[PRQ#48921] Deletion Request for csl
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Feb '24

27 Feb '24

a821 [1] filed a deletion request for csl [2]: Abandoned package from 2015. Last version released from upstream in 2008. The PKGBUILD's been broken since at least 2015 (noted in 2018) since there is no package() function. No votes nor reverse depends. Safe to delete.

[PRQ#48888] Deletion Request for mdbtools-unixodbc-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Feb '24

27 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mdbtools-unixodbc-git [2]: Unused, broken VCS package from 2015, which depends on a broken duplicate of itself, AUR/mdbtools-git - the latter also enables unixodbc support in its configuration.

[PRQ#48952] Deletion Request for automake-1.11
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Feb '24

27 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for automake-1.11 [2]: Proposal to delete this legacy version from 2012, as nothing on AUR requires it. This is also not a drop-in replacement of core repo's automake, so it shouldn't have had the provides=automake field. But there's no evidence of usage after 2018, so I believe it is safe to delete now. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/automake-1.11/

[PRQ#48951] Deletion Request for automake-1.7
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Feb '24

27 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for automake-1.7 [2]: Nothing on AUR requires this very old automake version from 2003. It is also not a drop-in replacement of repo's automake, so it shouldn't have had the provides=automake field. But it's safe to delete, as there is no evidence of usage by anyone.

[PRQ#49076] Deletion Request for mplayer2
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Feb '24

27 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mplayer2 [2]: Broken EOL media player from 2013, mpv is the successor. This is a badly configured VCS package in disguise, using master.tar.gz instead of a git clone. Last commit of this fork is from 2017. The package is unbuildable.

[PRQ#49027] Deletion Request for pythonbrew
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Feb '24

27 Feb '24

a821 [1] filed a deletion request for pythonbrew [2]: It's been broken package for ages because of missing package() function. No worth fixing or keeping in the AUR either, due to being deprecated by upstream (this has been noted in the comments), who recommends `pyenv` instead. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/a821/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/pythonbrew/
