[PRQ#45767] Deletion Request for openni2-libfreenect
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for openni2-libfreenect [2]: Abandoned package from 2016, broken as per last comment from that year. This is also a half-VCS package: it bundles two packages in one: libfreenect (VCS) and openni2 (last version from 2014 which needs patches to compile). I recommend deletion, there is no need to keep this one: AUR still has maintained libfreenect{,-} and openni2{,-git} packages.

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

04 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for jadx-bin [2]: Unneeded, unmaintained OOD duplicate of repo's jadx. This is a Java application for any architecture, so the AUR package cannot possibly provide this for more platforms than the one already in [extra].

[PRQ#49629] Deletion Request for pngzop
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for pngzop [2]: This experimental addon to the pngcrush PNG compression optimizer tool has been abandoned by upstream since 2013, and it didn't get incorporated into the main pngcrush executable, which has seen continued development. I recommend deletion. It is not something that is needed by AUR users. Repo carries the main pngcrush optimizer.

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

04 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for zulu-20-bin [2]: Cleanup of JDK 20 short-term support packages. Azul Zulu JDK 20 has reached EOL in September 2023. From then on, Azul only provides paid 'extended support' "to advise and assist users to migrate to a newer JDK version". There's already a 'zulu-21-bin' package on AUR, while 'zulu-20-bin' is abandoned as of now. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/zulu-20-bin/
