by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 09 Mar '24

09 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for dbus-xdg [2]: Duplicate of: https://packages.artixlinux.org/details/dbus With wrong provides (e.g. subpackage dbus-xdg-docs declares it provides and conflicts with 'dbus'). Please delete this package. Users should use dbus from their own distro's repo. @noahvogt, please don't submit duplicates or minimal mods of packages that already exist in either Arch Linux repos or derivative distributions' repos. Instead, please submit patches and/or issue tickets to your distro's bug tracking system and/or Git repo.

[PRQ#54145] Deletion Request for archipelago-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 09 Mar '24

09 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for archipelago-git [2]: Broken, and no longer viable to keep. Upstream has been rewritten from scratch. It isn't a cross-platform Node.js app anymore, but a MacOS-only terminal emulator, written in Swift, needing compilation to machine code, with MacOS-specific libraries / API's.

[PRQ#52536] Deletion Request for mingw-w64-lilv
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 09 Mar '24

09 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mingw-w64-lilv [2]: No longer needed by mingw-w64-gstreamer et al. Not useful to keep anymore; safe to delete. (Its dependency chain has also been unmaintained for years - mingw-w64-sratom, mingw-w64-serd, mingw-w64-sord, and even mingw-w64-python).

[PRQ#49681] Deletion Request for kf5-kio-ftps
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 09 Mar '24

09 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for kf5-kio-ftps [2]: Defunct KDE4 KIO Slave addon from 2008, barely ported in 2015 to KDE5, with KdeLibs4Support still needed. And it already doesn't work. When trying to access an FTPS server dir, it quits, and says: "TLS Negotiation failed on the data channel." It is supposed to work in PASV mode, but it seems not to be the case. Even KIO5 itself complains that this module is broken, see log output: "kf.kio.core: error() called twice! Please fix the kio_ftps KIO worker." Also, even if it worked, it would be insecure. It doesn't support TLS certificate validation, it just blindly accepts the TLS connection without bothering with certificates, even if the server presents an unknown, untrusted certificate. And also as it depends on kdelibs4support, which is EOL and likely won't work on KDE Plasma 6, this won't even be able to run in a few months. I don't think it's useful to keep this any longer. People who need proper FTPS (FTP with TLS) support should use a reliable, working application offering this functionality.

[PRQ#48783] Deletion Request for openssh-dotconfig-bin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 09 Mar '24

09 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for openssh-dotconfig-bin [2]: Duplicate of core/openssh, with minimal modification. XDG Base Directory specification support is a fundamental goal of Arch Linux. This modification makes the package adhere less to that, because it hardcodes $HOME/.config as the basedir of .ssh configuration dir, but this does not respect XDG_CONFIG_HOME. If a repo package could be enhanced with better customizability and/or stronger adherence to XDG specifications, one should file an upstream issue and/or an Arch Linux bug with a suggested patch, instead of recreating Arch repo builds on AUR.
