[PRQ#45884] Deletion Request for ros2-foxy
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 15 Oct '23

15 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ros2-foxy [2]: Unneeded package from 2021. This is the build automation package to create all versioned packages to be uploaded to the repo of the ROS 2 Foxy distribution. But that is EOL since 2023-06-20; their CI system won't ever build new versions. The last (frozen) version of the packages are 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/

[PRQ#45300] Deletion Request for gsettings-xsettings-schemas
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 12 Oct '23

12 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gsettings-xsettings-schemas [2]: As per owner's last comment from 2021, this package is not needed and not maintained anymore. It was created in 2020 to work around some font rendering issues in Flatpak apps under Wayland, which have since been fixed upstream.

[PRQ#45296] Deletion Request for libcap-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 12 Oct '23

12 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for libcap-git [2]: Abandoned VCS pkg from 2021-01, by MIA owner @shoober420. With non-monotonic pkgver(), which uses the randomly increasing and decreasing commit hash. (git rev-parse --short HEAD) The manually entered pkgver value is therefore bogus. But it seems there's not much interest in this package: 1 vote, and the last comment mentioning some problems is from 1 year ago. And since 2021 only 2 people commented beside the maintainer.

[PRQ#45295] Orphan Request for noto-fonts-emoji-apple
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 12 Oct '23

12 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed an orphan request for noto-fonts-emoji-apple [2]: I would like to take over the maintenance of this package. Currently it is erroneously a VCS build in disguise. I have requested this to be rectified on 2022-04-08, but current owner didn't bother with it at all.

12 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mingw-w64-kross [2]: Unused, very outdated win64 libary build from 2020. Not beneficial to keep as it cannot be executed on its own. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/mingw-w64-kross/

[PRQ#45294] Deletion Request for blender-2.7-plugin-luxcorerender
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 12 Oct '23

12 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for blender-2.7-plugin- luxcorerender [2]: Legacy build, VCS package in disguise. Tracks the '2_79_maintenance' branch which has been discontinued since 2019. [a] I think it is not needed. Current stable plugin on AUR supports Blender 3.0, and the just-released beta version supports the latest Blender 3.6 available in Arch repo. Blender 2.70 was released in 2014 and was supported until 2017 with release v2.79. It has severe build issues now, and old prebuilt binaries don't work with current system libraries. [a]: https://github.com/LuxCoreRender/BlendLuxCore/tree/2_79_maintenance [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/blender-2.7-plugin-luxcorerender/

12 Oct '23

FabioLolix [1] filed an orphan request for nfs-ganesha-git [2]: Untouched since 2018-11-16 like the companion nfs-ganesha from the same maintainer, pkgbuild need some improvement, last version that builds on Arch Linux is years old but builds fails are not reported upstream [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/FabioLolix/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/nfs-ganesha-git/

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for fstransform-git [2]: Orphan and broken package. Last updated in 2019. Seems no one wants to maintain it or even use it. Better to delete. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/fstransform-git/
