[PRQ#67157] Deletion Request for lib32-chromaprint
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Dec '24

26 Dec '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-chromaprint [2]: Upstream is abandonware, no release in 3 years, no Git master update for 2 years. [a] Was developed only to be compatible with ffmpeg 5, and now it fails testing with lib32-ffmpeg 7 (in AUR since 2024-05-25). No one complained, and no other AUR builds depend on this. Votes: 7 Popularity: 0.000000 Last Updated: 2023-03-22 Last comment apart from mine is from 2023-02-18. Btw, a crude patch is available from Debian, Arch/extra/chromaprint applies it, but even that does not solve downstream issues.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Dec '24

26 Dec '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for chromaprint-git [2]: Upstream is abandonware, no Git master update for 2 years. [a] Was developed only to be compatible with ffmpeg 5, and now it fails with ffmpeg 7 due to API incompatibility if testing is run (though this PKGBULD does not have a check function). Arch/extra/chromapint applies Debian's patch, but even that patch does not solve some runtime issues with downstream consumers. [b] Seems this git package is not used by anyone anymore.
