by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 06 Feb '24

06 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for atlassian-jira [2]: Abandoned, outdated server application pkg from 2022-11; not useful to keep on AUR without anyone maintaining it.

[PRQ#47892] Deletion Request for pigz-gzip-symlink
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Feb '24

05 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for pigz-gzip-symlink [2]: This is a problematic package. Replaces gzip, which is part of Arch base, meaning that the latter *should* be a part of every Arch install. Uses mkdir inside package() instead of install. Uses an embedded $(which pigz) and $(which unpigz) when creating symlinks, to find the defined pigz executable in the runtime environment, which means it will potentially create and install a symlink in /usr/bin that points to an arbitrary location, and also can lead to a different result in a clean chroot environment, a custom chroot environment, and user's own runtime environment when built with makepkg.

[PRQ#47891] Deletion Request for gzip-with-pigz-symlinks
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Feb '24

05 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gzip-with-pigz-symlinks [2]: Abandoned, outdated package from 2020. Unnecessarily builds and installs gzip, but then deletes the gzip executable and replaces it with a symlink to pigz, referring to the latter without path. gzip is part of Arch base and base-devel, so it should not be replaced with something else.

[PRQ#49162] Deletion Request for esphomeyaml-dev
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Feb '24

05 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for esphomeyaml-dev [2]: Submitted on 2022-06-26 and never updated. Not useful to keep as is. The stable AUR/esphome is much newer: updated two weeks ago as of this writing. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/esphomeyaml-dev/

[PRQ#49578] Deletion Request for python-yaml-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Feb '24

05 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-yaml-git [2]: Abandoned, broken VCS package. Uploaded on 2021-10-26 and never touched again, even though there have been Arch repo packaging changes and upstream changes. Better to delete: 0 votes/comments, flagged OOD by me in Aug 2023, maintainer is unresponsive. Repo's python-yaml is up-to-date and seems it's enough for users.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Feb '24

04 Feb '24

Such package should be resubmitted under the name 'salawat-bin'. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/salawat/

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Feb '24

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Feb '24

04 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for swaymsg-root [2]: Unneeded package from 2019, upstream repo gone (404 not found).
