[PRQ#46737] Deletion Request for libvpx-1.7
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 20 Jan '24

20 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for libvpx-1.7 [2]: Nothing requires this legacy version from 2019, and it conflicts with repo's libvpx and therefore with gstreamer, ffmpeg, vlc, mpv, firefox. So this cannot be used in a typical desktop system. Better to delete. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/libvpx-1.7/

[PRQ#46918] Deletion Request for waterfox-g3-bin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 20 Jan '24

20 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for waterfox-g3-bin [2]: Waterfox G3 version line is out of development since 2021: last G3 release date is September 15, 2021. [a] This package is reported defunct as per last user feedback: "tbb commented on 2022-12-25: it keeps crashing :(" The current main version line of WaterFox is G5, and the website no longer offers WaterFox G3 for download. [b] I don't see any point in keeping this non-working package on AUR; there are PKGBUILDs for the current WaterFox here.

[PRQ#53089] Merge Request for libuhd3-umtrx
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 20 Jan '24

20 Jan '24

fixeria [1] filed a request to merge libuhd3-umtrx [2] into libuhd- umtrx [3]: It's no longer needed to depend on old libuhd3, the current master builds fine against libuhd v4.6.0.0.

[PRQ#48365] Deletion Request for mingw-w64-paraview510
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 20 Jan '24

20 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mingw-w64-paraview510 [2]: Unused legacy package with wrong name* (not for major version 510, but for version 5.10). (* Arch package guidelines only allow major version number to be attached to pkgname, otherwise one should use dots where needed, or preferably follow the pattern used in Ruby package guidelines.) PKGBUILD uses undeclared sources: executes curl (undeclared makedepend) to download many patch files, without checksum verification. Maintainer ignored my request I made in a comment on 2023-09-12 to rectify this issue. There's an AUR/mingw-w64-paraview package, which has the same violations. But I think that one should be corrected and this superfluous build can be deleted. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/mingw-w64-paraview510/

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 20 Jan '24

20 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lua-rings [2]: Abandoned, unused, deprecated, broken Lua package from 2019. Missing some dependencies. Safe to delete: the statements above are also true for its consumer, lua-wsapi, so I've submitted that for deletion as well (PRQ#47650).

[PRQ#47650] Deletion Request for lua-wsapi
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 20 Jan '24

20 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lua-wsapi [2]: Broken, unneeded, abandoned Lua module from 2019. Missing some of its dependencies. Safe to delete, as its only consumer is a wsapi addon pkg, lua-wsapi- xavante, which is also broken and abandoned since years (submitted for deletion: PRQ#47620). [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/lua-wsapi/
