[PRQ#61378] Orphan Request for zfs-prune-snapshots
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 15 Jul '24

15 Jul '24

ScottE [1] filed an orphan request for zfs-prune-snapshots [2]: No updates from the maintainer for 4.5 years, with several releases from the upstream over that time. Applying updates is trivial, it's just a bash script, so not a use maintenance burden. Recommend orphaning this package so somebody else can take over maintenance. Thank you!

[PRQ#61292] Deletion Request for upg
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 13 Jul '24

13 Jul '24

xiota [1] filed a deletion request for upg [2]: Maintainer is upstream dev. Program looks like a personal system maintenance script that is dangerous for other users to run. Does not belong on AUR. Maintainer was notified of issues on GitHub last week. I also commented on AUR, intent to open deletion request. Maintainer has not responded. Review of package and script found the following: * PKGBUILD does not use checksums or signature, allowing retag to arbitrary commit. * Script options are hard coded with no way for user adjust without editing the script. This indicates script is suitable only for personal use by the author. * Script deletes pacman lockfile - could cause significant damage to system. * Script modifies grub and initramfs - could make system unbootable with no benefit because package managers typically already perform these tasks as needed. * Script runs tasks that users may not want: clears cache, empties trash * Script makes runtime assumptions that don't necessarily hold (eg, certain variables are not empty), potentially unintentionally altering system files.
