[PRQ#47892] Deletion Request for pigz-gzip-symlink
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Feb '24

05 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for pigz-gzip-symlink [2]: This is a problematic package. Replaces gzip, which is part of Arch base, meaning that the latter *should* be a part of every Arch install. Uses mkdir inside package() instead of install. Uses an embedded $(which pigz) and $(which unpigz) when creating symlinks, to find the defined pigz executable in the runtime environment, which means it will potentially create and install a symlink in /usr/bin that points to an arbitrary location, and also can lead to a different result in a clean chroot environment, a custom chroot environment, and user's own runtime environment when built with makepkg.

[PRQ#47891] Deletion Request for gzip-with-pigz-symlinks
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Feb '24

05 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gzip-with-pigz-symlinks [2]: Abandoned, outdated package from 2020. Unnecessarily builds and installs gzip, but then deletes the gzip executable and replaces it with a symlink to pigz, referring to the latter without path. gzip is part of Arch base and base-devel, so it should not be replaced with something else.
