[PRQ#55073] Deletion Request for spice-xpi
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 15 Apr '24

15 Apr '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for spice-xpi [2]: Upstream is EOL since 2015. [a] Website is down (no server). [b] Package build is currently broken due to minor issue relating to git submodule handling. But it is useless to fix and keep: no working and available Firefox (-based) browsers support third party XPCOM (xulrunner) binary plugins like this one. Mozilla has dropped support for those in Firefox v57, released in 2017. [c] Installing this package has no effect whatsoever on the current Firefox.

denilsonsa [1] filed a deletion request for mon2cam-bash-git [2]: Upstream is gone. The previous maintainer has also orphaned the package. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/denilsonsa/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/mon2cam-bash-git/

[PRQ#54230] Deletion Request for python-soappy
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 15 Apr '24

15 Apr '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-soappy [2]: Unneeded dead-on-arrival EOL Python2 library from 2014. [a] Not compatible with its python2-wstools 0.4.10 dependency (released in 2020). [b] The build does not run any tests, that's why the incompatibility does not surface during package creation. Not useful to keep on AUR. [a]: https://pypi.org/project/SOAPpy [b]: https://pastebin.com/HrGPUipx [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-soappy/

[PRQ#54229] Deletion Request for python2-m2crypto
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 15 Apr '24

15 Apr '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-m2crypto [2]: Dead-on-arrival, but also unneeded legacy package. Not compatible with the current openssl API (as evidenced by running the test suite [a], which this PKGBUILD conveniently omits.) [a]: https://pastebin.com/m9msD6Wn [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python2-m2crypto/

[PRQ#54228] Deletion Request for wireless-regdb-pentest
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 15 Apr '24

15 Apr '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for wireless-regdb-pentest [2]: Broken, abandoned variant from 2020 of Arch/core/wireless-regdb. Does not seem useful to keep as is. Pentesters can modify the regulatory database without this package. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/wireless-regdb-pentest/

[PRQ#54226] Deletion Request for ly-git-openrc
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 15 Apr '24

15 Apr '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ly-git-openrc [2]: Problematic, but unneeded VCS package with wrong name, missing provides field and pkgver() function. The stable ly package is carried by extra repo, and there is a proper ly-git on AUR. This package was intended for a systemd-less Arch derivative, and is not useful on Arch Linux, due to the fact that it is virtually impossible nowadays to run Arch without systemd (hence the other distros).

[PRQ#54152] Deletion Request for hexchat-javascript-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 15 Apr '24

15 Apr '24

a821 [1] filed a deletion request for hexchat-javascript-git [2]: This package is broken due to missing dependency js185 and broken sources (deprecated git:// protocol). I notified the maintainer/developer four months ago but he disowned it with the message "Disowning this package. It requires js185 which is no longer on the AUR so this is broken." The dependency js185 was dropped from the repos somewhere in 2017 [0], meaning this has been broken for over six years. Safe to delete. [0] https://archlinux.org/todo/remove-js185-from-the-repos/ [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/a821/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/hexchat-javascript-git/

[PRQ#54094] Deletion Request for nut-multimedia-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 15 Apr '24

15 Apr '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for nut-multimedia-git [2]: There is no longer any application that would utilize this experimental media format library that is not developed for the last 4 years. It is also obsolete due to lack of real-world use. Its last AUR consumer was 'mplayer2-build-git' (PRQ#54087; EOL mplayer fork from 2013; cannot play any video now). Safe to delete this as well.
