[PRQ#46035] Deletion Request for perl-extutils-cbuilder
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 16 Nov '23

16 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for perl-extutils-cbuilder [2]: No need to keep this package. It is already vendored-in and provided by repo's perl package. Last upstream update was in 2021. It is not likely that the separate Perl pod would receive much updates outside of the upstream Perl releases.

[PRQ#46034] Deletion Request for lib32-vo-aacenc
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 16 Nov '23

16 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-vo-aacenc [2]: Unused 32-bit library from 2018 of this newer implementation of AAC encoder. Nothing depends on it, and it is unlikely that any extra-AUR bin32-only software would need it, as it it too new for those.

[PRQ#46028] Deletion Request for sip-65
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 16 Nov '23

16 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for sip-65 [2]: Seems not needed anymore. Was submitted in 2022-05, at a time when repo's sip 6.6.x was having a lot of regressions, with which the Arch devs were struggling, trying everything they can to solve those. But it seem the current sip 6.7+ line in repo is very stable and reliable. There is nothing in AUR that explicitly needs SIP 6.5, and SIP 6.7+ should be adequate now.

[PRQ#46026] Deletion Request for python-poppler-qt5-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 16 Nov '23

16 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-poppler-qt5-git [2]: Abandoned orphan VCS package from 2021; still uses the deprecated sip4 dependency. Repo carries the latest stable, so I recommend deletion. Seems there is no interest anymore in this: 1 vote, and last comment is from 2019.

[PRQ#46023] Deletion Request for fltk-mod
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 16 Nov '23

16 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for fltk-mod [2]: Duplicate of repo's fltk, VCS package in disguise without a pkgver() function, and hard-configures the previous ABI version. Not useful to keep. Also the '-mod' name suffix is meaningless here. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/fltk-mod/

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 16 Nov '23

16 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for sabnzbd-desktop [2]: Orphan desktop files, seem not needed, since same maintainer who disowned this still maintains the sabnzbd package. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/sabnzbd-desktop/

[PRQ#46020] Deletion Request for watcher3
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 16 Nov '23

16 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for watcher3 [2]: VCS package in disguise from 2018, broken for at least 18+ months. Upstream development discontinued since the mentioned year. [a] No need to keep this: there are many working alternatives.
