by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ros2-galactic-xacro [2]: VCS package in disguise from 2021, but not needed: The ROS 2 Galactic distribution is EOL since 2022-12-09. [a] Their CI system won't ever build new releases of any applications like this, and the last (frozen) version is available from their binary repo. Users are encouraged to migrate to a newer distribution.

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ros2-foxy-xacro [2]: Unneeded VCS package in disguise from 2021. Not needed anymore: the ROS 2 Foxy distribution is EOL since 2023-06-20; their CI system won't ever build new releases of any applications like this, and the last (frozen) version is available from their binary repo. Users are encouraged to migrate to a newer distribution. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/ros2-foxy-xacro/

[PRQ#45882] Deletion Request for bootstrap5
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for bootstrap5 [2]: One-time effort orphan package from 2021, for the Bootstrap JavaScript front-end library. Current pkgver is for a beta release. It is not useful to have this on AUR. As this should be delivered to the web browser client by a server backend, and the packaging method depends on which web backend server framework is used.

[PRQ#45880] Deletion Request for rtl8814au-morrownr-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for rtl8814au-morrownr-git [2]: This package was submitted in 2022, with a wrong name. As this is a dkms module, should have '-dkms' in its pkgname. But there's already a correct AUR package for this, since 2017: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtl8814au-dkms-git (The latter also packages the driver maintained by the developer called 'morrownr'.) Please delete this unneeded duplicate. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/rtl8814au-morrownr-git/

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gpp-decrypt-git [2]: Executes sudo pip3 install for two different modules. @kleintux called this out in 2022-12, but maintainer did nothing. Please delete this problematic package. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/gpp-decrypt-git/

[PRQ#45877] Deletion Request for gtfobins-explorer-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gtfobins-explorer-git [2]: Problematic Python2 based package from 2022-05; maintainer unresponsive. PKGBUILD executes 'sudo pip2 install html2text', to install another package in system. @kleintux mentioned this problem in 2022-12, but owner did nothing. Better to delete this package.

[PRQ#45876] Deletion Request for python-json2csv-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-json2csv-git [2]: Unused, broken Python2 (!) package from 2017. Not needed by any other pkg. And it has a wrong name. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-json2csv-git/

[PRQ#45873] Deletion Request for python-websockify
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-websockify [2]: Unmaintained duplicate from 2021 of a much longer existing AUR package (since 2013): https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/websockify The latter has the correct name, as this is a Python-based server daemon with a built-in CLI interface. (There's also a websockify-git on AUR.) Also this package is broken due to having a python2 subpackage with missing dependencies. Safe to delete. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-websockify/

[PRQ#45870] Deletion Request for emspring
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for emspring [2]: Broken scientific application from 2017, based on Python2, OpenGL, qt4-webkit and Java. Upstream and source missing: host unreachable. PKGBUILD also uses wget to fetch an undeclared source script, and executes python2-pip for installation. Nothing depends on this defunct package; I recommend deletion.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

lahwaacz [1] filed a deletion request for wireguard-reresolve-dns [2]: useless package which literally just copy-pastes two systemd units from the wiki [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/lahwaacz/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/wireguard-reresolve-dns/
