[PRQ#49120] Deletion Request for pikaur-aurnews
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Mar '24

18 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for pikaur-aurnews [2]: Unspecified mod/duplicate of pikaur ("with the live aurnews eggzpatch", say pkgdesc). Deliberately a VCS package in disguise (without a pkgver function), which have been asked to be rectified by @haawda in a comment on 2022-11-28, but maintainer refused. [a] At this point it's obvious that maintainer created this package only for himself and does not care about anyone else. Not useful to keep. There's already the proper AUR/pikaur and pikaur-git. If there's any improvement idea, it could be submitted to upstream, who is the same person who maintains the just-mentioned AUR pikaur builds.

[PRQ#49119] Deletion Request for ffmpeg-nocuda
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Mar '24

18 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ffmpeg-nocuda [2]: This package is a pointless duplicate of extra/ffmpeg, as the latter also does not support CUDA, and does not have "nvidias propriatary blobs" as the pkgdesc here implies. This is also incompetently maintained. As of now, it is on pkgver=6.1, which is not yet an existing ffmpeg release. It is actually a git VCS package, without a pkgver() function. The PKGBUILD still has now defunct remnants of a stable package: like an unused 'gitver' variable declaration. (Without a leading '_' underscore as per PKGBUILD guidelines.) This package has no legitimate basis to exist on AUR whatsoever. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/ffmpeg-nocuda/

But you can submit a request from your AUR/python-pixcat-an-prata page and select 'Merge' as the type, and enter the name of the new git package as the target. In the comment field, you can type something like "Renaming git VCS package". This request will also have to be accepted by a PM, but as you are the maintainer, your request will be treated with priority. Here is a quick link for you from where you can submit that 'Merge' type request (which is used on AUR for package renames): https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-pixcat-an-prata/request?next=%2Fpk… Cheers, Marcell / MarsSeed
