[PRQ#49875] Deletion Request for lib32-freeimage
MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-freeimage [2]: This library never seems to have had any consuming bin32/lib32 package to rely on it since 2014. Therefore I recommend deletion. It also does not follow Arch package guidelines like extra/freeimage does in relying on shared libraries; instead, it builds and bundles other libraries inside a static libfreeimageplus.a, like the old version of the following: libraw, openexr, libjpeg, libpng, libtiff4, zlib, openjpeg, libwebp, libjxr. Then it goes on to discard the bundled libfreeimageplus.a file. It seems safe to drop from AUR. No dependents, and last user comment is from 2016.

Request #49875 has been Rejected by MarsSeed [1]: Even broken, unused & unusable packages are allowed on this platform if they have a maintainer. I'm giving up this request. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/
