[PRQ#50811] Deletion Request for enchant-pure
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 14 Apr '24

14 Apr '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for enchant-pure [2]: Unneeded duplicate of extra/enchant, with misleading name. This is less "pure" than extra repo's package, because it has one more mandatory depends than the latter. The repo package defines its dependency on all spell checking engines as optional.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 14 Apr '24

14 Apr '24

milouse [1] filed a deletion request for peeq-bin [2]: This package is orphaned and outdated since a long time.

14 Apr '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for aafm-git [2]: Upstream is EOL since 2014 and has many unresolved use-case-breaking issues. [a] [b] Not beneficial to keep this package.

[PRQ#58942] Deletion Request for python-specviz
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 13 Apr '24

13 Apr '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-specviz [2]: Upstream marked this as EOL 3 years ago, and pushed an empty package update as version 0.8 to PyPI.

[PRQ#59117] Merge Request for mikutter-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 13 Apr '24

13 Apr '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge mikutter-git [2] into mikutter [3]: It's pointless to keep the (long abandoned and broken) git package. Upstream is very sporadically and infrequently maintained, and when it is, developer creates a stable tag immediately. Also it seems the git package is not used by anyone anymore. And it only has 2 votes and no comments. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/mikutter-git/ [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/mikutter/
