[PRQ#52060] Merge Request for appleseed
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 09 Mar '24

09 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge appleseed [2] into appleseed-git [3]: AUR/appleseed has been broken as far back as September 2020, when its transitive dependency, python2-pyqt5 (through direct dependency seexpr-qt5) got dropped from extra repo. [a] This stable version package was set to build upstream's last release tag, a beta actually, from 2019. [b] As of now, the master branch is 284 commits ahead [c], and the last one is from July 2023. [d] It seems to make sense to keep only the '-git' VCS package, which looks to be in better shape and more possible to maintain. [a]: https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/commit/f9e729f [b]: https://github.com/appleseedhq/appleseed/tags [c]: https://github.com/appleseedhq/appleseed/compare/2.1.0-beta...master [d]: https://github.com/appleseedhq/appleseed/commits/master [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/appleseed/ [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/appleseed-git/

[PRQ#52290] Deletion Request for postgresql-12
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 09 Mar '24

09 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for postgresql-12 [2]: This legacy PostgreSQL v12 (first released in 2019) fails to build on current Arch Linux. It is also not a drop-in replacement for [extra] repo's postgresql 16. I don't think this is useful to keep. Users should upgrade their databases for a newer PostgreSQL major version.
