[PRQ#47432] Deletion Request for mpv-build-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 11 Feb '24

11 Feb '24

mackel [1] filed a deletion request for mpv-build-git [2]: I remove the patch and build file works fine.So I think it is no need to add in PKGBUILD file. But when I use PKG included patch,the file doesn't work. ``` patching file libavformat/vapoursynth.c Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected! Assume -R? [n] n Apply anyway?

[PRQ#47423] Deletion Request for uctags-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 11 Feb '24

11 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for uctags-git [2]: Unneeded duplicate of AUR/ctags-git, with misleading name and missing the declaration of some dependencies. Its pkgdesc remark that says it is "patched to allow installing alongside original ctag" is not true at all. Not just because it declares it conflicts with ctags, but also because the executable files get installed under the same name in /usr/bin as done by extra/ctags and AUR/ctags-git. Also there isn't any patch included in the PKGBUILD. Upstream's application and repo name is ctags, not uctags.

[PRQ#47419] Deletion Request for cherrytree-bin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 11 Feb '24

11 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for cherrytree-bin [2]: This is a badly maintained package. Earler, owner updated it to 1.0.0 without adjusting the dependencies accordingly. I left a detailed feedback in a comment, listing all the needed changes, backing it up with the output of a namcap analysis. Then, instead of fixing the dependencies, owner just downgraded the package to 0.99.37 without bumping the epoch. In addition, owner chose to make the PKGBUILD extract the tarball directly into the $pkgdir, keeping the upstream files' ownership and access attributes. I don't think it is useful to keep this on AUR. Arch maintainers competently take care of the package for this in extra repo, which is on the latest upstream version (not even 1.0.0 but 1.0.1 as of now, released on August 25th, 2023).
