[PRQ#59772] Deletion Request for widevine
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 29 Apr '24

29 Apr '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for widevine [2]: Re-filing a deletion request due to not receiving any response [a] as to the rationale to keep this duplicate of the properly packaged AUR/chromium-widevine. [b] The AUR/widevine package was created with the sole purpose of offering ARM support, and x86_64 was only added to mask its intent. Also I believe it is not okay to create duplicates on AUR when there is already a maintained package which works with Arch Linux. AUR/widevine's maintainer should collaborate with that of AUR/chromium-widevine and suggest enhancements there, if there are relevant ones. In addition, AUR/widevine has other problems. As its used release deliverables for different platforms diverge in their version: - AUR/widevine pkgver: 4.10.2252.0 - x86_64: upstream - 4.10.2710.0 (released 2024-02-12) - aarch64/armhf: RaspberryPi.org/Debian - 4.10.2252.0 (released 2023-10-05) - (AUR/chromium-widevine pkgver: 4.10.2710.0, released 2024-02-12) As the RPI distro does not carry the latest version, it seems not to be viable to carry binaries for different architectures in the same PKGBUILD. Which leads me to conclude that a PKGBUILD for the RPI releases should be submitted to the ArchLinuxARM.org repositories only. That would actually benefit users more, while not cluttering the AUR.

[PRQ#59776] Deletion Request for ffmpeg-nocuda
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 29 Apr '24

29 Apr '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ffmpeg-nocuda [2]: Unbuildable duplicate build of Arch/extra/ffmpeg (though newer version.) Maintainer typically creates broken packages. Arch repo's ffmpeg also builds without cuda support. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/ffmpeg-nocuda/

[PRQ#59731] Deletion Request for redisinsight-deb
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 29 Apr '24

29 Apr '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for redisinsight-deb [2]: '-deb' is not a proper pkgname suffix for a prebuilt deliverables based package. There is already an AUR/redis-insight-bin [a], which needs to be taken care of because it is abandoned. (As of now that package is based on an AppImage release, but it doesn't have to stay that way. Typically -bin packages are preferentially based on nonsandboxed releases like .deb, rpm etc. So it would be much better to update that to the latest .deb release than to have this duplicate with a nonconformant pkgname.)

[PRQ#59173] Deletion Request for android-file-transfer-linux
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 29 Apr '24

29 Apr '24

FabioLolix [1] filed a deletion request for android-file-transfer- linux [2]: Duplicate of android-file-transfer in [Extra], when this was uploaded it was questionable about its source=() which was a fork of https://github.com/whoozle/android-file-transfer-linux with only a new version tagged (doing this inconvenience repology.org) https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=android-file- transfer-linux&id=0750d55e04ef34ba42535fc6a8675015cdb64f84 Uploader seems was unaware of the existence of android-file-transfer in the Arch repo since 8 years > Of course I saw it until somebody decided to create a new package without -linux in its package name and that is why this. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/android-file-transfer- linux#comment-965253 [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/FabioLolix/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/android-file-transfer-linux/

yochananmarqos [1] filed a deletion request for crankshaft-bin [2]: See PRQ#59767. Upstream website is gone and the Flatpak is no longer available on Flathub as the application is no longer maintained. The application hasn't worked in well over a year and there's been no upstream activity. https://crankshaft.space/ https://flathub.org/apps/space.crankshaft.Crankshaft https://git.sr.ht/~avery/crankshaft [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/yochananmarqos/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/crankshaft-bin/

[PRQ#58891] Merge Request for drush-launcher
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 29 Apr '24

29 Apr '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge drush-launcher [2] into drush- launcher-git [3]: AUR/drush-launcher fails to build, but the git package works. Though upstream is EOL, and the GitHub repo is archived, I think the working package can be kept as long as it's functional.
