[PRQ#47524] Deletion Request for notify-osd-customizable
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 28 Jan '24

28 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for notify-osd-customizable [2]: Abandoned patched pkg from 2018; tarball created in 2016. Though there is a third-party upgraded patch from 2020, but the accompanying configuration utility, notifyconf, is a broken orphan Qt4 build, whose upstream is discontinued since 2013. Without the latter, there is no point in trying to revive this PKGBUILD. AUR/notifyconf's last comment is from 2013, and for notify-osd- customizable, there was one user comment in 2016 and one in 2020, mentioning a bug in this application's functionality. For the later, previous maintainer replied that they no longer use this package and cannot offer assistance or bugfix. Arch repo still carries the original Ubuntu variant of notify-osd. Safe to delete this deprecated pkg. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/notify-osd-customizable/

[PRQ#46988] Deletion Request for jdk16-graalvm-bin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 28 Jan '24

28 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for jdk16-graalvm-bin [2]: Proposal to delete this. EOL for JDK16, as per owners's comment made in 2021. Only a few jdk16-graalvm addons depend on it - I've submitted them for deletion as well. No actual application requires these on AUR. There's a newer package for same purpose, based on a currently supported JDK/JRE, and the corresponding addon module packages also exist on AUR.

[PRQ#47977] Deletion Request for perl-extutils-parsexs
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 28 Jan '24

28 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for perl-extutils-parsexs [2]: Arch [core] repo's perl 5.38.0-1 (upstream release: 2023-07-03) includes and provides the latest version of this module, 3.51. No need to keep this separate, currently older versioned package. At the moment this uses upstream's 3.44 (2022-01-06) tarball, plus Fedora's off-CPAN diff patch for 3.45, acquired from Perl's 5.36.0 (2022-05-28) tarball. The Fedora patch is no longer available (404 not found). So this package has been broken for some time - but no one notified the maintainer. It is clear at this point that Perl ships the latest version of this module first, or sometimes the Perl tar is the only published source for it. (2 months after Perl 5.38.0's parsexs 3.51, MetaCPAN also got this same release.) Not useful to keep this package, and also it is contrary to AUR submission guidelines of no duplication.

[PRQ#47918] Deletion Request for libkipi
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 28 Jan '24

28 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for libkipi [2]: gwenview and spectacle stopped using libkipi since KDE Gear release 22.04.0. [a] That's why Arch dropped this package in April 2022 to AUR, as from then on, no KDE Gear app is able to use this library. It is pointless to keep it.

[PRQ#47875] Deletion Request for dhcpcd8
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 28 Jan '24

28 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for dhcpcd8 [2]: I recommend to delete this legacy dhcpcd v8 package, originally submitted in 2021. As nothing on AUR depends on it anymore, and it conflicts with repo's dhcpcd (v10). [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/dhcpcd8/

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for dhcpcd8-git [2]: dhcpcd v8 is EOL, and is not developed since Apr 2022. [a] So it seems to me that this VCS package is not useful to keep anymore.

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for flast-gecko-nightly [2]: Abandoned package from 2020. This fork of Mozilla Gecko rendering engine has not been developed since 2021.
