a821 [1] filed a deletion request for luna-manager [2]: Suspicious package, it downloads a binary from amazon S3. The homepage redirects to other site (maybe it was renamed but I cannot verify). [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/a821/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/luna-manager/

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Feb '24

27 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mindfulness-at-the-computer [2]: Abandoned, unused, broken alpha package from 2020. Not useful to keep as is, and it seems no one is interested in maintaining it. Newer beta version can be installed from PyPI.

[PRQ#48697] Deletion Request for greeklayoutwithdotonnumpad
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Feb '24

27 Feb '24

a821 [1] filed a deletion request for greeklayoutwithdotonnumpad [2]: This PKGBUILD does not create a package. Instead, it's a horrible hack that uses sudo to patch a file provided by 'extra/xkeyboard-config'.

[PRQ#48693] Deletion Request for ucutag-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Feb '24

27 Feb '24

a821 [1] filed a deletion request for ucutag-git [2]: This software was created as an university course project. Development stopped just after submission to the AUR. It doesn't fulfill the usefulness criteria of the guidelines IMHO. The PKGBUILD does not follow the guidelines (cloning in build(), sudo in package()), which was pointed out a year ago and never fixed.

[PRQ#48692] Deletion Request for firefoxext
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Feb '24

27 Feb '24

a821 [1] filed a deletion request for firefoxext [2]: There are issues in the PKGBUILD pointed in the comments (notably sudo in package()) that have not been fixed in more than a year. Maintainer is upstream and development stopped a little after the AUR submission (Mar-2022). There are no votes and nothing requires this. It doesn't seem this is useful.

[PRQ#48690] Deletion Request for stallman
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Feb '24

27 Feb '24

a821 [1] filed a deletion request for stallman [2]: One time effort from 2020. PKGBUILD uses sudo in package which was pointed out about a year ago and has been never fixed. I would also argue that this program could potentially break your system because it removes "non-free" packages: it uses "sudo pacman -R" in its source code. The non-free list is taken from parabola linux, so if someone is really concerned with non-free software, I would recommend to just use parabola directly. IMHO this script is useless in arch due to arch not caring about free/non-free philosophy. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/a821/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/stallman/
