[aur-requests] [PRQ#34766] Deletion Request for nvidia-module-all-drivers-meta
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 May '22

23 May '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for nvidia-module-all-drivers- meta [2]: This compatibility metapackage is not needed anymore. I have created it temporarily to help e.g. nvidia-exec and nvidia- tweaks AUR packages to find Nvidia kernel driver dependency even if a particular Nvidia driver package did not specify providing 'NVIDIA-MODULE'. Affected were some custom AUR Nvidia driver/dkms packages and some Manjaro repo packages. But as of now all affected AUR packages have added the necessary provides. Manjaro also has added that in every unstable and testing branch driver packages. (In Manjaro stable branch, these updates are expected to arrive by mid-June. Until then, the nvidia-dkms package already provides 'NVIDIA-MODULE' in the stable repo branch, so users do have a working solution for using the aforementioned AUR packages even before the other driver updates get released for them.) Safe to delete this metapackage. No loss of function expected. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/nvidia-module-all-drivers-meta/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#34771] Deletion Request for virtualbox-modules-lts
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 May '22

23 May '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for virtualbox-modules-lts [2]: Oprhaned package, created in 2017, last updated in Feb 2021. Name and description a little vague, but it seems this was intended to build virtualbox-host-modules for the Arch linux-lts kernel. Already in 2017, it was indicated that its provides field is wrong, but it was not addressed. Also there are other reports of build failures from 2020 and 2021, none of which have been replied to. As of now this package is definitely not needed, as the Arch [community] repo does provide 'VIRTUALBOX-HOST-MODULES' in virtualbox-host-dkms package. That package expliciy declares: replaces= virtualbox-host-modules-lts. The package works with the linux-lts kernel if that is installed. Therefore this orphaned and broken AUR package is superfluous and not worth keeping. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/virtualbox-modules-lts/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#34768] Deletion Request for virtualbox51-guest-iso
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 May '22

23 May '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for virtualbox51-guest-iso [2]: Orphaned legacy package, last updated in 2018. Even VirtualBox 5.2 is EOL since July 2020, it fails to build and install on Linux 5.8 and newer. (The earlier virtualbox 5.0 and 5.2 AUR packages just got deleted for this reason.) There exists a VirtualBox 6.1-based guest addition ISO, downloadable from official site. Also Arch [community] carries that package: https://archlinux.org/packages/community/any/virtualbox-guest-iso/ This orphaned package is therefore not needed and might not even work correctly.
