[PRQ#54103] Deletion Request for glibc-widevine
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 14 Apr '24

14 Apr '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for glibc-widevine [2]: Unneeded, currently broken old version (v2.35) duplicate of Arch/core/glibc (v2.39); not compatible with current Arch Linux. Actually this package is a disguised ARM/Aarch64-only build, because it mirrors ArchLinuxARM.org's glibc version. Please kindly delete this. If this build worked, installing this would break Arch Linux. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/glibc-widevine/

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for linux-api-headers-git [2]: Unneeded non-VCS package. Arch core repo already carries a fixed-version build for linux-api- headers. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/linux-api-headers-git/

[PRQ#54086] Deletion Request for wxwidgets-light
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 14 Apr '24

14 Apr '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for wxwidgets-light [2]: Unmaintained since 2023-07-31, and currently several point releases older than repo's wxwidgets (3.2.2.1 vs 3.2.4). But this is also apparently unused, as no one flagged it. And it's not beneficial to keep. This package is not compatible with repo's wxwidgets-gtk3. and therefore most downstream dependent builds cannot use it, e.g. due to its divergent naming of the relevant wx- config executable. But no one complained - again, an evidence of disuse. This also cannot be coinstalled e.g. with repo's veracrypt (which I use). It also builds and puts the headless wxbase into wxwidgets-common- light - another divergence from repo's corresponding package, which does no such thing. Even if configured properly, this build would still break many reverse dependencies - those that need multimedia capabilities - as it omits gstreamer support. Therefore I don't see any benefit in keeping this. Maybe one person (submitter) would disagree, but no one else has shown any indication that they would needs this build. Enough to keep repo's wxwidgets (and AUR's wxwidgets-git). [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/wxwidgets-light/

[PRQ#54043] Deletion Request for perl-extutils-parsexs
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 14 Apr '24

14 Apr '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for perl-extutils-parsexs [2]: This pod is now hosted inside the Perl5 codebase. [a] It should not be distributed independently of Perl v5.x. Arch/core/perl has the latest version of this pod. [a]: https://github.com/Perl/perl5/tree/blead/dist/ExtUtils-ParseXS [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/perl-extutils-parsexs/

[PRQ#54018] Deletion Request for traxtor
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 14 Apr '24

14 Apr '24

gtsiam [1] filed a deletion request for traxtor [2]: I'm maintaining the tractor and carburetor packages. I originally filed PRQ#49167 to merge this into tractor before I took it over, but that got no reply. To quote the maintainer of traxtor's pinned comment: > This package is no longer available, please use tractor instead. So I think this makes it an open and shut issue (assuming anyone actually reads these requests). [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/gtsiam/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/traxtor/
