[PRQ#49394] Deletion Request for reaktoro-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 28 Feb '24

28 Feb '24

a821 [1] filed a deletion request for reaktoro-git [2]: One time effort from 2018. No votes. No reverse depends. The PKGBUILD needs serious updates to comply with current VCS guidelines. Moreover, it's broken due to missing deps as reported by its single comment. I recommend deletion as this is a niche academic framework which no one is interested in maintaining. Keeping it broken in the AUR makes no sense. (upstream is active, so it could be revived if needed). [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/a821/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/reaktoro-git/

[PRQ#49695] Deletion Request for python-pyttsx
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 28 Feb '24

28 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-pyttsx [2]: Unused Python package, uploaded in 2018. Last upstream release was in 2012. [a] It's a frontend for espeak, whose official espeak-ng drop-in continuation fork is in repo. But this package even fails to link to that. It is not useful to keep on AUR. There are many alternatives, and even this module has several newer forks on PyPI (latest maintained one is pyttsx4).

[PRQ#49430] Deletion Request for gsoap287
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 28 Feb '24

28 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gsoap287 [2]: Abandoned, unused legacy package from 2015, with a name that does not conform to Arch package guidelines requiring only the major version number to be attached, when needed, as a suffix to pkgver (other proper Arch practice is to use dots). This PKGBUILD was for gsoap v2.8.7, not v287. The package also states it provides and conflicts with repo's gsoap, so it also violates AUR submission guidelines saying that same or different version builds of repo packages (implying such packages that cannot coexist with the repo build) should not be kept on AUR. Safe to delete: all AUR consumers actually need repo's gsoap, not this old version. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/gsoap287/

[PRQ#49793] Deletion Request for garchdeps-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 28 Feb '24

28 Feb '24

a821 [1] filed a deletion request for garchdeps-git [2]: Orphan, one vote, no comments. Last upstream commit was in 2013. Broken because this is a `python2` script (though it "depends" on `python`) and because of the deprecated git:// protocol. It doesn't seem to be useful so I suggest deletion.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 28 Feb '24

28 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for qt-dab-git [2]: Abandoned, broken VCS package from 2017. Last comment is from 2019. It doesn't seem like anyone is interested in maintaining it. Therefore I recommend deletion. AUR has a maintained stable package for the latest release (Oct 2023 as of now).
