by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Dec '23

18 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for yajl-edenhill-git [2]: The source fork used here has not been developed for 4 years. [a] The package is an orphan.

[PRQ#46347] Deletion Request for mcedit-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 17 Dec '23

17 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mcedit-git [2]: The Python2 based MCEdit Unified tool is dead since 2019 and fails to build and run. [a] The project's website recommends the new 'spiritual successor' utility called Amulet Editor (AmuletMC), which, unlike MCEdit-U, works with the new MineCraft 1.13+ level DB as well as the legacy database format.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 17 Dec '23

17 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for conky-lua-archers-git [2]: Orphan, broken VCS package from 2019. Not needed: now the maintained AUR/conky-git also gets built with Lua support. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/conky-lua-archers-git/

[PRQ#46541] Deletion Request for awesome-telegramfix
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 17 Dec '23

17 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for awesome-telegramfix [2]: This 2-commit patched fork is not developed since Aug 2022. [a] It is already 249 commits behind upstream. This package is a VCS build in disguise. I don't think it is useful to keep on AUR. Moreover, this fork was actually for a pull request submitted upstream. [b] But that one was ultimately rejected as not being a viable solution for Telegram Desktop's deadkeys activation issue on AwesomeWM. [b] [a]: https://github.com/felipetavares/awesome [b]: https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/pull/3611 [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/awesome-telegramfix/

[PRQ#46597] Deletion Request for peass
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 17 Dec '23

17 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for peass [2]: Unmaintained package from 2020, VCS build in disguise. Upstream has been renamed/forked to peass-ng. [a] This is a niche infosec tool and there is only 1 comment on it here. And only the defunct, BlackArch-only metapackage, ba-pentest-commons- meta defines this as depends. The latter is submitted for deletion since 14 Jul 2023 (PRQ#44585). I recommend deleting this as well.

[PRQ#46841] Deletion Request for ncsdk
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 17 Dec '23

17 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ncsdk [2]: Broken, unmaintained dual Python2/Python3 package from 2018; uses python(2)-setuptools but does not declare those in (make)depends. Also this is a legacy SDK toolkit for an Intel computer-on-a-stick hardware device manufactured between 2017 and 2019. The SDK's development has also been discontinued since 2019. [a] Contrary to last AUR user comment made by @Eirikr on 2023-04-01, the mentioned legacy Intel device is fully supported by Intel's successor SDK, called OpenVINO™ Toolkit, which is also compatible with newer "Intel Neural Compute Stick" devices. It is not useful to keep this defunct package. [a]: https://github.com/movidius/ncsdk/ [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/ncsdk/
