[PRQ#57035] Deletion Request for perl6-panda
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 24 Mar '24

24 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for perl6-panda [2]: Resubmitting my deferred deletion request, PRQ#46363 (2023-08-16). Deprecated, broken, unmaintained Perl6 module installer from 2016; no longer recommended for use. [a] Nothing depends specifically on this. Also Perl6 is now Raku, so package name prefix should follow that. Maintainer has already agreed to my earlier deletion request.

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

24 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for tlp-pmu [2]: Abandoned, deprecated old variant (2018 release) of tlp, available in Arch repo. Upstream stopped supporting pm-utils after that year.

[PRQ#51724] Deletion Request for gadmin-rsync
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 24 Mar '24

24 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gadmin-rsync [2]: Broken third-party GNOME2 GUI based backup client frontend to rsync. All maintenance stopped in 2016. Upstream website gone (address not found). This also does not support current desktop security best practices of running only non-root GUI apps that can invoke elevated privileges as needed, e.g. via PolKit. Rather, this one would need the deprecated gksu (discontinued since 2018) to run its full GUI app with superuser credentials. Not useful to keep and try to fix, as there are much better and currently maintained alternatives, in Arch repo as well as on AUR.
