[PRQ#46595] Deletion Request for gnu-netcat-svn
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 22 Dec '23

22 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gnu-netcat-svn [2]: Unneeded developmental VCS package, since gnu-netcat's Subversion repo has not been updated since 2013 [a], and the project is dead and unsupported. [b] Arch repo carries the latest stable release of gnu-netcat. If applicable, please consider submitting an Arch ticket to update that repo package with some or all of the (few) unreleased patches from upstream. Otherwise, it is advisable for people to use the much newer and actively maintained openbsd-netcat implementation, built from Debian's repackage of it in Arch repo. [a]: https://sourceforge.net/p/netcat/code/HEAD/tree/ [b]: https://sourceforge.net/p/netcat/support-requests/6/ [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/gnu-netcat-svn/

[PRQ#46472] Deletion Request for advanced-rest-client-appimage
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 22 Dec '23

22 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for advanced-rest-client- appimage [2]: This new package is an orphan now, but it is also superfluous on AUR. As there is already a binary based package, currently named advanced- rest-client, carrying the same release version. I've left feedback on the latter's page for its maintainer, to maybe rename/resubmit that package with a '-bin' designation. But the important thing is, said package has the same essential functionality as this orphan one, that's why I recommend deletion.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Dec '23

21 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ironpython [2]: Unmaintained old package from 2018, with a wrong name (should have been ironpython2). This is a Python2 interpreter & runtime for Mono/Dotnet. Meanwhile upstream has released IronPython3 (for Python3). Not useful to keep this defunct package. Nothing depends on it.
