[PRQ#48951] Deletion Request for automake-1.7
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Feb '24

27 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for automake-1.7 [2]: Nothing on AUR requires this very old automake version from 2003. It is also not a drop-in replacement of repo's automake, so it shouldn't have had the provides=automake field. But it's safe to delete, as there is no evidence of usage by anyone.

[PRQ#49076] Deletion Request for mplayer2
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Feb '24

27 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mplayer2 [2]: Broken EOL media player from 2013, mpv is the successor. This is a badly configured VCS package in disguise, using master.tar.gz instead of a git clone. Last commit of this fork is from 2017. The package is unbuildable.

[PRQ#49027] Deletion Request for pythonbrew
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Feb '24

27 Feb '24

a821 [1] filed a deletion request for pythonbrew [2]: It's been broken package for ages because of missing package() function. No worth fixing or keeping in the AUR either, due to being deprecated by upstream (this has been noted in the comments), who recommends `pyenv` instead.

[PRQ#48773] Deletion Request for bash-xdg
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Feb '24

27 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for bash-xdg [2]: Outdated duplicate of core/bash, with minimal modification. XDG specification support is a fundamental goal of Arch Linux. If a repo package could be enhanced to better respect that spec, one should file an upstream issue and/or an Arch Linux bug with a suggested patch, instead of recreating Arch repo builds on AUR.
