[aur-requests] [PRQ#4465] Deletion Request for drmips-doc
brunonova [1] filed a deletion request for drmips-doc [2]: The drmips-doc package existed because the documentation was written in LaTeX, which means a lot of dependencies. The docs were now converted to HTML and included in the drmips package, so this package is not needed anymore.

Hm, maybe some people may still want the LaTeX sources, prefer pdf over HTML and do not care about dependencies. Let's keep it! Best Regards Stefan

Why would we keep a package that tries to build things that no longer exists upstream? -- Sincerely, Johannes Löthberg PGP Key ID: 0x50FB9B273A9D0BB5 https://theos.kyriasis.com/~kyrias/
