[PRQ#52680] Deletion Request for xfce4-session-gtk2
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Apr '24

01 Apr '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for xfce4-session-gtk2 [2]: Obsolete EOL Gtk2 based Xfce4 app. Upstream uses Gtk3 now. Latest version is available in [extra] repo. Many Gtk2 Xfce4 apps fail to build on current Arch Linux. This one also neglects to declare all its needed, direct dependencies. See deletion request PRQ#52678 [a] for additional context and rationale.

[PRQ#52678] Deletion Request for xfce4-appfinder-gtk2
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Apr '24

01 Apr '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for xfce4-appfinder-gtk2 [2]: Obsolete package from 2019. Gtk2-based Xfce4 is EOL. Most such applications had their last releases even earlier, in 2017, and fail to build on current Arch Linux. Several of those have already been accepted for deletion from AUR, and others are pending deletion. Safe to delete this, as Arch extra repo carries the current, working versions of Gtk3 based Xfce4 applications and libraries. There is also a community-maintained, GitHub CI-tested patched Gtk3 fork 'gtk3-classic-xfce', available on AUR, which restores traditional desktop experience elements (no-CSD, normal menu bar, and many more) to Gtk3 that have been removed by the upstream GNOME/Gtk3 project. So there is absolutely no usefulness in keeping dead/EOL/deprecated old variants of Xfce4 packages on AUR, when a user can easily acquire working Xfce4 packages from repo and fine-tune their experience, if desired, with the above-mentioned Gtk3 fork from AUR.
