by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 10 Mar '24

10 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for geany-snippets [2]: Abandoned addon pkg for Geany from 2015; sources are very outdated, may not even work with current Geany, and one of the snippet sources was hosted on Dropbox that is now unavailable (404).

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 10 Mar '24

10 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for libreport-git [2]: Broken, abandoned, unused Python2 based VCS package from 2018, with wrong, random pkgver(). Not useful to keep. AUR/libreport is much newer and is in a working state. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/libreport-git/

[PRQ#49436] Deletion Request for lib32-gstreamer0.10-base
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 10 Mar '24

10 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-gstreamer0.10-base [2]: Abandoned, not actually used gstreamer0.10 lib32 library pkg from 2020. It is unbuildable, just like its also several-years-unmaintained native-build counterpart (gstreamer0.10-base). AUR/crossover currently defines this as an optdepend, but its current version can no longer use this. I plan to submit a comment on the latter's AUR page with a suggested PKGBUILD diff, because the current package has many other obsolete (opt)depends as of now, due to upstream changes. Safe to delete this defunct library. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/lib32-gstreamer0.10-base/

[PRQ#49417] Deletion Request for udev-notify
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 10 Mar '24

10 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for udev-notify [2]: VCS package in disguise from 2022. @FabioLolix has pointed this out last year and suggested changes to rectify it, but maintainer just ignored the feedback. Upstream not developed since 2016. [a] Safe to delete; seems no one is using this.

[PRQ#49272] Deletion Request for python-orange-canvas-core-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 10 Mar '24

10 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-orange-canvas-core- git [2]: Abandoned, broken VCS package from 2021. With a pkgver() that does not produce commit/revision specific, monotonically increasing version string, and which also can potentially use a different tag depending on user's global git config (because it just lists all cloned tags and picks the newest, but doesn't use git describe, so it might pick a tag that is only on a different branch but not on master branch). Not useful to keep. Better to delete. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-orange-canvas-core-git/

[PRQ#49278] Merge Request for python-hyperglot
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 09 Mar '24

09 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge python-hyperglot [2] into hyperglot [3]: Eliminating duplication. This is a CLI application as well, so the name should be 'hyperglot', as per Arch Python package guidelines.

[PRQ#49445] Deletion Request for dbus-xdg
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 09 Mar '24

09 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for dbus-xdg [2]: Duplicate of: https://packages.artixlinux.org/details/dbus With wrong provides (e.g. subpackage dbus-xdg-docs declares it provides and conflicts with 'dbus'). Please delete this package. Users should use dbus from their own distro's repo. @noahvogt, please don't submit duplicates or minimal mods of packages that already exist in either Arch Linux repos or derivative distributions' repos. Instead, please submit patches and/or issue tickets to your distro's bug tracking system and/or Git repo.
