by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 30 Oct '23

30 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mingw-w64-libpurple [2]: Orphan, outdated library, short-time effort (2021-12-08 - 2021-12-11). Nothing depends on it, and cannot be built because of a missing transitive dependency. Its related dependencies are also orphan leftovers.

[PRQ#45616] Deletion Request for vocp-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 30 Oct '23

30 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for vocp-git [2]: Development stopped since 2016 [a], no need to keep this VCS package. AUR still has a stable package from same maintainer: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vocp The latter is almost the same as the VCS one, lacking just two small commits, which can be easily added there as patches. [a]: https://github.com/ppickfor/vocp [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/vocp-git/

[PRQ#45612] Deletion Request for arduide-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 30 Oct '23

30 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for arduide-git [2]: Discontinued Qt4 based IDE for Arduino development; upstream code not touched since 2016. [a] Package is broken due to missing Qt4 based qscintilla dependency. As per maintainer's last comment from 2020: " Actually, everybody should use Code + PlatformIO instead of this very out of date, abandonned IDE. " [a]: https://github.com/mupuf/arduide [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/arduide-git/

[PRQ#45610] Deletion Request for prokit-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 29 Oct '23

29 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for prokit-git [2]: Unmaintained VCS package from 2015. Same owner already orphaned their former stable package (AUR/prokit). This one does not follow VCS package guidelines, as I've pointed out in a comment in June. But @ser seems to be MIA since a year ago. The development in upstream repo discontinued two years ago. [a] So I recommend to delete this package. [a]: http://git.proteanos.com/prokit/prokit.git/ [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/prokit-git/

[PRQ#45606] Merge Request for python-snakemake-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 29 Oct '23

29 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge python-snakemake-git [2] into snakemake-git [3]: @alienzj, the submitter who created the python-snakemake-git package later adopted, but not yet updated, the earlier-existing snakemake- git. This is a CLI application, no need for the 'python-' prefix. Also there's already a maintained stable package on AUR with the expected name 'snakemake'. While both VCS packages that are the subject of this request need changes to adapt to upstream, and I am not yet sure about maintainer's current and future availability, it's better to have one VCS PKGBUILD instead of two. :) Also the stable snakemake package can provide a good starting point when modernizing the VCS build.
