[PRQ#50877] Deletion Request for rpgvxace-rtp
MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for rpgvxace-rtp [2]: Unneeded RPG Maker common multimedia assets and runtime .dll's package from 2011. Nothing depends on it on AUR. Source is hosted on an insecure third-party server with expired TLS certificate, therefore curl refuses to download it. Not needed to keep this package on AUR as is. Also, this was only intended to allow reducing the game distribution file size, by omitting these common resources and downloading them once from RPG Maker's official site. But nowadays bandwidth is not a problem. If a game still happens to need these resources, it will link to official upstream site, from where they can be acquired, and it is safer to get it from there and install them only inside the HOME dir, not into the system.

This package that hosts resource files from 2011 that are already bundled with games created with RPG Maker VX Ace has no consumers on AUR, and it is useless on its own. Also, the last PKGBUILD update was done incompetently, so no one who might have had this repo already downloaded have received the packaging fix, and this is therefore still broken for them. (And it won't get new users due to no game PKGBUILDs linking to it anymore.) It is still the best decision to delete it in my view.
Request #50877 has been Rejected by MarsSeed [1]: Maintainer fixed the download URL. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/
