[PRQ#62716] Deletion Request for shiba-bin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Sep '24

01 Sep '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for shiba-bin [2]: Broken due to unbuildable legacy dependency/chain electron2, or electron2-bin←gconf. Upstream has not released a new stable binary since 2018. [a] Development in the master branch is still ongoing, so it seems a source-built shiba-git package *might* still be viable to submit to AUR. Also, Electron runs with setuid/setgid (providing a form of passwordless root process execution potential), so the 6-year old Electron2 is extremely insecure and should be avoided.

[PRQ#62705] Deletion Request for python-freesms
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Sep '24

01 Sep '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-freesms [2]: Discontinued, defunct self-developed Python library of submitter, with misleading name and pkgdesc, and no reverse dependencies. This never provided "free sms" services, only the initiation of "SMS to self" notification messages using a SIM card with a contract from for-pay French mobile service provider named "Free Mobile". The library no longer works, as the provider switched the API from asking for and accepting a username and password sent in cleartext, to requiring a user-enabled, auto-generated unique, static API token. The latter is not supported by this legacy Python module that is out of development for 3+ years.
