[aur-requests] [PRQ#7497] Orphan Request for bashish
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 16 Feb '17

16 Feb '17

jamesan [1] filed a orphan request for bashish [2]: The package is out of date and doesn't build due to its dated PKGBUILD format implementation (such as not assigning an array of strings to the $LICENSE variable). It hasn't been updated for a year and a half and the out-of-date flag has been raised for half a year. Comments dating back 2-3 years also raise concerns over PKGBUILD and packaging standard exceptions. I'd like to have this orphaned to update it. I also intend to restore the current maintainer as a co-maintainer to minimise permission jousting should the user come back to this package. Thanks, James [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/jamesan/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/bashish/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#7527] Deletion Request for shutter-bzr
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 16 Feb '17

16 Feb '17

PhotonX [1] filed a deletion request for shutter-bzr [2]: I noticed that the latest Shutter release corresponds to the latest Shutter bzr revision (both from 2014-12-24) so the shutter-bzr package is obsolete.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#7448] Deletion Request for firefox-dev
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 15 Feb '17

15 Feb '17

Eschwartz [1] filed a deletion request for firefox-dev [2]: Frivolous duplicate of firefox-developer (or possibly firefox-aurora, since all three seem to be essentially the same, but the other two maintainers need to figure things out). This package, on the other hand, was initially uploaded a couple days ago with the (pinned) comment: "In case you're wondering why this is a clone of `firefox-developer`: this is auto-updated every hour, without user intervention (and has sha512 hashes!). Check out the script at https://github.com/denysvitali/aur-firefox-dev-automaintainer" In what world is uploading identical packages under different names, to fix checksum issues and pkgver update frequency, okay? @denvit, if you don't like the way a package is being maintained, the appropriate response is to discuss it with the maintainers, not to upload a *third* version of the exact same package under a misleading name. Stop spamming the AUR. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/Eschwartz/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/firefox-dev/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#7519] Deletion Request for osu-native-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 15 Feb '17

15 Feb '17

SirCmpwn [1] filed a deletion request for osu-native-git [2]: As discussed on IRC with svetlemodry, refiling the deletion request. This AUR package generates a lot of noise for us upstream. This is not end user software - if a developer wants to use it, they'll just build the code; if an end user wants to use it, they'll just install the AUR package and bother us with bugs and support noise for incomplete software. osu! is pretty popular and arch linux is pretty popular and the combination of these facts makes a lot of hassle for us.
