[PRQ#45139] Deletion Request for qwinos-qtile-dracula
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Oct '23

02 Oct '23

a821 [1] filed a deletion request for qwinos-qtile-dracula [2]: PKGBUILD is utterly broken and worst, it's a security nightmare. The issue is that build() calls `sudo` on a script that calls `pacman` to install packages and also calls `pip install` with root rights. And in addition, the package() function is empty, so the resulting package is empty. This was noted last December, the maintainer promised to fix it last April but has not yet done so. I strongly recommend deletion. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/a821/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/qwinos-qtile-dracula/

[PRQ#45128] Deletion Request for perl-www-aur
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Oct '23

02 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for perl-www-aur [2]: This AURweb Perl bindings module has not been developed since 2016 and is broken. Only some also-broken and abandoned wrapper scripts depend on it, so it's safe to delete. (I've submitted separate deletion requests for the consuming scripts as well.)

[PRQ#45127] Deletion Request for checkupdates+aur
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Oct '23

02 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for checkupdates+aur [2]: This script from 2016 relies on Perl bindings for AURweb that have been abandoned since same year and are broken now. There's a functionally equivalent minimal wrapper script that uses up- to-date helper tools: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/checkupdates-with-aur It's best to delete this defunct package.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Oct '23

02 Oct '23

a821 [1] filed a deletion request for ruby-typhoeus-0.6 [2]: Orphan and old ruby library not required by anything. The stable (unpinned) version exists (ruby-typhoeus). No need to keep this around. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/a821/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/ruby-typhoeus-0.6/

[PRQ#45122] Deletion Request for keyviz-deb
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Oct '23

02 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for keyviz-deb [2]: This application seems useful, but please delete this brand new package and resubmit under a rule-conforming name: keyviz-bin Declaring '-deb' is generally superfluous, but a '-bin' ending is required for pre-compiled packages. Please kindly review the AUR submission guidelines on package naming. [a] Also please note that, in general, it is not useful to create two separate binary-sourced packages for the same software. I see that your other related AUR package, keyviz, uses another binary archive (a zip), not a deb file. Please change that package to build from source code. Thank you for your cooperation, and for sharing packages for the community's benefit. Cheers, Marcell (MarsSeed) [a]: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_submission_guidelines [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/keyviz-deb/

[PRQ#45120] Deletion Request for python-aur
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-aur [2]: Deprecated, unneeded Python module: - last released in 2015, [a] - development discontinued since 2017, [b] - its only AUR dependent (ahriman-git) no longer requires it (notified maintainer). Better to delete this package. [a]: https://pypi.org/project/aur/ [b]: https://github.com/cdown/aur [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-aur/

[PRQ#45119] Deletion Request for template-for-java-cli-app-github-integrated-aur
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Oct '23

02 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for template-for-java-cli-app- github-integrated-aur [2]: Empty skeleton project template, not a real application. Upstream URL is 404, and the defined source points to a different repo from same author. Not useful to keep on AUR. A project template should be downloaded directly, imported to the IDE, and customized. Not built as an empty application and installed on the system.
