[aur-requests] [PRQ#19659] Merge Request for instant-meshes
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 25 Jul '20

25 Jul '20

henry0w [1] filed a request to merge instant-meshes [2] into instant- meshes-git [3]: This PKGBUILD was incorrectly marked as a stable release, so I created instant-meshes-git. The original maintainer also appears to be MIA, as the PKGBUILD has not been updated since 2016, and has been flagged out of date for a month now. I sent out an email to him 2 days ago asking him to disown the package, and he hasn't responded yet.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#20526] Orphan Request for python-hjson
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 24 Jul '20

24 Jul '20

bbaserdem [1] filed an orphan request for python-hjson [2]: This package depends on the github source; which is outdated (although the github version says that the version is 3.6.5; it is released in 2014. While the pypi version says 3.0.1; BUT is released in 3.0.1). The last activity by the author was in 2017 and have not acted on the out-of-date flag from january; so fair to assume that the user is absent from AUR management. I can fix the versioning and the outdated source if I can take over the package. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/bbaserdem/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-hjson/

Re: [aur-requests] [PRQ#20459] Deletion Request for libpdfium-nojs
by Felix Kauselmann 24 Jul '20

There are technical reasons for this. I need the full main git repo to count the number of fixes on the current releases branch. This would not be possible if I'd clamp to a specific branch or commit (upstream has no release tags). I also need to assemble the source dependencies needed for the build. Upstream handles this via a collection of scripts called depot_tools, but this pulls in tons of unneeded source and git history in the gigabyte range, which I don't want. I have thus opted for a process closer to the recommended handling of git submodules, with the difference that instead of adding submodules I extract the needed git revisions from the depot_tools DEPS file in the release branch and do git checkouts. That being said, I too am not too happy with this build process and I am open for suggestions on how to improve it, but this is probably more a topic for aur-general or the arch forums.

Ok, I pushed a new version of the PKGBUILD.
