[PRQ#51604] Merge Request for tetherback
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Mar '24

21 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge tetherback [2] into tetherback- git [3]: As upstream has not released any new versions since 2016 [a], I propose this package merge. Master branch continually receives maintenance fixes as necessary. [b] [a]: https://github.com/dlenski/tetherback/releases [b]: https://github.com/dlenski/tetherback/compare/v0.9.1...master [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/tetherback/ [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/tetherback-git/

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Mar '24

21 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-py010parser [2]: Proposal to delete this unused Python2 library pkg. Only AUR/python-py010parser has a consumer, but not this. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python2-py010parser/

21 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for makemeasandwich-nosudo-git [2]: Broken, unused VCS package from 2015, for a simple tech demonstration based on jQuery, Node.js, and the long obsolete Phantom.js. 1 vote, 0 comments. Seems no one needs this on AUR anymore. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/makemeasandwich-nosudo-git/

[PRQ#49770] Merge Request for msquic-release-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Mar '24

21 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge msquic-release-git [2] into msquic-git [3]: I think it's not really useful to keep a "release" branch VCS package, since almost all of the time, its source is the same as the last release tag. Upstream seems to be very quick in releasing important patches for their stable line, in the form of minor point version bumps.

[PRQ#49769] Merge Request for msquic-prerelease
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Mar '24

21 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge msquic-prerelease [2] into msquic-git [3]: It's pointless to keep a prerelease package, since this is for v1.9.0 from October 2022. The last stable release, v2.2.4 is from October 2023, and is therefore 1 year newer than the last prerelease commit. Upstream seems to no longer create prerelease tags. People who wish to test-drive the latest development code should install msquic-git.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Mar '24

21 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge msquic-prerelease-git [2] into msquic-git [3]: It's pointless to keep a "prerelease" branch package, since the newest of them is for v1.9 and is discontinued since May 2022. The last stable release, v2.2.4 is from October 2023, and is therefore 1.5 years newer than the last prerelease commit.

[PRQ#51013] Deletion Request for clearlooks-colors-gtk-theme
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Mar '24

21 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for clearlooks-colors-gtk-theme [2]: Discontinued Gtk2 desktop theme from 2008. Source unavailable (server unreachable). But if fixed, it wouldn't be useful to keep, as there is no longer any Gtk2 based desktop environment available in Arch/AUR repos.

[PRQ#51015] Deletion Request for gnome-colors-icon-theme
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Mar '24

21 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gnome-colors-icon-theme [2]: Not useful to keep this VCS package in disguise without a pkgver() function: this GNOME2 icon theme has been discontinued since 2009. [a] Also, there is no longer any Gtk2 based desktop environment available in Arch/AUR repos. [a]: https://github.com/gnome-colors/gnome-colors/commits/master [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/gnome-colors-icon-theme/

[PRQ#50921] Deletion Request for mari0-ae
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Mar '24

21 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mari0-ae [2]: This modded variant of repo's mari0 is a VCS package in disguise, but maintainer just ignored my request to use a fixed commit or rename and resubmit this with a -git suffix. The package has 0 votes, and only I commented. Seems better to delete at this point. Users can still use repo's mari0.
