[PRQ#62420] Deletion Request for flysight-viewer-qt-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 31 Aug '24

31 Aug '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for flysight-viewer-qt-git [2]: Dead package. Broken on Arch Linux since 2016, with the release of qt 5.6.0 - as per upstream's README [a]: FlySight Viewer should be built using Qt 5.5.1. Later versions of Qt do not include QWebView, which is used by MapView. Votes: 0; Popularity: 0.000000. Last comment apart from mine (2023) is from 2022, various reporting build breakages.

[PRQ#62419] Deletion Request for golden-cheetah
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 31 Aug '24

31 Aug '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for golden-cheetah [2]: Dead, abandoned package from 2020. Reported failing to compile since 2021. I propose to delete this in favor of the working, maintained AUR/golden-cheetah-git. [a] The broken non-git package has 0.000000 popularity, and there was only one "bump" comment from 2023 after the one from 2021. It looks like there is zero interest in maintaining this one. Also, upstream seems to not really care about publishing stable release tags. [b] In my observation, the one release per 1-3 years has meant that most of the time, the last stable tag was incompatible with the actual dependencies available on Arch Linux / AUR.

[PRQ#62416] Deletion Request for quiterss-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 31 Aug '24

31 Aug '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for quiterss-git [2]: It seems this has become obsolete because it depends on the increasingly more frequently breaking component qt5-webkit, EOL since 2017. As of now, all providers of that lib, the qt5-webkit, qt5-webkit-git, qt5-webkit-movableink-git AUR packages fail to build, due to different reasons each (and this has been the case for at least 2-3 months). Upstream has not been maintained since 3 years ago. [a] Meanwhile the continuation fork, AUR/quiterss2-git [b] has been ported to the currently supported qt5-webengine, and therefore it can still be built and used.

[PRQ#62413] Deletion Request for crayonphysicsdeluxe-hib
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 31 Aug '24

31 Aug '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for crayonphysicsdeluxe-hib [2]: I don't think it's worth keeping this abandoned, dead package from 2015. Dependency lib32-qt4 has been unbuildable since 2021, as per comments there. But no one complained on this AUR package's page. Last comment here is from 2015. Popularity: 0.000000.
