MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for psp-oslib-git [2]: Orphan VCS package for a custom homebrew library for the PlayStation Portable (PSP) handheld, sold between 2004 and 2014. Last tagged release of this library was in 2014. [a] Nothing depends on it. Safe to delete.

[PRQ#45978] Deletion Request for vpndemon
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 16 Nov '23

16 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for vpndemon [2]: Broken orphan package from 2016. Improper VCS build: uses 'master.zip' from GitHub repo, instead of a version-pinned tarball. But not useful to keep: repo dropped the legacy libnm-glib in 2019, and this one still depends on that.

[PRQ#45975] Deletion Request for pantheon-stable
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 16 Nov '23

16 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for pantheon-stable [2]: Broken metapackage from 2020. Not needed: repo's 'pantheon' group can serve a similar purpose, to install all Pantheon related packages with one reference used in pacman command line.

[PRQ#45968] Deletion Request for barbarian
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 16 Nov '23

16 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for barbarian [2]: Ababdoned package from 2020; source tarball hosted in AUR repo; no upstream URL. A commenter linked one possible GitHub source in 2020, which has been abandoned since that year, and it seem like a student project, with only 59 commits.

[PRQ#45945] Deletion Request for lib32-sni-qt
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 16 Nov '23

16 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-sni-qt [2]: Unmaintained, broken optional addon from 2017 for lib32-qt4. It got dropped from repo in that year, and no one ever updated it on AUR since. Its functionality is mostly cosmetic, to enhance the QSystemTrayIcons with status indicators. I think it's only a slight 'nice to have' feature, but it seems no one felt it to be worth the trouble to work on this, so it's best to drop it at this point.

[PRQ#45944] Deletion Request for wasteland2
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 16 Nov '23

16 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for wasteland2 [2]: Seems to be an unmaintained package from 2016. Owner did not respond to PKGBUILD enhancement request made 2 years ago. Also it is not useful to keep this package. It is intended for a GOG release of a game, but uses an unrelated upstream URL that now shows 404. For the source file, there's no link at all - so it does not use a GOG downloader nor a direct file link. Also the package name is wrong and misleading. Not just because it doesn't include the customary '-gog' qualifier, but also because GOG now distributes two different versions of the game: - 'Deluxe Edition' of the Director's Cut version - 'Classic Eition' of the Director's Cut version I think it's best to delete this package. It's easier to install the game version of the user's choice manually, or using a game manager frontend like Lutris.

[PRQ#45941] Deletion Request for 5up
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 16 Nov '23

16 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for 5up [2]: Abandoned, broken package. Depends on lib32-qt4, which has been failing to build for a year. Though this build is not configured to make a 32-bit compilation. Upstream development discontinued since 2013.
