[PRQ#53359] Deletion Request for python2-pickleshare
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 19 Mar '24

19 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-pickleshare [2]: This has already been deleted in response to PRQ#48172 (2023-09-29) [a]. Now it got recreated dead-on-arrival, without declaring a needed dependency. The submitter, Pellegrino Prevete (dual aliases on AUR: @tallero, @truocolo) was MIA for almost the entire year of 2023, but when he's back, he typically pushes broken packages and broken updates. As reverse dependency ipython2 has been dead on AUR since 2021, and got deleted already once, it does not make sense to keep this package. ipython2 has been recreated DOA in 2023-07 and no user commented on it all throughout the year. As per AUR submission guidelines, packages kept here should be in demand by more than a few users. These builds clearly don't hit that particular bar.

[PRQ#50766] Deletion Request for aria2fe
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 19 Mar '24

19 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for aria2fe [2]: Discontinued Qt4 based download manager GUI from 2007. AUR package last changed: 2015-10-12. Seems not used on AUR: 0 comments. Does not support desktop GUI scaling / font scaling, so on a FullHD or higher resolution screen, the window elements are too small and the font is too large, which results in hidden and incomplete / partially visible text elements. I recommend deletion. There are better and newer alternatives that integrate more smoothly with currently used desktop environments. E.g.: - extra/uget (Gtk3) - extra/persepolis (Qt5) - AUR/motrix (Electron) - and surely there are more. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/aria2fe/
