[PRQ#49640] Deletion Request for nosudo
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 31 Mar '24

31 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for nosudo [2]: This dummy sudo script from 2015 *might* be useful for debugging sudo usage - albeit it doesn't support all sudo features and its upstream development halted in 2016 -, but it's definitely, completely conterproductive to have this installed in a system instead of sudo. It will remove all sudo capability from that system, from all users. For testing purpose, this should be installed inside user's home folder, not on the system.

[PRQ#49619] Deletion Request for ceph-octopus
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 31 Mar '24

31 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ceph-octopus [2]: This legacy Ceph (v15) runtime is not needed anymore. (Latest major stable version is v18.) Also, this depends on aur/librdkafka1, which violates AUR submission guidelines by conflicting with repo's newer librdkafka. I recommend deleting this. No AUR votes or user comments, and nothing depends on it. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/ceph-octopus/

[PRQ#49617] Deletion Request for ceph-pacific
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 31 Mar '24

31 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ceph-pacific [2]: This legacy Ceph (v16) runtime is not needed anymore by any other AUR package, and it depends on aur/librdkafka1, which violates AUR submission guidelines by conflicting with repo's newer librdkafka. I recommend deleting this. No AUR votes or comments, and it was also not updated to the latest point release.

[PRQ#49560] Deletion Request for git-fc
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 31 Mar '24

31 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for git-fc [2]: Hostile, personal fork of git, which resets the versioning and is at v0.1 right now. It is also 1812 commits behind upstream git as of this day. It means this is not a feature-equivalent drop-in for repo's git package, nor for AUR/git-git. The pkgdesc is bogus ("Fork of Junio's git for users"). (Junio C Hamano is upstream Git's chief maintainer/developer since 2005. It is misleading to use his name in the pkgdesc, as this has nothing to do with him, nor with his personal GitHub fork of git, published for technical purposes, not for main development.) Purportedly, this fork only wants to add a new convenience subcommand, 'git stage'. There are upstream-friendly ways of doing that without forking. Many third-party git addons have been created that work with upstream git and expose new, custom git subcommands. There are no AUR comments and this has only 1 vote. AUR packages have to be useful to more than a few users. This particular one does not qualify. Best to delete.
