[PRQ#47528] Deletion Request for freetds-patched-enum
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 03 Dec '23

03 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for freetds-patched-enum [2]: Proposal to delete this outdated, modded variant of repo's freetds, from 2022-06. The latter has received 8 point release updates since that time. There is no evidence of user interest since years. So I think it would be safe to drop this from AUR.

[PRQ#48633] Deletion Request for python-md2gemini
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 03 Dec '23

03 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-md2gemini [2]: Broken, unmaintained package from 2020. With wrong name: this is a CLI application, so its name shouldn't contain the 'python-' prefix. Upstream repo is discontinued, archived. [a] Readme remarks: " Project Status md2gemini is now archived. It’s always been a pile of hacks, and now I’m not that invested in continuing it. " [a]: https://github.com/makew0rld/md2gemini [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-md2gemini/

[PRQ#46616] Deletion Request for system-config-samba
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 03 Dec '23

03 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for system-config-samba [2]: Orphan, broken Gtk2/Python2 based package. Discontinued by upstream Fedora / Red Hat since 2016 [a], and also by its fork project in Ubuntu, around 2017-2018. [b] Source tarball is hosted in AUR git repo. Depends on gksu which is discontinued and its use for giving GUI apps elevated (root) runtime privileges is strongly discouraged. On AUR, there is only an optional consumer which works just fine without this. Therefore I recommend deletion, and it is safe to do so. [a]: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/system-config-samba/c/852adbb2 [b]: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config- samba/+bug/1740419 [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/system-config-samba/

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 03 Dec '23

03 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-m2r [2]: Unneeded, abandoned legacy package. Only python-dephell relied on it, which is discontinued since 2021 and is broken, unbuildable. The successor module is called m2r2, available on AUR as python-m2r2. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-m2r/

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-dephell [2]: Cleanup of the broken, defunct Dephell. Unbuildable main package, and most of the modules are like this as well. Upstream discontinued, repo archived since 2021. [a] Maintainers of dependent packages have been notified in or before Aug 2023. [a]: https://github.com/dephell/dephell [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-dephell/
