[PRQ#65829] Deletion Request for kh-webstore
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Dec '24

02 Dec '24

a821 [1] filed a deletion request for kh-webstore [2]: Bad PKGBUILD. Maintainer/Developer was asked to fix it in the comments but he never reacted. The sources are just a bunch of short scripts. No idea what they do because there's no documentation. The commits messages of the AUR repo are nonsensical. The Github repo has just one commit (just the license). It looks to me like a personal project. Safe to delete. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/a821/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/kh-webstore/

[PRQ#65824] Deletion Request for qtraw-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Dec '24

02 Dec '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for qtraw-git [2]: Discontinued; last released version is from 2015. [a] Repo got migrated to Gitlab, but it is abandoned since 2020. [b] Broken: seems not compatible with Qt 5.15. From the latter source, if I execute tests on master branch code, they pass RAW image file read test cases with the legacy libraw 0.19.3 and current 0.21.x, but do not not pass a test for qt5-base 5.15.x QImageReader error handling API. [a]: https://github.com/mardy/qtraw/releases/tag/VERSION_1.1 [b]: https://gitlab.com/mardy/qtraw/-/commits/master [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/qtraw-git/

[PRQ#65819] Deletion Request for iftop-devel
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Dec '24

02 Dec '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for iftop-devel [2]: Same version (iftop 1.0pre4) is available in Arch/extra repo. [a] And upstream is not actively maintained since 2018 (there was one whitespace-only commit in 2020). [b] [a]: https://archlinux.org/packages/?q=iftop [b]: https://code.blinkace.com/pdw/iftop/-/commits/master [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/iftop-devel/

[PRQ#65818] Deletion Request for focus-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Dec '24

02 Dec '24

a821 [1] filed a deletion request for focus-git [2]: Abandoned software by developer/submitter. Last commit was 6 years ago. No packages depend on it. It uses sudo in `package()` (pointed out two years ago in the comments), but if you remove that line, it fails to build anyway (you get and incompatible pointer erros, plus other invalid references)... it doesn't look worth fixing it. Safe to delete. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/a821/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/focus-git/

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

02 Dec '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gnome-shell-extension- xrdesktop-git [2]: Upstream is unmaintained abandonware (no commits for 18+ months). [a] This package is not compatible with Gnome Shell 45 and newer. [a]: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xrdesktop/gnome-shell-extension- xrdesktop [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/gnome-shell-extension-xrdesktop-git/

[PRQ#65787] Deletion Request for power-profiles-daemon-patched-amd-git
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]). [a]: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/upower/power-profiles- daemon/-/merge_requests/198 [b]: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/upower/power-profiles- daemon/-/commit/5eb12489 [c]: https://archlinux.org/packages/?q=power-profiles-daemon [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/power-profiles-daemon-patched-amd-git/

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

[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/
