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

04 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-sni-qt-eplus-bzr [2]: Broken Qt4 VCS package from 2015, missing a dependency; long EOL. AUR still has stable packages for this. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/lib32-sni-qt-eplus-bzr/

[PRQ#46867] Merge Request for gr-foo
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Nov '23

02 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge gr-foo [2] into gr-foo-git [3]: gr-foo is an unmaintained, broken VCS package in disguise from 2020. Upstream does not have versioned git tagged releases. Fellow AUR user @dreieck has created a corrected gr-foo-git and maintains it adequately.

[PRQ#46343] Merge Request for chirp-daily
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Nov '23

02 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge chirp-daily [2] into chirp-next [3]: chirp-daily is an orphan package last updated in 2022. Upstream has been working on a rewrite called 'chirp-next', which at this point is quite stable and mature. The 'chirp-next' package seems to be a suitable alternative to the defunct 'daily' one, for the latest experimental snapshot.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Nov '23

02 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge audacium-git [2] into tenacity- git [3]: audacium-git is an orphan package. Audacium upstream has announced in Jan 2023 that they officially merged with the Tenacity project and repo. [a] The Audacium repo is archived. [a] AUR users should be well-informed now, as @dreieck was kind enough to mention this change in a comment in Feb 2023, and his comment is the last one on the AUR/audacium-git page.

[PRQ#45749] Deletion Request for lighttable-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 31 Oct '23

31 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lighttable-git [2]: This "next-generation IDE" has last seen a release in 2016. [a] The develop branch has been active until 2 years ago, but then got abandoned, and the repo has been archived since 2022. [b] The application builds successfully (albeit with a lot of warnings), but when it is executed, it only opens an empty Electron window with a branded "Light Table" logo as a background image, and there are no functional elements visible. The Electron standard menu bar is shown for me on KDE, but none of the menu items respond. Actually even the Quit function or the (X) button of the window is defunct: the application can only be forcefully terminated or killed. Better to delete this package then. There are very good alternatives.
