[PRQ#48345] Deletion Request for perl-extutils-depends-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Feb '24

26 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for perl-extutils-depends-git [2]: This module is developed quite infrequently [a], and at the moment it is exact the same version as repo's perl-extutils-depends, from 2021. Also the current pkgdesc is bogus: "disables multidimensional array emulation". I propose to delete this package. Repo's stable build should be enough to keep.

[PRQ#49537] Deletion Request for bin32-firefox
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Feb '24

26 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for bin32-firefox [2]: Seems this package is not much used anymore, and not very actively maintained, so maybe it's best to delete it. It is still on v116.0.3 as of now, whereas upstream is already on v119.0. Also this package is for a foreign binary build, so it has a wrong pkgname (should have been bin32-firefox-bin). Last user comment apart from mine is from 2020. I don't see a point for end-users to run a 32-bit browser on a 64-bit system. It is unnecessarily memory-constrained, but apart from that, there's no difference. On the other hand, the native-built Firefox is very tame when it comes to RAM usage, and it can be tweaked further to minimize the memory footprint, if that's what one's use case calls for. ArchLinux32 repo's Firefox is outdated as of now, but the currently latest stable v119.0 i686 and pentium4 builds seem to be in the pipeline, after dropping the i486 build. But this package is not useful at all for ArchLinux32. There is a firefox-bin PKGBUILD on AUR, so ArchLinux32 users could ask its maintainers to just add upstream's 32-bit build if they wanted to. So far, it hasn't happened. AUR submission guidelines state that packages kept here must be useful to more than a few people. I don't see this one hitting that particular bar anymore - hence this deletion proposal. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/bin32-firefox/
