[PRQ#52508] Deletion Request for mate-polkit-gtk2
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 29 Mar '24

29 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mate-polkit-gtk2 [2]: Unneeded legacy lib from 2017. MATE is based on Gtk3 since 2017. The only possible consumer of this package, mate-session-manager-gtk2 (also from 2017) fails to build from source, and is submitted for deletion (PRQ#52452).

29 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for libmatekbd-gtk2 [2]: Fails to build on current Arch Linux, just like the majority of MATE- Gtk2 components from 2017 on AUR. Not useful to keep. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/libmatekbd-gtk2/

[PRQ#51404] Deletion Request for perl-pdf-labels
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 28 Mar '24

28 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for perl-pdf-labels [2]: After dropping the defunct AUR/qle from 2017 with missing sources, this should be deleted as well. Last stable release is from 2001, and it has been reported failing compilation 3.5+ years ago. (Bug ID 132159: Linker fails [a]) The problem still persists as of this day. There is no upstream source repository / project / external website linked from the CPAN page. It is abandonware and cannot be used anymore, so there's no point in keeping it on AUR.

28 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for icewm-utils [2]: Discontinued, unused Qt3 based configuration addons from 2004 to IceWM. Not compatible with the current IceWM in repo. Safe to delete. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/icewm-utils/

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 28 Mar '24

28 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for perl-tk-splash [2]: Safe to delete this broken Perl module (last release from 2014), after dropping its only consumer, the broken qle with missing sources (PRQ#51402).

[PRQ#52375] Deletion Request for armory
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 28 Mar '24

28 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for armory [2]: This dead Python2 based, discontinued application, last released in 2018 [a] should be deleted *again*, because it is no less broken than when it was dropped on Nov 14, 2023 for PRQ#48074 [b]. Since that time, there are even more breakages in its legacy dependency chain, so it is unbuildable. @LaughingMan, please don't reupload dead, broken, unneeded packages that maybe only you yourself want to use. The previous comment history shows that the last user comment was made in 2017, and previous maintainer commented twice in 2019. [c] No one had sent any feedback on this package for years despite likely being broken already in 2019 [d], but definitely unbuildable on Arch Linux since Nov 2021, when most Python2 packages have been dropped from repo, after which date at no point in time were all of this package's dependencies were in a working condition.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Mar '24

27 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for tensorflow-amd-git [2]: Duplicte non-VCS package of AUR/tensorflow-rocm. The latter also conforms better to upstream fork's name. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/tensorflow-amd-git/

[PRQ#51995] Deletion Request for netctl-eduroam
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Mar '24

27 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for netctl-eduroam [2]: Unused, old dummy/example VLAN / WiFi-roaming configuration from 2017. Every institution has their own config and setup guide. So it's absolutely pointless to install a generic config system-wide. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/netctl-eduroam/
