[PRQ#67423] Deletion Request for garu
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 25 Dec '24

25 Dec '24

a821 [1] filed a deletion request for garu [2]: I suggest to delete this abandoned package because: The PKGBUILD does not follow the guidelines. I pointed this out a year ago in the comments without reaction. No comments besides mine. No votes. Development started and stopped about the same time of the AUR submission [0] (dev was maintainer). Finally, this AUR helper isn't very good. It just downloads the PKGBUILD via the cgit interface (git clone?, what's that?), recreates the .SRCINFO, and then runs "makepkg -i --noconfirm" [1]. No chance to inspect the PKGBUILD before sourcing it, and obviously it doesn't work if the PKGBUILD includes additional files (eg patches) because they are not downloaded. To me this looks like a programming exercise. Safe to delete.

FabioLolix [1] filed a deletion request for rainbow-cm-git [2]: A gtk2 clipboard manager, alternatives don't lack. Cleanup of SDE related packages 0 votes, only one my comment on upload day 2023-05-22 for packaging improvement which have been ignored, this maintainer seem to have been active only on that day. The program is broken since automake v1.17 update on 2024/07, upstream is letargic and haven't even replied to issues https://github.com/sde-gui/rainbow-cm/issues/2 https://github.com/sde-gui/qk/issues/1 [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/FabioLolix/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/rainbow-cm-git/

[PRQ#67154] Deletion Request for curl-quiche-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 25 Dec '24

25 Dec '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for curl-quiche-git [2]: Unused, badly packaged, unneeded. Executes git clone in prepare(), to fetch CloudFlare's quiche library, recursively, with its boringssl git submodule repo (the latter is Google's somewhat experimental fork of openssl.) BoringSSL's statically built libcrypto.a and libssl.so are used in this curl build, but still the PKGBUILD erroneously lists 'openssl' in depends. Also the pkgname is not good enough: it should reference 'boringssl' too, not just 'quiche', to differentiate from default Arch curl and AUR/curl-git build. Now upsteam openssl supports the QUIC protocol natively, and so does the stable curl release in repo - doesn't need BoringSSL and the quiche library for it. As for AUR usage, or the lack thereof: Votes: 0 Popularity: 0.000000 First Submitted: 2023-04-05 Last Updated: 2023-04-05 Comments: 0 Specific reverse dependencies: 0 [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/curl-quiche-git/
