[PRQ#53818] Orphan Request for thunderbird-appmenu
detian [1] filed an orphan request for thunderbird-appmenu [2]: won't build, lasted commit are "autohook" [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/detian/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/thunderbird-appmenu/
thunderbird-appmenu [1] currently fails to build because: * mismatched source and checksum arrays * missing depends or makedepends Maintainer has been notified via comment, but appears to ignore them. The package appears to be receiving automated version bumps without any attempt to check that they are working. The package also has previously reported issues that have not been fixed, such as missing provides/conflicts, reported on 2022-12-31. Since current maintainer has not addressed issues for well over a year and updates are automated, the package should be considered unmaintained. It should be orphaned so someone else may update it.

I agree with all statements made by submitter and by @xiota. But in addition, it is unclear what was the exact purpose of this package. It has a patch for the Unity desktop environment, which was made EOL by Ubuntu since 5+ years ago. There was a short-lived one-person fork that tried to revive it, but that is also abandoned since 2021 and doesn't work on Arch Linux. If Unity DE was the target of this package, then it no longer serves any useful purpose and should be deleted.
Request #53818 has been Accepted by muflone [1]: [Autogenerated] Accepted orphan for thunderbird-appmenu. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/muflone/
