[PRQ#49691] Deletion Request for qtox-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 19 Mar '24

[PRQ#49542] Deletion Request for opendds
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 19 Mar '24

19 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for opendds [2]: Unneeded, unused double library package from 2020. Bundles in an old version of the library called ace, so it states it provides and conflicts with that. But there's a newer version of ace as a separate package on AUR, and only that one has actual consumers. This one is not needed by any other pkg. Safe to delete.

[PRQ#49113] Merge Request for wxlauncher
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 19 Mar '24

19 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge wxlauncher [2] into wxlauncher- git [3]: Upstream hasn't released a stable tag since 2016. 'wxlaucher' depends on Python3 but with python2-wxpython3. 'wxlauncher-git', however, is purely on Python3, and is better compatible with wxwidgets-gtk3.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 19 Mar '24

19 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for nomad-firewall-git [2]: Duplicate of nx-firewall-git. Legacy, EOL, GitHub repo archived. Not needed: KDE Plasma ships with a firewall config module. Also see deletion request for nx-firewall-git (PRQ#49702). [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/nomad-firewall-git/

[PRQ#49196] Deletion Request for ros2-galactic
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Mar '24

18 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ros2-galactic [2]: Unneeded, defunct package. ROS 2 Galaxy distribution was based on Ubuntu 20.04, and is EOL since Dec 2022. On AUR it depends on broken packages, and it is also incompatible with many of Arch core's new library versions. Actually it doesn't make sense to maintain old foreign distro packages on Arch which are targeted for legacy Ubuntu LTS versions, because Arch is a leading-edge rolling distro, whose aim and offering is freshness, not very long backwards compatibility with ancient toolchains and system libraries. Arch users should migrate to the newest maintained ROS 2 distribution (Iron Irwini), or better yet, ROS 2 Rolling. (Packages for both are available on AUR.) Or they could just use the main upstream ROS distribution images. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/ros2-galactic/

18 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ros2-foxy [2]: Unneeded, defunct package. ROS 2 Foxy distribution was based on Ubuntu 20.04, and is EOL since March 2023. On AUR it depends on broken packages, and it is also incompatible with many of Arch core's new library versions.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Mar '24

18 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for freetype2-v35 [2]: Unneeded, outdated (v2.13.0 from 2023-03) variant of extra repo's freetype2 (v2.13.2 from 2023-09). The repo package also supports the legacy v35 font subpixel hinting. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/freetype2-v35/
