by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 10 Dec '24

10 Dec '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for marionnet-trunk [2]: Dead, unused package from 2016, missing a dependency.

[PRQ#57379] Merge Request for wechat-beta-bwrap
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Sep '24

01 Sep '24

Kimiblock [1] filed a request to merge wechat-beta-bwrap [2] into wechat-uos-bwrap [3]: This package is basically wechat-uos-bwrap, with no sandboxing which means this proprietary app can obtain any system data or user data The reason why wechat-uos-bwrap doesn’t come with beta in name is the fact that the app doesn’t recognize itself as a beta [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/Kimiblock/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/wechat-beta-bwrap/ [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/wechat-uos-bwrap/

[PRQ#57762] Merge Request for wechat-beta-bwrap
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Sep '24

01 Sep '24

7Ji [1] filed a request to merge wechat-beta-bwrap [2] into wechat- universal-bwrap [3]: The native Linux client `Wechat (Beta)` was released as `Wechat (Universal)` on the Uniontech OS appstore officially [a], being a distinct package (`com.tencent.wechat`) from the previous `wechat-uos` package (`com.tencent.weixin`, available on AUR as `wechat-uos`[b] and `wechat-uos-bwrap`[c]). As this is official, having `beta` in the name does not make sense any more. To make this distinct from the previous package that's not built natively for Linux, I've created a new PKGBUILD `wechat-universal- bwrap`, please merge the `-beta` into `-universal`. [a]: https://bbs.chinauos.com/zh/post/17786 [b]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wechat-uos [c]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wechat-uos-bwrap [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/7Ji/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/wechat-beta-bwrap/ [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/wechat-universal-bwrap/

[PRQ#59191] Deletion Request for widevine
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Jun '24

02 Jun '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for widevine [2]: This package is broken and not compatible with Arch Linux x86_64. It is also unneeded for Chromium or Firefox, as both of them can download the widewine module on-demand, if the user enables support for DRM-protected content. There is an AUR/chromium-widevine [a] that is compatible with Arch Linux and can be used with other packages that need widewine, like the silo-{netflix,primevideo} standalone apps or the qtwebflix-git plugin. Therefore keeping AUR/widewine is both pointless and superfluous.

[PRQ#58986] Deletion Request for ocaml-lastfm
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 19 May '24

19 May '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ocaml-lastfm [2]: This library no longer works, because dependency ocamlnet has been abandonware for years and is only compatible with Ocaml 4. Therefore the latest update to this PKGBUILD is dead-on-arrival. Last consumer of this library was liquidsoap, itself long broken, with a kind-of abandonware upstream and deprecated legacy dependencies that only work with Ocaml4. It got deleted from AUR recently (March 2024). [a] [a]: PRQ#57940 https://lists.archlinux.org/archives/list/aur- requests(a)lists.archlinux.org/thread/FC4OAFMZ2ELWKTWAN6BOWVNZIJTWHP6R [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/ocaml-lastfm/
