by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Mar '24

26 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for linux-zen-515lts [2]: Cleanup of unmaintained, broken Linux kernel package from 2022-10-15. Also this is a disguised VCS build. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/linux-zen-515lts/

[PRQ#53719] Deletion Request for fonts-meta-extended-lt
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Mar '24

26 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for fonts-meta-extended-lt [2]: This 'kind-of' metapackage with Infinality related additional alias configs is no longer useful. Because Infinality rendering modes are no longer supported by current version of freetype2. (Upstream removed this capability after 10 years of no development and due to being buggy.)

[PRQ#51873] Deletion Request for libsynaptics
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Mar '24

26 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for libsynaptics [2]: Broken, discontinued, unused legacy Synaptics driver from 2007. Cannot be built due to missing dependency. Safe to delete: nothing depends on it. Nowadays, libinput handles even Synaptics touchpads well, but extra repo also carries the xf86-input-synaptics driver for legacy devices.

[PRQ#50481] Deletion Request for telepathy-morse-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Mar '24

26 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for telepathy-morse-git [2]: All telepathy-kde* packages have been dropped from Arch repos and also from AUR, because they have been discontinued by upstream since April 2023 and most of the connection modules were already defunct anyway. This package no longer has any existing and working telepathy-qt5 based IM applications to be used with. Also its upstream is abandoned since 2020.

[PRQ#50352] Deletion Request for nerolinux3
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Mar '24

26 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for nerolinux3 [2]: Defunct proprietary optical media burning software last released in 2009, needing a registration key to work. 32-bit software, so pkgname should have had the 'bin32-' prefix. Release archives are no longer offered by upstream, and the currently declared source array pointing to a file hosted by getsoft.sibnet.ru leads to a 404 not found error. I propose deletion: not useful to keep. Nowadays there are many good, free open-source alternatives for this use case.

[PRQ#50312] Deletion Request for lxd516
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Mar '24

26 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lxd516 [2]: Unneeded older version of extra/lxd. Conflicts with the repo package, so it does not conform to AUR submission guidelines that rules against duplicating repo packages, even if different versions. If there is a compatibility issue or defect in repo's lxd package, file a bug report. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/lxd516/
