[PRQ#43911] Deletion Request for clementine-git
eclairevoyant [1] filed a deletion request for clementine-git [2]: dead project (all the commits on upstream in the last year are dependency bumps), doesn't build without protobuf 21 (which is not packaged), and is superceded by https://www.strawberrymusicplayer.org/ [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/eclairevoyant/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/clementine-git/
It seems premature to delete this package, for the following reasons: - the project is not at all dead: pull requests and direct commits from humans, not just bots get accepted continually, - some people still prefer Clementine over its fork, Strawberry, - there's a quite active discussion on the stable AUR/clementine package page since repo dropped it, - someone figured out a simple way to fix the build of the latter, - that package has a new maintainer, - the project hasn't released a tagged version since 2016, but as they are continually fixing the build for current systems, it makes sense to keep this package, either for testing purposes or even for daily use.
