[PRQ#47019] Deletion Request for seexpr2
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 10 Feb '24

10 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for seexpr2 [2]: Legacy seexpr version from 2018. Its llvm7 dependency is reported broken since 2020. But no other package on AUR requires this, only the newer seexpr packages have dependents. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/seexpr2/

[PRQ#46967] Merge Request for pipewire-common-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 10 Feb '24

10 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge pipewire-common-git [2] into pipewire-git [3]: pipewire-common-git is a later created deliberate duplicate of pipewire-git, with a misleading name. @eh5, please submit your packaging ideas and suggestions on the existing package's page instead of creating unnecessary duplicates.

[PRQ#46939] Deletion Request for sequoia-redactor
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 10 Feb '24

10 Feb '24

TrialnError [1] filed a deletion request for sequoia-redactor [2]: Upstream seems to have removed the repo as it is not available anymore. Additionally it seems the former PKGBUILD maintainer was upstream and as it got orphaned this further cements the argument of removing this from aurweb.

[PRQ#47652] Deletion Request for darktable-cr3-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 10 Feb '24

10 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for darktable-cr3-git [2]: As per last comment made in 2022 mentions, this pkg is now the same as AUR/darktable-git, since cr3 support had been upstreamed earlier. Out-of-tree cr3 submodule has been removed from this PKGBUILD in 2021. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/darktable-cr3-git/

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 10 Feb '24

10 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gcstar-gitlab [2]: Unused, broken VCS package in disguise, without a pkgver() function. Users can use the stable AUR/gcstar build. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/gcstar-gitlab/

[PRQ#47641] Deletion Request for gitetc
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 10 Feb '24

10 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gitetc [2]: Abandoned package from 2016, upstream not developed since that year. It is not only badly packaged, missing several runtime dependencies, but also the source scripts are potentially dangerous: They invoke pacman (undeclared dependency) with sudo (undeclared dependency), and supress the CLI error output while executing commands with sudo. Also those scripts are very amateurish and rudimentary. They run git commands the most basic way. Many such commands are meant for interactive use, not scripting. And there is absolutely zero error / exception handling in those scripts, so they won't be able to react to any unexpected git output or error condition. I recommend deletion. There are better alternatives for versioning / snapshotting / backing up one's system configuration. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/gitetc/
