[PRQ#48677] Merge Request for chirp-hg
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Feb '24

27 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge chirp-hg [2] into chirp-next [3]: The '-hg' packages are long defunct, as upstream has migrated to GitHub. But also those legacy packages are abandoned and unmaintained. There's no '-git' package, but 'chirp-next' is essentially equivalent, providing frequent snapshot updates. I mentioned this recommendation to users in a comment.

[PRQ#48673] Deletion Request for openatrium
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Feb '24

27 Feb '24

a821 [1] filed a deletion request for openatrium [2]: Abandoned package. It's been out of date since 2016 and also broken due to missing the package() function. Upstream support ended on 31.10.22 (https://www.drupal.org/project/openatrium). [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/a821/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/openatrium/

[PRQ#48672] Deletion Request for prosepoint
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Feb '24

27 Feb '24

a821 [1] filed a deletion request for prosepoint [2]: Abandoned package. Last upstream version (0.46) was released in 2013 [3]. Seems like it was imported outdated from AUR-3, never to be changed (0.32 was released in 2010 [4]). Safe to delete. [3] https://launchpad.net/prosepoint/+announcement/11076 [4] https://launchpad.net/prosepoint/trunk/0.32 [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/a821/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/prosepoint/

[PRQ#48539] Deletion Request for cura-5-modern-beta-bin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Feb '24

27 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for cura-5-modern-beta-bin [2]: This is currently the same version, 5.4.0, as the stable cura-bin. If needed, please resubmit later without the pinned major version 5 in the name: cura-modern-beta-bin. (There is no point in pinning the major version number in the beta package name. Also, upstream does not maintain parallel major releases.) [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/cura-5-modern-beta-bin/

[PRQ#48670] Deletion Request for netvirt-agent-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Feb '24

27 Feb '24

a821 [1] filed a deletion request for netvirt-agent-git [2]: Flag message and last comment from maintainer in 2020 say that this service is dead. Upstream's homepage is 404. The PKGBUILD is in bad shape (notably uses sudo in package()). Better delete. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/a821/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/netvirt-agent-git/

[PRQ#48668] Deletion Request for tsld_brute
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Feb '24

27 Feb '24

a821 [1] filed a deletion request for tsld_brute [2]: Abandoned one-time-effort package from 2020. No votes and the single comment points out that the PKGBUILD should not use `sudo` (besides other issues). Upstream has only two commits in 2020. Doesn't seem like this is useful.

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

27 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for emacs-git-noway-widgets [2]: VCS package with a wrong name. Please resubmit with a name where the '-git' suffix is an actual suffix, i.e. it is the very last part of the name.
