Re: [PRQ#47140] Deletion Request for libvlc

Turns out, this is a bogus binary dummy package, not a source-based build of upstream's libvlc library. On 9 September 2023 21:16:04 GMT+02:00, notify@aur.archlinux.org wrote:

Abandoned PKGBUILD from 2019, which claims but does not provide 'vlc'.

Not useful to keep. Extra repo carries the latest VLC, and that package doesn't really need much more dependencies or disk space than this would at the same version.

Nothing depends on 'libvlc', nor on its subpackage, 'libvlccore', on AUR.

Safe to delete.
