[PRQ#59317] Deletion Request for python2-pyliblzma
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Apr '24

21 Apr '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-pyliblzma [2]: EOL Python2 bindings to liblzma (xz). Its only reverse dependency was yum, which is EOL since 2011 and hasn't worked on Arch Linux for at least the past 3 years. (Its AUR package has already been deleted in response to PRQ#58748). Therefore this build no loner has a use case and can safely be deleted from AUR. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python2-pyliblzma/

[PRQ#59315] Deletion Request for junipersknot
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Apr '24

21 Apr '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for junipersknot [2]: EOL software from 2012. AUR package broken since 2018. Upstream's webpage and release archive seem to be deleted (404). Even if available, this would no longer be functional on Arch Linux, as python2-pygame fails to build due to incompatibilities in its binary bindings to ELF libraries from Arch repo like portaudio.

[PRQ#59307] Deletion Request for polkit-dumb-agent-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Apr '24

21 Apr '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for polkit-dumb-agent-git [2]: Broken, unbuildable on current Arch Linux / KDE Plasma 6. Upstream has been abandoned for 3 years [a], and doesn't respond even to build failure or use-case-breaking issues. [b] Also this was a just a crude hack attempt to neutralize / thwart PolKit on KDE and replace it with kdesu, to launch everything that needs any specific temporarily elevated credential with granting that process a runtime-persistent root access via su. Such a hack is totally unneeded nowadays. A majority of popular GUI applications that require elevated access do support PolKit, and the ones that don't still can invoke a temporary sudo-based root process. In my experience, Arch Linux is very mature in its PolKit support. I primarily use KDE desktop but with many GNOME and third-party applications, and they work just fine without any PolKit hacks. It is not worth trying to fix this broken package because this program is ill-conceived. If there is any PolKit/credential issue experienced with any application, an issue should be filed for upstream and/or for the Arch Linux package in question.
