by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Dec '24

02 Dec '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for power-profiles-daemon- patched-amd-git [2]: Obsolete, outdated non-VCS package (v0.21). The applied amd-pstate patches have been merged into the main branch 3 months ago [a], and been shipped with the v0.22 stable release. [b] (The latest version is 0.23, available in Arch extra repo [c]).

[PRQ#65768] Deletion Request for telive
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Dec '24

02 Dec '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for telive [2]: Abandoned VCS package in disguise from 2017, and it compromises system security: - installs a directory under root ("/tetra"), - copies executables inside /tetra, - runs chown -R :wheel on the whole tree of /tetra, with the aim of making it all writeable by the users of the group 'wheel', - if /tetra/bin/tetrad is executed, it creates and deletes directories and files, - if /tetra/scripts/install_telive.sh is executed, it uses sudo, downloads many git repos, compiles code from them, and installs files on its own. The first three problems have been pointed out by @Foxboron in AUR comment on 2017-11-30 but they are yet to be addressed.

[PRQ#65767] Deletion Request for python2-bs4
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Dec '24

02 Dec '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-bs4 [2]: Unused empty metapackage. Also was never functional, because this distribution is meant to be an alias for the Python module 'beautifulsoup4' [a], but the PKGBUILD does not define depends=python2-beautifulsoup4. [a]: https://pypi.org/project/bs4 [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python2-bs4/

[PRQ#65764] Deletion Request for pyocd-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Dec '24

02 Dec '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for pyocd-git [2]: Long dead package from 2021, missing a dependency. Also likely never worked, because it defines depends=python- naturalsort but actually would require python-natsort, which is a different library. AUR/python-pyocd is up-to-date as of now, provides 'pyocd', and seems to be in much better shape. [a] Votes: 0 Popularity: 0.000000 [a]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-pyocd [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/pyocd-git/

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Dec '24

02 Dec '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge python-sphinxcontrib-needs [2] into python-sphinx-needs [3]: The former package got discontinued under that name in 2022.
