

[PRQ#46686] Deletion Request for python-bibtex
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Jan '24

05 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-bibtex [2]: Wrongly named Python2 package from 2016. But not needed: only the broken, unbuildable pybliographer from 2016 depends on it, which I also submitted for deletion (PRQ#46685).

[PRQ#46661] Deletion Request for hypervc-qt4
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Jan '24

05 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for hypervc-qt4 [2]: Qt4 GUI for FFMPEG, binary build in disguise from 2008. [a] Project discontinued since that year. Not worth keeping: there are good and maintained alternatives. [a]: https://sourceforge.net/projects/hypervideoconve/files/hypervideoconve/hype… [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/hypervc-qt4/

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 31 Dec '23

31 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for kcm-lookandfeel-standalone- git [2]: Broken VCS package from 2019, for a discontinued fork from same year of the also-discontinued "klookandfeel" KCM module. Also this package is not useful on KDE, as it conflicts with plasma- workspace. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/kcm-lookandfeel-standalone-git/

[PRQ#46504] Deletion Request for mangonel-frameworks-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 31 Dec '23

31 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mangonel-frameworks-git [2]: Defunct VCS package from 2019. The "frameworks" branch used here as source has been deleted by upstream for years - doesn't exist anymore. [a] (That branch was for porting this software from the Qt4-based KDE4 to the Qt5 based KDE Frameworks 5.x.) AUR has a mangonel-git package that builds the latest code from master branch. [a]: https://invent.kde.org/utilities/mangonel/-/branches [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/mangonel-frameworks-git/

[PRQ#46496] Deletion Request for edena
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 31 Dec '23

31 Dec '23

a821 [1] filed a deletion request for edena [2]: Sources are 404. Orphan, last updated in 2015, no reverse depends, 1 vote, no comments. The main site, https://www.genomic.ch/, seems broken so I cannot check whether the sources are around. It seems no one needs this.
