[PRQ#46636] Deletion Request for ms-teams-for-linux-bin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Jan '24

05 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ms-teams-for-linux-bin [2]: Newly submitted package, duplicates an earlier-created one: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/teams-for-linux-bin (The 'ms-' prefix is superfluous and misleading, as both packages are for the unofficial, non-Microsoft-made "Teams for Linux" client.)

[PRQ#46719] Deletion Request for cpdf-bin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Jan '24

05 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for cpdf-bin [2]: Orphan binary package. I recommend deletion, as it is not useful to keep if not updated. There is an actively maintained AUR/cpdf package. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/cpdf-bin/

[PRQ#46686] Deletion Request for python-bibtex
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Jan '24

05 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-bibtex [2]: Wrongly named Python2 package from 2016. But not needed: only the broken, unbuildable pybliographer from 2016 depends on it, which I also submitted for deletion (PRQ#46685).

[PRQ#46661] Deletion Request for hypervc-qt4
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Jan '24

05 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for hypervc-qt4 [2]: Qt4 GUI for FFMPEG, binary build in disguise from 2008. [a] Project discontinued since that year. Not worth keeping: there are good and maintained alternatives. [a]: https://sourceforge.net/projects/hypervideoconve/files/hypervideoconve/hype… [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/hypervc-qt4/

[PRQ#47043] Deletion Request for libretro-pocketsnes-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Jan '24

05 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for libretro-pocketsnes-git [2]: Unneeded, unmaintained VCS package from 2015. Upstream no longer exists under this name: the successor project is called snes9x. There are packages for both standalone and LibRetro builds of that in Arch extra repo, as well as git VCS equivalents of those on AUR. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/libretro-pocketsnes-git/

[PRQ#47622] Deletion Request for glue
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 03 Jan '24

03 Jan '24

a821 [1] filed a deletion request for glue [2]: Orphan, no votes, no comments. One time effort from 2017. The PKGBUILD is in bad shape (it depends on both python 2 and 3 for some reason) and it fails to build in a clean chroot, most likely due to undeclared dependencies and nonsensical package function. Safe to delete. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/a821/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/glue/

[PRQ#47001] Deletion Request for nodejs-pouchdb-dump-cli
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 03 Jan '24

03 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for nodejs-pouchdb-dump-cli [2]: Abandoned package from 2017, original upstream not developed since 2016. [a] It has a niche use case, and seems there is zero user feedback on AUR. (There's an updated fork on npmjs, but former AUR maintainer disowned this after I flagged it with the info about the fork. For those who need that fork, installing it with npm is the best option instead of trying to utilize this dead AUR package.) [a]: https://github.com/nolanlawson/pouchdb-dump-cli [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/nodejs-pouchdb-dump-cli/

[PRQ#47041] Deletion Request for bizou
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 03 Jan '24

03 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for bizou [2]: Abandoned build for a PHP5 based simple image gallery web backend from 2013. Doesn't work with its current dependency, php, which is at v8. Better to delete. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/bizou/
