[PRQ#50540] Deletion Request for balsa-gtk2
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 13 Apr '24

13 Apr '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for balsa-gtk2 [2]: Unbuildable old version of balsa from 2013. Has been broken for years on AUR at least due to broken dependencies, then missing Python2 deps, then incompetently replaced deps. But this package's owner did nothing to fix these issues or communicate with those who can remedy them. It seems though that this build has zero prospective users on AUR, so it's not beneficial to keep. Also, there's virtually no pure-Gtk2 desktop environments available from not just the Arch repo but from the AUR as well. So it's not practical to stick to decade-old versions of GUI applications just for the sake of gtk2. (AUR has the 'gtk3-classic' package, which is a community-maintained patched "fork" of gtk3, tailored for non-GNOME desktops and those people who prefer the more traditional desktop GUI experience akin to what gkt2 provided. The project welcomes further contributions as well.) The current version of balsa, released in 2022, is available in extra repo. It uses the gtk3 toolkit.

[PRQ#52314] Deletion Request for zenity-gtk2
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 13 Apr '24

13 Apr '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for zenity-gtk2 [2]: Doesn't build in a clean chroot. Not useful to keep. There is no pure- Gtk2 desktop environment available from Arch or AUR repo. Users should stick to Arch repo's zenity. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/zenity-gtk2/

[PRQ#52327] Deletion Request for notification-daemon-gtk2
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 13 Apr '24

13 Apr '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for notification-daemon-gtk2 [2]: Not useful to keep this defunct GNOME2 lib from 2010. There is no GNOME2 or other Gtk2-based desktop environment available in Arch/AUR repos. And Gtk2 applications work just fine with [extra] repo's Gtk3-based notification-daemon. The package is frequently broken due to relying on unmaintained legacy dependencies like gstreamer0.10.

[PRQ#52930] Deletion Request for xfce4-genmon-plugin-gtk2
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 13 Apr '24

13 Apr '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for xfce4-genmon-plugin-gtk2 [2]: The Gtk2 based Xfce4 has been EOL for 5+ years now. (With some components having been last released even earlier, 7 years ago, in 2017.) This package mistakenly declares 'xfce4-panel' as its dependency, which is carried by Arch repo and uses the latest version with gtk3. But the true dependency of this, 'xfce4-panel-gtk2' (released in 2017) fails to build from source, just like many other Xfce4-Gtk2 packages on AUR. All Xfce4 distro packages using Gtk2 are pending deletion now (actually some have already been accepted by a PM to be dropped). Not useful to keep this. Arch extra repo carries the current version of xfce4-genmon-plugin (based on gtk3). [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/xfce4-genmon-plugin-gtk2/

[PRQ#53955] Deletion Request for avahi-gtk2
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 13 Apr '24

13 Apr '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for avahi-gtk2 [2]: Unmaintained, unneeded package. There are no more functioning pure-gtk2 desktop environments available from either Arch repos or the AUR. It is enough to keep repo's avahi, which is getting regular updates for newer upstream commits. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/avahi-gtk2/
