[PRQ#49720] Deletion Request for alsa-lib-x205ta
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 17 Mar '24

17 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for alsa-lib-x205ta [2]: Unused, not much maintained duplicate of repo's alsa-lib, typically lagging behind upstream's and repo's latest release by 6-12+ months. Targeted for an 11" Asus netbook with 1.33GHz CPU and 2GB of RAM, released to market in 2014. The difference between this and repo's package is only the inclusion of configuration files here, easy to add beside the regular alsa-lib package as well. Therefore I don't think it's useful to keep on AUR, and also there's no evidence anyone is using it beside maintainer (if he does at all).

[PRQ#52945] Deletion Request for matita
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 17 Mar '24

17 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for matita [2]: Long broken and abandoned. Submitted in 2019 and never changed. 0 votes/comments. Uses upstream's last tagged release, 0.99.3, from 8 years ago (2016). [a] Not compatible with current OCAML 5 & its modules that are offered by Arch Linux repo. Also its lablgtk2 dependency no longer exists. Same is true for upstream's legacy 'ld-0.99.3' maintenance branch, discontinued since 2019. [b] Only '-git' package would be viable. The master branch is actively developed against mainline OCAML 5 modules, and uses lablgtk3 which is available in Arch repo. Deleting this would allow dropping other defunct EOL packages from AUR down the line.

[PRQ#49343] Deletion Request for qt5-xmlpatterns-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 17 Mar '24

17 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for qt5-xmlpatterns-git [2]: Not useful to keep this package. Qt5 is EOL since May 2023. The extra/qt5* packages use newer sources than Qt Group's Qt5 branch, and get frequently updated, akin to a git VCS package.

[PRQ#49342] Deletion Request for qt5-x11extras-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 17 Mar '24

17 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for qt5-x11extras-git [2]: Not useful to keep this package. Qt5 is EOL since May 2023. This PKGBUILD currently builds from upstream's dev branch for Qt6, and has a pkgver() that does not properly guarantee monotonic increase. But it's better to drop it, since extra/qt5* packages use newer sources than Qt Group's Qt5 branch, and get frequently updated, akin to a git VCS package.
