[PRQ#65398] Deletion Request for bambustudio
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 11 Nov '24

11 Nov '24

apaxis [1] filed a deletion request for bambustudio [2]: This package was orphaned because the previous maintainer couldn't figure out how to update it to a recent version. There is a working version of this software available (AUR package bambustudio-bin), it is incorrectly marked as out of date (11/5/2024). I believe it may be best to delete this package so that users are directed there instead, and perhaps I will contact the maintainer of the bambustudio-bin package to have them unmark it as out of date.

envolution [1] filed a deletion request for bambustudio [2]: The source tree compiles its own libraries, many of which are deprecated and include custom patches. I attempted to use shared libraries but discovered that the extensive custom patches and modifications made it impractical. I support apaxis' recommendation to use the appimage (bambustudio-bin). The codebase isn't suited for shared library compilation, and compiling all dependencies as the build scripts do isn't justified when the appimage is available.
