[PRQ#47531] Deletion Request for qt5-pmp-quickcontrols
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Sep '23

18 Sep '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for qt5-pmp-quickcontrols [2]: Unused, deprecated Qt5 5.9.5 pkg from 2018. Its foundational dependency, qt5-pmp-base was reported broken (FTBFS) since 2020. Source URL leads to 404 not found error. Nothing depends on it, apart from other broken orphan 'qt5-pmp' packages from same submitter, same year. Safe to delete.

[PRQ#47415] Deletion Request for makepkg-nosudo
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Sep '23

18 Sep '23

eclairevoyant [1] filed a deletion request for makepkg-nosudo [2]: Instead of installing its own alternate `makepkg` script, it intentionally breaks the one provided by `pacman` using a post-install hook. This seems suspect and is of highly questionable utility for an Arch user. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/eclairevoyant/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/makepkg-nosudo/

[PRQ#47520] Deletion Request for nvidia-pf
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Sep '23

18 Sep '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for nvidia-pf [2]: It is not useful to keep this badly and sporadically maintained package. I've explained the problems in a comment in 2023-06, as well as in emails to the maintainer. He was unwilling to address those, and he still does not even regularly update the version. Also he updates his linux-pf package a bit more frequently than this - which in many cases breaks this package. My comment from 2023-06-22, the day of the last update: " This new version is wrong. It just repackages the current, fixed version of repo nvidia-dkms for the linux-pf kernel that is currently installed. The package will prevent pacman sysupgrade the instant repo pushes a new version update to nvidia-utils (because of this versioned depends). It will also break when there is a new linux-pf update without a new nvidia-pf update. It can also potentially break if there is a simultaneous new linux-pf update and nvidia-pf bump, if the user just builds linux-pf without immediately installing it, then builds nvidia-pf, then wants to install both. (The reason behind the latter is this line of PKGBUILD [*a], which was designed for a specific setup of build steps - building, then installing the intended kernel version before creating the nvidia module package.) It's better to just rely on nvidia-dkms, which will do the correct thing every time there's a new linux-pf update and won't ever prevent sysupgrade. My recommendation still stands: delete this package, no one has used it for the last 2-3 years, and no one needs to."
