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/

[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 Also kipi got superseded by KDE's purpose library).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.

[PRQ#55067] Deletion Request for nginx-mainline-boringssl
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 24 Mar '24

24 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for nginx-mainline-boringssl [2]: Abandoned package from 2.5 years ago, not useful to keep as is. BoringSSL is Google's fork of OpenSSL. Repo's maintained nginx-mainline uses OpenSSL. Earlier, BoringSSL was useful for newer features like QUIC/HTTP3 support, but now the latter feature is in official openssl 3.2, and mainline nginx 1.25+ also rolled out this capability based on openssl as well.

[PRQ#50126] Deletion Request for jenkins-lts
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 24 Mar '24

24 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for jenkins-lts [2]: Unmaintained server application package, last updated in Dec 2022. Not useful to keep. Upstream releases a new version every 4 weeks. There are much better, robust, infrastructure operations friendly delivery solutions to facilitate deployment and upgrading Jenkins server application instances, with automated backup and rollback capabilities, compared to just pulling a PKGBUILD off of AUR. Also developers can utilize simple package / container managers for their own local testing instance(s).

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

24 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for librdkafka1 [2]: Legacy version pkg; not needed anymore. Conflicts with repo's librdkafka and declares it provides librdkafka. This is not practical and also does not conform to AUR submission guidelines. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/librdkafka1/
