[PRQ#47011] Merge Request for msamanda
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 15 Sep '23

15 Sep '23

levitsky [1] filed a request to merge msamanda [2] into msamanda-bin [3]: Creating a package msamanda-bin instead, this package was always binary. No votes or comments, so maybe nothing to merge. Not sure if there is difference for package managers. Feel free to delete instead if it's completely the same.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 15 Sep '23

15 Sep '23

somepaulo [1] filed a deletion request for ginvoice [2]: This seems to have stalled upstream, it doesn't really work outside of Ubuntu, and the dev did not reply to the respective issue for several months. There's no point having this in Arch. Please delete. Thank you. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/somepaulo/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/ginvoice/

[PRQ#46792] Deletion Request for abgx360gui
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 15 Sep '23

15 Sep '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for abgx360gui [2]: Unfortunately this code that is used for creating Xbox360 "home backup" (or pirated) ISO's is illegal to use and redistribute, because it is an unlicensed continuation fork made by GitHub user @BakasuraRCE of the fully copyrighted abgx360 / abgx360gui source code. [a] The abgx360.hadzz.com website has a remark: "© 2008-2020 by Seacrest, © 2021-2023 by Hadzz" [a] 1) 'abgx360gui' package: The abgx360gui source does not contain a license file or comment, but every C++ source file contains a header stating the author's identity - see for example 'abgx360gui.cpp' [b]: "// // Name: abgx360gui.cpp // Author: Seacrest // Created: 10/8/2007 9:06:46 PM // Description: abgx360gui class implementation " @BakasuraRCE's for adds an additional line to the above [c]: "// Author: 2021 Bakasura <bakasura(a)protonmail.ch>" But their change is not legal, as they did not have the license permission to modify and redistribute the code. 2) 'abgx360' package The main backend executable file, 'abgx360.c', which does all the actual workload, bears the statement [d]: "Copyright 2008-2012 by Seacrest <Seacrest[at]abgx360[dot]net>" The implication is the standard "all rights reserved". In 2021-07-25 @FabioLolix has raised the license question in a comment on the AUR/abgx360 page, but submitter expressed unwillingness to address it. I do not see any other legal choice but to delete this package. I've submitted the related deletion request for AUR/abgx360 as PRQ#46791. [a]: https://abgx360.hadzz.com/download.php [b]: https://abgx360.hadzz.com/dl/abgx360gui-1.0.2.tar.gz [c]: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BakasuraRCE/abgx360/c38475c/abgx360gui/sr… [d]: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BakasuraRCE/abgx360/c38475c/linux/abgx360… [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/abgx360gui/

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for abgx360 [2]: Unfortunately this code that is used for Xbox360 "home backup" (or pirated) ISO's is illegal to use and redistribute, because it is an unlicensed continuation fork of a fully copyrighted source code, bearing the brief disclaimer in its main application 'abgx360.c': "Copyright 2008-2012 by Seacrest <Seacrest[at]abgx360[dot]net>" [a] The implication is the standard "all rights reserved".

[PRQ#46980] Deletion Request for abgx360gui
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 15 Sep '23

15 Sep '23

Bakasura [1] filed a deletion request for abgx360gui [2]: Greetings, esteemed AUR team, I wish to draw your attention to a matter brought forth by the individual known as MarsSeed, who has seen fit to initiate a petition for the removal of this repository based upon two distinct contentions: 1. Alleged Illegality 2. Ostensible Lack of License for Software Dispensation Allow me the privilege of counterarguing as follows: Regarding Point 1: The assertion of software illegality, as posited by the user MarsSeed, merits elucidation. It is crucial to clarify that the creation of software designed for the facilitation of game backup procedures per se is not inherently illegal. Rather, the transgression resides in the act of disseminating said software sans authorization from the copyright holder. Furthermore, it is imperative to underscore that the party with the rightful standing to assert grievance on account of this software's ostensible implications would be none other than the original authors of the games in question. It is incumbent upon them to furnish substantiated evidence of perceived harm and subsequently resort to the judicial realm, rather than invoking the jurisdiction of AUR. Regarding Point 2: MarsSeed's contention with regard to the purported copyright safeguarding of the original source code by virtue of Seacrest's failure to explicitly extend a license warrants examination. It is incumbent upon me to dispel this notion as misconceived. The categorization of the source code as protected under the aegis of copyright is contingent upon the nuanced interpretation of legal statutes as applicable within the geographical confines of the jurisdiction. It follows, therefore, that the solitary party endowed with the requisite authority to raise such a contention would be none other than the very progenitor of said code, namely Seacrest. I extend my gratitude for your esteemed consideration of this discourse. Sincerely, Bakasura [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/Bakasura/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/abgx360gui/

redfish [1] filed a deletion request for xd-torrent-git [2]: Delete this VCS version in favor of xd-torrent release version. That one is sufficient, since user base is too small to bother maintaining two packages. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/redfish/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/xd-torrent-git/
