by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 07 Dec '24

07 Dec '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-qtermwidget-git [2]: Unused package from 2017, based on a discontinued fork from same year.

[PRQ#67157] Deletion Request for lib32-chromaprint
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 07 Dec '24

07 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.

[PRQ#67156] Deletion Request for chromaprint-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 07 Dec '24

07 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.

[PRQ#67154] Deletion Request for curl-quiche-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 07 Dec '24

07 Dec '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for curl-quiche-git [2]: Unused, badly packaged, unneeded. Executes git clone in prepare(), to fetch CloudFlare's quiche library, recursively, with its boringssl git submodule repo (the latter is Google's somewhat experimental fork of openssl.) BoringSSL's statically built libcrypto.a and libssl.so are used in this curl build, but still the PKGBUILD erroneously lists 'openssl' in depends. Also the pkgname is not good enough: it should reference 'boringssl' too, not just 'quiche', to differentiate from default Arch curl and AUR/curl-git build. Now upsteam openssl supports the QUIC protocol natively, and so does the stable curl release in repo - doesn't need BoringSSL and the quiche library for it. As for AUR usage, or the lack thereof: Votes: 0 Popularity: 0.000000 First Submitted: 2023-04-05 Last Updated: 2023-04-05 Comments: 0 Specific reverse dependencies: 0 [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/curl-quiche-git/
