[PRQ#59465] Deletion Request for flaxpdf-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 May '24

01 May '24

a821 [1] filed a deletion request for flaxpdf-git [2]: Orphan package from 2015. No reverse depends. No recent votes. The software is not really compatible with newer versions of poppler, meaning, it cannot be built in Arch Linux. See issues #7 and #8 in the upstream repo, which I could confirm while trying to compile it. The developer is not interested in fixing the issues unless someone provides patches. See his comment in #7. https://github.com/clbr/flaxpdf/issues [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/a821/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/flaxpdf-git/

[PRQ#59476] Deletion Request for hydra-bin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 May '24

01 May '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for hydra-bin [2]: Broken, unmaintained, seemingly unused package (1 vote, 0 comments). Does not declare the necessary conflicts entry. Also Arch/extra/hydra is a completely different application, therefore provides=hydra is misleading and wrong.

[PRQ#59482] Deletion Request for subdownloader
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 May '24

01 May '24

micwoj92 [1] filed a deletion request for subdownloader [2]: This package uses setuptools to build. Sphinx 7 removed support for setuptools, which makes it unable to build this package: File "/home/damian101/.cache/yay/subdownloader/src/subdownloader-2.1.0/setup.py", line 11, in <module> from sphinx.setup_command import BuildDoc ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'sphinx.setup_command' ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().

[PRQ#59488] Deletion Request for rofi-lbonn-wayland-acd407
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 May '24

01 May '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for rofi-lbonn-wayland-acd407 [2]: Broken, dead-on-arrival copy of AUR/rofi-lbonn-wayland-git [a], by submitter @acd407. '-acd407' is not a useful package name qualifier. Also this is a VCS build in disguise. [a]: https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/rofi-lbonn-wayland-git [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/rofi-lbonn-wayland-acd407/

[PRQ#59522] Deletion Request for tws-latest
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 May '24

01 May '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for tws-latest [2]: Duplicate of AUR/ib-tws [a], which was submitted 8 years earlier than this. The latter uses the same 'latest', unversioned download URL, and automaticall gets pkgver bumped and checksum adjusted by a CI process set up by owner @benalexau. There is absolutely zero benefit in keeping this duplicate. Also @benalexau is very attentive, so if any packaging issue gets reported, he always seems to respond quickly and does what is necessary to address it.

[PRQ#59490] Deletion Request for sakura-gtk2
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 May '24

01 May '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for sakura-gtk2 [2]: Broken legacy package, fails to build. This version is from 2011. [a] AUR/sakura offers to build upstream's latest version (from 2023) and works. [b] Does not seem useful to keep the defunct gtk2 package. [a]: https://github.com/dabisu/sakura/releases/tag/SAKURA_2_4_2 [b]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sakura [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/sakura-gtk2/

[PRQ#59491] Deletion Request for appmenu-glib-translator-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 May '24

01 May '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for appmenu-glib-translator-git [2]: This tries (but fails) to build the exact same code as the split package AUR/vala-panel-appmenu-xfce-git (owned by same AUR maintainer) [a], from the same source: https://gitlab.com/vala-panel-project/vala-panel-appmenu This is a pointless duplication. If there is a need to package some extra files with a separate $pkgname, those should be added inside the existing AUR/vala-panel-appmenu-xfce- git as a new split package entry. [a]: https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/vala-panel-appmenu-xfce-git [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/appmenu-glib-translator-git/
