[PRQ#50559] Deletion Request for qtraw-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for qtraw-git [2]: Discontinued; last released version is from 2015. [a] Repo got migrated to Gitlab and abandoned since 2020. [b] Broken: seems not compatible with Qt 5.15. From the latter source, master branch code passes RAW image file read tests with libraw 0.19.3 and 0.21.1, but does not pass a test for qt5-base 5.15.11's QImageReader error handling API. [a]: https://github.com/mardy/qtraw/releases/tag/VERSION_1.1 [b]: https://gitlab.com/mardy/qtraw/-/commits/master [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/qtraw-git/

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for qtraw [2]: Discontinued; this last released version is from 2015. [a] Not compatible with Qt 5.15 and likely libraw 0.19+ (2019). (I tested this locally with Qt 5.15.11 and libraw 0.19 and current 0.21.1 from repo: fails RAW image read test.) Repo got migrated to Gitlab and abandoned since 2020. [b] From the latter source, master branch code passes file read tests with libraw 0.19.3 and 0.21.1, but does not pass a test for qt5-base 5.15.11's QImageReader error handling API.

[PRQ#50307] Deletion Request for python-gto
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-gto [2]: This new package is a CLI application; should be named 'gto' @naetherm, thank you for sharing your PKGBUILD. Please kindly change the pkgname to 'gto' and resubmit as AUR/gto, to align with Arch Python package guidelines.

[PRQ#49043] Deletion Request for ffmpeg-nonvidia
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ffmpeg-nonvidia [2]: By the name of this package, it is essentially a duplicate of extra/ffmpeg: 'nvidia-utils' is only an optional dependency of the latter, so it provides the same functionality if nvidia-utils is not installed. Any other minor discrepancies just mean that this package is named wrongly for how it is different from repo's ffmpeg. There's already an AUR/ffmpeg-amd-full; this package is actually minimally different from that. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/ffmpeg-nonvidia/

[PRQ#52830] Deletion Request for gtk2-youtube-viewer
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gtk2-youtube-viewer [2]: Does not work - cannot be built. And has a wrong name. This is not a variant of gtk2, nor it is a plugin to gtk2. It was meant to be a 'youtube-viewer' package built with Gtk2 GUI. 0 votes/comments. Seems no one is using this. There are other packages on AUR for youtube-viewer.

[PRQ#52863] Deletion Request for obs-studio-tytan652
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for obs-studio-tytan652 [2]: Badly packaged personal build, missing runtime depends. Essentially a duplicate of extra repo's obs-studio. So it is not useful or needed to keep. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/obs-studio-tytan652/

[PRQ#50197] Deletion Request for apache-ant-cpptasks
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for apache-ant-cpptasks [2]: This legacy, beta version ant build addon from 2008 is not used by any other PKGBUILDs on AUR. Therefore I recommend deletion. Upstream project discontinued since 2008, without ever having produced a stable release. Even Apache Ant itself is considered a legacy build tool, not used in new projects, only in old ones that still rely on it. So there's no chance that this niche experimental cpp build addon is widely needed. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/apache-ant-cpptasks/

[PRQ#49125] Deletion Request for i2p-controller
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for i2p-controller [2]: Unused PyQt4 application from 2013. I recommend deletion. Also it doesn't seem useful to keep, as PyQt4 itself is broken on Python 3.12, therefore this is defunct on it as well.

[PRQ#50823] Merge Request for ibus-table-mongol-bichig-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge ibus-table-mongol-bichig-git [2] into ibus-table-others [3]: 'ibus-table-mongol-bichig' is no longer maintained by its upstream, and its contents are now part of 'ibus-table-others'. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/ibus-table-mongol-bichig-git/ [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/ibus-table-others/

[PRQ#49529] Deletion Request for amarok-scripting
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for amarok-scripting [2]: Broken, unused legacy version of an EOL application. It's unlikely to be in use now. There's still amarok and amarok-git on AUR. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/amarok-scripting/
