[PRQ#45795] Deletion Request for darktable-rc
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for darktable-rc [2]: I think this package can be deleted. The project hasn't released any RC (release candidate) versions in close to 3 years. There have only been stable point releases and a major stable release (v3 -> v4). And also there are nightly builds. Arch repo carries a 2.5 years newer stable version than this RC package.

[PRQ#45794] Deletion Request for mitsuba-blender-hg
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mitsuba-blender-hg [2]: Defunct Blender 2.5 addon, doesn't work, as Blender 2.5 does not exist anymore, and even the AUR package of Blender 2.93 fails to build. Also package name is wrong: PKGBUILD uses a GitHub Git repo as source. Development discontinued since 2015.

[PRQ#45790] Deletion Request for python-jsonschema26
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-jsonschema26 [2]: Abandoned legacy package from 2019. Doesn't build since 2020. But it seems no AUR package specifically requires this. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-jsonschema26/

[PRQ#45780] Deletion Request for ruby-jwt-2.1
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ruby-jwt-2.1 [2]: Unneeded orphan legacy package. I have verified that all of its four AUR consumers accept and are compatible with Arch repo's current, newer ruby-jwt.

[PRQ#45774] Deletion Request for idle-python3.7-assets
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for idle-python3.7-assets [2]: Unmaintained addon to IDLE developer tool from 2018. Not needed, as Python 3.7 is EOL. Any developer who touches code written for Python 3.7 should test it with newer Python, and if needed, fix it to ensure compatibility.

[PRQ#45773] Deletion Request for lib32-lensfun
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-lensfun [2]: Unneeded orphan lib32 package. Formerly lib32-gimp depended on it via lib32-gegl. But that gimp package is headless, and is only used by some legacy scanner (/printer?) drivers. Which don't require photographic lens distortion correction. (Also this addon would need a GUI to be useful.) Arch repo carries the 64-bit variant for GIMP. No one needs to use an out-of-repo bin32 build of the latter, so this package is no longer useful to keep.

[PRQ#45772] Deletion Request for lib32-imath
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-imath [2]: This is an add-on library to lib32-openexr, which is now an orphan, and nothing depends on that. And the OpenEXR high-dynamic-range photography format is too new for any legacy, closed-source bin32-only application to use it. So I don't think there is any benefit in keeping this around. Submitted lib32-openexr for deletion as well (PRQ#45771). [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/lib32-imath/

[PRQ#45769] Deletion Request for yujmo_libfreenect2
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for yujmo_libfreenect2 [2]: This fork of libfreenect2 has been abandoned since 2018 [a], and is two years older than upstream. [b] Package doesn't set its provides and conflicts, so nothing depends on it. Safe to delete.
