[PRQ#45900] Merge Request for surfshark-gui-bin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

precrisk [1] filed a request to merge surfshark-gui-bin [2] into surfshark-client [3]: Both the scripts are wrapper around surfshark gui client's deb installer and practically does the same thing.

[PRQ#45891] Deletion Request for seexpr-qt5
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for seexpr-qt5 [2]: Broken Python2 based old fork of seexpr, VCS package in disguise, but source development stopped since 2019. [a] Actually it is likely that this work has been upstreamed, because that code is using Qt5 as well, but it is also currently maintained, and uses Python3. [b] There is an AUR package for the latter. [c] No need to keep this defunct one. [a]: https://github.com/fu5ha/SeExpr/tree/appleseed-qt5 [b]: https://github.com/wdas/SeExpr [c]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/seexpr [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/seexpr-qt5/

[PRQ#45890] Deletion Request for pyqt3
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for pyqt3 [2]: Broken Python2 Qt3 bindings, not needed. Only the broken 'kodos' package depends on it, which is a devtool for RegEx; there are many alternatives so I submitted that for deletion (PRQ#45887).

yochananmarqos [1] filed a deletion request for python-pyfakewebcam- git [2]: Upstream repo no longer exists.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for kodos [2]: Broken orphan Qt3 based application from 2016. Not useful to keep. There are many RegEx developer tools available. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/kodos/

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ros2-galactic-xacro [2]: VCS package in disguise from 2021, but not needed: The ROS 2 Galactic distribution is EOL since 2022-12-09. [a] Their CI system won't ever build new releases of any applications like this, and the last (frozen) version is available from their binary repo. Users are encouraged to migrate to a newer distribution.

[PRQ#45882] Deletion Request for bootstrap5
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for bootstrap5 [2]: One-time effort orphan package from 2021, for the Bootstrap JavaScript front-end library. Current pkgver is for a beta release. It is not useful to have this on AUR. As this should be delivered to the web browser client by a server backend, and the packaging method depends on which web backend server framework is used.

[PRQ#45880] Deletion Request for rtl8814au-morrownr-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for rtl8814au-morrownr-git [2]: This package was submitted in 2022, with a wrong name. As this is a dkms module, should have '-dkms' in its pkgname. But there's already a correct AUR package for this, since 2017: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtl8814au-dkms-git (The latter also packages the driver maintained by the developer called 'morrownr'.) Please delete this unneeded duplicate. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/rtl8814au-morrownr-git/
