[PRQ#50625] Deletion Request for thorium-bin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 17 Apr '24

17 Apr '24

xiota [1] filed a deletion request for thorium-bin [2]: Duplicate of thorium-reader-bin. Upstream project name is "thorium- reader", so the package with mismatched name should be deleted. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/xiota/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/thorium-bin/

[PRQ#54087] Deletion Request for mplayer2-build-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 16 Apr '24

16 Apr '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mplayer2-build-git [2]: Not useful to keep this dead mplayer fork that has been discontinued since 2013. There is no indication that anyone would want to use it. If there were, we would see complaints: it cannot be executed on most Arch Linux systems due to building against a source-included header for which the corresponding library is not declared in depends array. Even if said missing dependency is satisfied, this mplayer variant fails to play any video with any choosable output sink - at least when one uses ether an NVIDIA GPU or an Intel iGPU. (Haven't tested this with AMD hw/driver.) [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/mplayer2-build-git/

[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. [a]: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/spice/spice-xpi [b]: https://spice-space.com/ [c]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en- US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox/Releases/57#changes_for_add- on_and_mozilla_developers [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/spice-xpi/

15 Apr '24

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). [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/ly-git-openrc/
