Re: [PRQ#60669] Orphan Request for winff
As maintainer, I have told this person repeatedly that I cannot help with the fact the Lazarus maintainer has declared a conflict in between QT and GTK+ runtime libraries. As I use GTK+ based desktops and window managers, I believe that it is my choice to support what I use. I have tried to create a.split package but for the life of me I can't make makedepends work on such It is a total fabrication that I have violated the code of conduct. My style is open and direct and in my 40 years on BITNET, UUNET and the Internet I have always had great interactions with people unless they try to behave like bratty children. This person in particular has an entitled antagonistic communication style and emotional attachment to irrelevant matters unrelated to technical issues. I am willing to accept a.comaintainer that can fix the split package problem if possible and if the solution proposed works to satisfaction, relinquish package ownership to said comaintainer.

xiota [1] filed an orphan request for winff [2]:
This package has incorrect makedepends that is disruptive for some users. Maintainer was notified multiple times by different users in 2021, 2023, 2024, but has refused to correct it, saying "Not my problem". He has also been pushing misinformation and blaming Arch Extra repo.
I am not participating in comments because this maintainer has been aggressively hostile toward me on numerous occasions, in violation of Arch code of conduct. Nor am I flagging the package because the maintainer previously intentionally introduced malicious behavior into a package after it had been flagged. When I brought these complaints to TU/PM, I was told that malicious packages are not a valid reason to orphan.
I am opening this orphan request because users are being negatively affected by this maintainers' actions. Given the timespan that the package has been in a poor state, it should be considered effectively unmaintained and orphaned so someone can fix it.

Hi
As maintainer, I have told this person repeatedly that I cannot help with the fact the Lazarus maintainer has declared a conflict in between QT and GTK+ runtime libraries. As I use GTK+ based desktops and window managers, I believe that it is my choice to support what I use. I have tried to create a.split package but for the life of me I can't make makedepends work on such
As explained in the package comments the lazarus-gtk2 make-dependency is not needed and can be safely removed. It was tested also by myself after rejecting the previous request, sorry for the mistake @xiota. Also FabioLolix sent you a patched PKGBUILD for a splitted package providing both qt and gtk2 versions. Regards -- Fabio Castelli aka Muflone
