[PRQ#40095] Deletion Request for guile-sdl
micwoj92 [1] filed a deletion request for guile-sdl [2]: out of date, orphan, uses guile-baux which is not compatible with guile 3.0 https://gitlab.com/restio-al-restio/guile-baux/-/issues/1 [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/micwoj92/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/guile-sdl/
Hello, I just wanted to highlight the fact that you do not delete orphaned packages just because they are orphaned, if you check the orphan section there are tons of orphaned packages. All this package needs is a maintainer, thus I do not see why I deletion request was submitted, he complaints you have made about the package is just because the package has no maintainer, deletion occurs due to the following reasons: - Package added to community repository - Upstream is abandoned, this does not seem to be the case, correct me if I am wrong. - Package violates the AUR submission guidelines. This package needs a maintainer, if you want this package maintained I suggest posting to the aur-general list (or joining libera.chat and joining #archlinux-aur to discuss this issue) and see if anyone is willing to take on the package and maintain it. This email is for micwoj92 and not the TUs, I have just onlisted this in case I am wrong and spread misinformation. I am not a TU just given some helpful advice (well hopefully it is helpful).

sending again because i did not send it to mailing list: First upstream update after 0.5.2 was published on 2021-12-11, I have flagged it as out of date, then also submitted orphan request. This package has 0.000000 popularity and no other package needs these bindings. If noone seems to use it then why keep it? Also you did not read the reason, while it is not abandoned by upstream it does not build with guile version 3 and this is main reason for my deletion request. Additionally these bindings are for sdl which can be considered dead, there is guile-sdl2 package which is maintained, updated and needed for other package. wt., 7 lut 2023 o 09:50 Polarian <polarian@polarian.dev> napisał(a):

Hello, I would like to highlight that not everyone votes for packages, packages on the AUR should not be deleted unless there is a good reason to, and your reason is probably not a good enough reason. -- Polarian GPG signature: 0770E5312238C760 Website: https://polarian.dev JID/XMPP: polarian@polarian.dev
