[PRQ#51462] Deletion Request for python-thrift-sasl
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Mar '24

21 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-thrift-sasl [2]: I've considered helping out with this Python library package here, but realized it isn't worth it. It has been abandoned since 2021 not just on AUR but also by upstream. [a] It is practically broken for real-world use cases, see issue #28. [b] Upstream is not a garage project or a lone individual, but billion dollar revenue commercial company Cloudera, with a strong presence and participation in open-source technologies. Which means that if they did see a practical use case for themselves and/or any of their clients, who do use a wide variety of cloud stack elements, then they wouldn't have left this to become obsolete and burdened with use-case breaking bugs. Also there are just a few comments on the few issues in their GitHub, which is also an indication that this is not in need by people and projects. Also nothing depends on it. Safe to delete.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Mar '24

[PRQ#49485] Deletion Request for adapta-gtk-theme-wal
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Mar '24

21 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for adapta-gtk-theme-wal [2]: Unused, abandoned package from 2018; minimally modded variant of repo's adapta-gtk-theme. (pkgdesc is a copy of that of repo package, so it doesn't clarify the purpose of this pkg. Inside the build function, it just hard-codes some colors). Maintainer unresponsive - there was one user comment, posing a question, in 2020. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/adapta-gtk-theme-wal/

21 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for rpw [2]: This Minecraft resource pack editor had its last stable release in 2017, and got discontinued since 2018. It has many reported, unresolved issues , and it doesn't support Resource Pack format 4+. [a] The GitHub project is archived since 2018. [a] It doesn't seem useful to keep this on AUR, so I recommend deletion.
