by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Feb '24

05 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-cocoapi-git [2]: Broken Python2/Python3 package. Upstream is dead abandonware; all maintenance stopped 4 years ago.

[b] There is another fork that offers a superset of the original capabilities of COCO API: python-xcocotools, which also exists on AUR. [c] [a]: https://github.com/cocodataset/cocoapi/commits/master [b]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-pycocotools [c]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-xcocotools [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-cocoapi-git/

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Feb '24

05 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge salawat [2] into salawat-bin [3]: Both are binary packages. I have asked the submitter of salawat to reupload it with a proper '-bin' suffix, and they were kind enough to do so.

[PRQ#47892] Deletion Request for pigz-gzip-symlink
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Feb '24

05 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for pigz-gzip-symlink [2]: This is a problematic package. Replaces gzip, which is part of Arch base, meaning that the latter *should* be a part of every Arch install. Uses mkdir inside package() instead of install. Uses an embedded $(which pigz) and $(which unpigz) when creating symlinks, to find the defined pigz executable in the runtime environment, which means it will potentially create and install a symlink in /usr/bin that points to an arbitrary location, and also can lead to a different result in a clean chroot environment, a custom chroot environment, and user's own runtime environment when built with makepkg.

[PRQ#47891] Deletion Request for gzip-with-pigz-symlinks
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Feb '24

05 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gzip-with-pigz-symlinks [2]: Abandoned, outdated package from 2020. Unnecessarily builds and installs gzip, but then deletes the gzip executable and replaces it with a symlink to pigz, referring to the latter without path. gzip is part of Arch base and base-devel, so it should not be replaced with something else.
