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.

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.

[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] [a]: https://github.com/tadzik/panda [b]: https://lists.archlinux.org/archives/list/aur- requests(a)lists.archlinux.org/thread/YW7LFFWU7GNNM77OF6ZZNQ4QJJWLEYZN [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/perl6-panda/

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.

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

24 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ts-kbd [2]: Unused touchscreen keyboard addon pkg from 2018 for AUR/theshell, which is broken and discontinued, and its repo is archived.
