MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gtk-sharp-2-git [2]: Upstream maintenance ceased since March 2021. [a] No need to keep this VCS package. Repo carries the last stable gtk-sharp-2 release.

[PRQ#50763] Deletion Request for mingw-w64-qgis
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Mar '24

21 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mingw-w64-qgis [2]: Unmaintained since 2022-06-12, outdated since 1+ year. I don't think it's useful to keep this on AUR as is. Also there's no visible interest in this package: 0 votes/comments. Many of its dependencies are also similarly abandoned and outdated. Windows users are best served by installing upstream's builds. It is a GPL licensed FOSS application, and the project is maintained by a volunteer community. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/mingw-w64-qgis/

[PRQ#51462] Deletion Request for python-thrift-sasl
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Mar '24

21 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-thrift-sasl [2]: I've considered helping out with this Python library package here, but realized it isn't worth it. It has been abandoned since 2021 not just on AUR but also by upstream. [a] It is practically broken for real-world use cases, see issue #28. [b] Upstream is not a garage project or a lone individual, but billion dollar revenue commercial company Cloudera, with a strong presence and participation in open-source technologies. Which means that if they did see a practical use case for themselves and/or any of their clients, who do use a wide variety of cloud stack elements, then they wouldn't have left this to become obsolete and burdened with use-case breaking bugs. Also there are just a few comments on the few issues in their GitHub, which is also an indication that this is not in need by people and projects. Also nothing depends on it. Safe to delete.

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

21 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gnash-git [2]: This should now be deleted. Broken since years. Also upstream maintenance stopped since 2017. [a] In 2019, developer clarified the halting of the project (see second paragraph of README [b]). [a]: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnash.git/log/ [b]: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnash.git/tree/README [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/gnash-git/

[PRQ#49485] Deletion Request for adapta-gtk-theme-wal
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Mar '24

21 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for adapta-gtk-theme-wal [2]: Unused, abandoned package from 2018; minimally modded variant of repo's adapta-gtk-theme. (pkgdesc is a copy of that of repo package, so it doesn't clarify the purpose of this pkg. Inside the build function, it just hard-codes some colors). Maintainer unresponsive - there was one user comment, posing a question, in 2020. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/adapta-gtk-theme-wal/
