[PRQ#57565] Deletion Request for kaku-bin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 24 Mar '24

24 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for kaku-bin [2]: EOL since 4 years ago; shows error messages after fresh start, and is no longer able to play the online content that its home screen offers (with thumbnails). Packaging also violates Arch etiquette: it makes its own system- installed binary writable by the application itself, "to allow self- updating".

[PRQ#57672] Deletion Request for lib32-libcapi
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 24 Mar '24

24 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-libcapi [2]: No longer needed by any package on AUR. Upstream EOL for close to 3 years. [a] Public subscription offerings to ISDN telecom services (early 1990's limited market uptake transitional technology to ADSL) have been discontinued all around the world, and operational access will be shut down completely until 2025 everywhere for integrated, embedded legacy call center hardware from 20+ years ago as well (which are equipment that do not support x86 code, or likely not even programmable at all).

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

24 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for librm-git [2]: Build is broken on current Arch Linux (incompatible with current gupnp).

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

24 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for hunspell-ru-aot-ieyo [2]: Unneeded old Russian hunspell dictionary from 2015; repo carries the latest version of hunspell-ru (last updated by upstream in 2021). The repo version also works across many applications like LibreOffice, Apache OpenOffice, and anything else that supports the hunspell library.

[PRQ#54254] Deletion Request for linux-hammerhead-api-headers
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 24 Mar '24

24 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for linux-hammerhead-api-headers [2]: Very old API headers, not compatible with current Arch Linux. Has already been deleted on Feb 5, 2024, in response to PRQ#53367. [a] Submitter defiantly recreated this package which is useless on the Arch User Repository.

[PRQ#54235] Deletion Request for lib32-libdbusmenu-qt
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 24 Mar '24

24 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-libdbusmenu-qt [2]: No longer needed by anything, and lib32-qt4 has been failing to build for the last 9 months. Anyway this was just an optional addon, to allow exporting a Qt4 application's menu item list to the desktop environment, letting it place the menu bar into a global top bar instead of mandatorily inside the main application window. There is no loss of functionality to any legacy Qt4 application at all with the removal of this package.

24 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for sdlmame-0137 [2]: Obsolete old version from 2010 of repo's much newer mame. Reported unbuildable since 2021. Not useful to keep. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/sdlmame-0137/

[PRQ#57063] Deletion Request for vkcube-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 24 Mar '24

24 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for vkcube-git [2]: Broken Vulkan 3D demo app (spinning cube); upstream abandoned since 2 years ago. Also not needed: repo's vulkan-tools already includes the working vkcube demo, which is also being actively maintained by upstream (Khronos Group).
