[aur-requests] [PRQ#33967] Deletion Request for pdf-redact-tools
MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for pdf-redact-tools [2]: I suggest it's best to delete this package. Discontinued tool, GitHub repo deactivated (archived) by developer. Its last release was in 2017. In 2020, the developer deprecated the tool and added a warning that it is likely unsafe: it uses ImageMagick to try to sanitize potentially malicious PDF files, but ImageMagick is notorious for its vulnerabilities and insecure architecture. Developer recommends people use another tool, which is 'much better' according to them: AUR/dangerzone. That serves the same purpose and is designed in a more secure fashion. Nothing depends on this package. Safe to delete; no harmful impact. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/pdf-redact-tools/
