by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 10 Feb '24

10 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for darktable-cr3-git [2]: As per last comment made in 2022 mentions, this pkg is now the same as AUR/darktable-git, since cr3 support had been upstreamed earlier.

[PRQ#47641] Deletion Request for gitetc
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 10 Feb '24

10 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gitetc [2]: Abandoned package from 2016, upstream not developed since that year. It is not only badly packaged, missing several runtime dependencies, but also the source scripts are potentially dangerous: They invoke pacman (undeclared dependency) with sudo (undeclared dependency), and supress the CLI error output while executing commands with sudo. Also those scripts are very amateurish and rudimentary. They run git commands the most basic way. Many such commands are meant for interactive use, not scripting. And there is absolutely zero error / exception handling in those scripts, so they won't be able to react to any unexpected git output or error condition. I recommend deletion. There are better alternatives for versioning / snapshotting / backing up one's system configuration. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/gitetc/

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 09 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lazylpsolverlibs-git [2]: Abandoned VCS package from 2015. With "random", non-monotonic pkgver(). Upstream not maintained since 2012.
