[PRQ#49417] Deletion Request for udev-notify
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 10 Mar '24

10 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for udev-notify [2]: VCS package in disguise from 2022. @FabioLolix has pointed this out last year and suggested changes to rectify it, but maintainer just ignored the feedback. Upstream not developed since 2016. [a] Safe to delete; seems no one is using this.

[PRQ#49272] Deletion Request for python-orange-canvas-core-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 10 Mar '24

10 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-orange-canvas-core- git [2]: Abandoned, broken VCS package from 2021. With a pkgver() that does not produce commit/revision specific, monotonically increasing version string, and which also can potentially use a different tag depending on user's global git config (because it just lists all cloned tags and picks the newest, but doesn't use git describe, so it might pick a tag that is only on a different branch but not on master branch). Not useful to keep. Better to delete. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-orange-canvas-core-git/

[PRQ#54058] Merge Request for custom-install-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 10 Mar '24

10 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge custom-install-git [2] into custom-install [3]: Upstream is abandoned since 2 years ago, and the '-git' package is unbuildable due to missing dependency. The stable package is only 8 commits behind the default branch, and from those, only 1 is meaningful (a minor fix, which if needed, can be added as a patch). Most importantly, AUR/custom-install can be built and run, so it's better to keep only that one.

[PRQ#54070] Merge Request for libdicomscope-jni
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 10 Mar '24

10 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge libdicomscope-jni [2] into libdicomscope-jni-bin [3]: Both are foreign binary builds. Submitter has created the libdicomscope-jni-bin to adhere to AUR submission guidelines, and informed users about this in a comment in 2022.

[PRQ#54089] Merge Request for arch-os-app
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 10 Mar '24

10 Mar '24

yochananmarqos [1] filed a request to merge arch-os-app [2] into arch- os-manager [3]: Apparently arch-os-app is now arch-os-manager, however the maintainer erroneously flagged his own package out of date rather than orphan it or submit a merge request.

[PRQ#54148] Merge Request for icecat-rpm
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 10 Mar '24

10 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge icecat-rpm [2] into icecat-bin [3]: Foreign-built binary packages for FOSS software should have the '-bin' suffix in pkgname. Also icecat-rpm is not actively maintained. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/icecat-rpm/ [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/icecat-bin/
