[PRQ#49093] Deletion Request for lib32-freetype2-v35
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 25 Mar '24

25 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-freetype2-v35 [2]: Unneeded, outdated (v2.13.0 from 2023-03) variant of multilib repo's lib32-freetype2 (v2.13.2 from 2023-09). The repo package also supports the legacy v35 font subpixel hinting. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/lib32-freetype2-v35/

[PRQ#49888] Deletion Request for dh-strip-nondeterminism
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 25 Mar '24

25 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for dh-strip-nondeterminism [2]: Unnecessary, unmaintained, currently broken duplicate of extra/strip- nondeterminism. The purpose of this was to include the 'dh-strip-nondeterminism' Perl script from upstream, which the Arch package omits, because it is strongly coupled to Debian's debhelper build system, not carried or supported by Arch. But this AUR package is also defunct for its purpose: it does not declare it depends on debhelper. If really needed, an addon package could be created on AUR to be a companion to repo's strip-nondeterminism, carrying only the debhelper specific script. Such a package would best be named strip-nondeterminism-dh or strip- nondeterminism-debhelper, to indicate that it is an addon pkg to strip-nondeterminism.

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

24 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for automake-1.15 [2]: Unneeded old automake version from 7 years ago (2017). No AUR package requires it, not even via version constraint. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/automake-1.15/

[PRQ#54254] Deletion Request for linux-hammerhead-api-headers
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 24 Mar '24

24 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for linux-hammerhead-api-headers [2]: Very old API headers, not compatible with current Arch Linux. Has already been deleted on Feb 5, 2024, in response to PRQ#53367. [a] Submitter defiantly recreated this package which is useless on the Arch User Repository.

[PRQ#54235] Deletion Request for lib32-libdbusmenu-qt
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 24 Mar '24

24 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-libdbusmenu-qt [2]: No longer needed by anything, and lib32-qt4 has been failing to build for the last 9 months. Anyway this was just an optional addon, to allow exporting a Qt4 application's menu item list to the desktop environment, letting it place the menu bar into a global top bar instead of mandatorily inside the main application window. There is no loss of functionality to any legacy Qt4 application at all with the removal of this package.

[PRQ#57063] Deletion Request for vkcube-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 24 Mar '24

24 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for vkcube-git [2]: Broken Vulkan 3D demo app (spinning cube); upstream abandoned since 2 years ago. Also not needed: repo's vulkan-tools already includes the working vkcube demo, which is also being actively maintained by upstream (Khronos Group).

[PRQ#57035] Deletion Request for perl6-panda
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 24 Mar '24

24 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for perl6-panda [2]: Resubmitting my deferred deletion request, PRQ#46363 (2023-08-16). Deprecated, broken, unmaintained Perl6 module installer from 2016; no longer recommended for use. [a] Nothing depends specifically on this. Also Perl6 is now Raku, so package name prefix should follow that. Maintainer has already agreed to my earlier deletion request.

[b] Discontinued as a separate dist since 2012. [c] [a]: https://metacpan.org/pod/Test::use::ok [b]: See 'perl-test-simple' in perl's provides list: https://archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/perl/ [c]: https://metacpan.org/release/AUDREYT/Test-use-ok-0.11 [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/perl-test-use-ok/

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

24 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for tlp-pmu [2]: Abandoned, deprecated old variant (2018 release) of tlp, available in Arch repo. Upstream stopped supporting pm-utils after that year. Users are advised to choose either tlp OR pm-utils, as there is overlap in functionality between the two.
