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

24 Mar '24

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

24 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gwaei [2]: Broken, unbuildable since at least 3 years ago due to rarian's failure. No upstream release since 2013, and their website is gone. Better to delete. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/gwaei/

[PRQ#57938] Deletion Request for ocamlnet
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 24 Mar '24

24 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ocamlnet [2]: Broken for close to 1 year due to not being compatible with repo's ocaml 5, first published in May 2023. Upstream seems to be abandoned (developer only attends to their other projects). There has been a work-in-progress, partially viable port to ocaml 5, contributed to upstream in the form of a merge request 1.5 years ago, but it has been abandoned and ignored since. [a] That unfinished patch does not make this buildable. Also, now the code does not support the current gnutls, needed for https support in this library. Downstream dependents have either moved on to other solutions, or got discontinued 3+ years ago. (All AUR reverse dependencies have been submitted for deletion.) I think it's best to delete this package. [a]: https://gitlab.com/gerdstolpmann/lib- ocamlnet3/-/merge_requests/21 [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/ocamlnet/

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

24 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for any-dl [2]: ocamlnet is not compatible with ocaml5, so this package in turn is not compatible with current Arch Linux. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/any-dl/

[PRQ#58140] Deletion Request for lib32-tclkit
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 24 Mar '24

24 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-tclkit [2]: This bundle of lib32-tk & lib32-tcl is no longer needed. And Arch multilib repo carries lib32-tcl, while the AUR has a maintained lib32-tk package. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/lib32-tclkit/

[PRQ#57425] Deletion Request for qtikz-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 24 Mar '24

24 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for qtikz-git [2]: Broken. Abandoned since 2020. Last comment is from 2018. I recommend deletion; not useful to keep as is. Arch/extra repo carries the stable build. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/qtikz-git/

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

24 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mingw-w64-kinit [2]: Abandoned since 2020, and now KDE Plasma 6 dropped this entirely. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/mingw-w64-kinit/

[PRQ#57184] Deletion Request for libkipi
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 24 Mar '24

24 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for libkipi [2]: Dead, broken KDE5 package. All KDE Gear applications have discontinued the usage of the kipi library and its 'share to {target}' plugins since 2022-04 due to obsolescence. (No maintenance took place for 5+ years, so those have become functionally broken. Also kipi got superseded by KDE's purpose library). It's misleading that the automated KDE CI systems continue to create quarterly release tags. But no KDE application supports this lib anymore.
