[aur-requests] [PRQ#31469] Deletion Request for soundconverter-git
ronch808 [1] filed a deletion request for soundconverter-git [2]: The build of this package fails. Say that autogen.sh in missing, which it is. So no way to build the package at this point. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/ronch808/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/soundconverter-git/

Read the comments. The issue is mentioned there. An Orphan request would be more appropiate than a deletion request in this case. Best Regards Stefan

Am I missing something, or are there not actually any comments mentioning that? There is someone that submitted a patch 1.5 years ago that switched to the proper build process but the package looks largely dead despite that.

Hello, Isn't one comment enough? The program itself is well maintained, has versioned tarball releases (latest in Octobre 2021) and works as expected. Best Regards Stefan

A comment from 1.5 years ago is not very recent... If the package has been broken for that whole time without rectification I'd say that the package is poorly maintained. :) The program itself is well maintained and is included in the official repos. This is in regards to the -git version.

Hello, yes, it was poorly maintained, but the normal reaction to a poorly maintained package is filing an orphan request, in the hope that another maintainer will do a better maintenance. Deletion requests normally apply to badly maintained upstream projects (not the case here, otherwise the stable version would not be in the repo), duplicates of repo packages (debatable, maybe the difference to the stable release is too small) or other AUR packages or no longer useful packages (not the case here, otherwise the stable version would not be in the repo). BTW in the meantime the soundconverter-git package has been updated and at least works now. Best Regards Stefan
