[PRQ#49770] Merge Request for msquic-release-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Mar '24

21 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge msquic-release-git [2] into msquic-git [3]: I think it's not really useful to keep a "release" branch VCS package, since almost all of the time, its source is the same as the last release tag. Upstream seems to be very quick in releasing important patches for their stable line, in the form of minor point version bumps.

[PRQ#49769] Merge Request for msquic-prerelease
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Mar '24

21 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge msquic-prerelease [2] into msquic-git [3]: It's pointless to keep a prerelease package, since this is for v1.9.0 from October 2022. The last stable release, v2.2.4 is from October 2023, and is therefore 1 year newer than the last prerelease commit. Upstream seems to no longer create prerelease tags. People who wish to test-drive the latest development code should install msquic-git.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Mar '24

21 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge msquic-prerelease-git [2] into msquic-git [3]: It's pointless to keep a "prerelease" branch package, since the newest of them is for v1.9 and is discontinued since May 2022. The last stable release, v2.2.4 is from October 2023, and is therefore 1.5 years newer than the last prerelease commit.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Mar '24

21 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for libp11-static [2]: Unneeded duplicate of extra/libp11 with static libs added. No AUR package requires this. Please delete it.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Mar '24

21 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for spotrec [2]: Broken, unused Python based Spotify ripper pkg from 2021. Last AUR comment is from same year. Upstream not developed for the last 2 years, and maintainer doesn't respond to outstanding issues. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/spotrec/

[PRQ#49485] Deletion Request for adapta-gtk-theme-wal
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Mar '24

21 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for adapta-gtk-theme-wal [2]: Unused, abandoned package from 2018; minimally modded variant of repo's adapta-gtk-theme. (pkgdesc is a copy of that of repo package, so it doesn't clarify the purpose of this pkg. Inside the build function, it just hard-codes some colors). Maintainer unresponsive - there was one user comment, posing a question, in 2020. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/adapta-gtk-theme-wal/

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Mar '24

21 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for rpw [2]: This Minecraft resource pack editor had its last stable release in 2017, and got discontinued since 2018. It has many reported, unresolved issues , and it doesn't support Resource Pack format 4+. [a] The GitHub project is archived since 2018. [a] It doesn't seem useful to keep this on AUR, so I recommend deletion.

[PRQ#49694] Deletion Request for python2-pyttsx
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 20 Mar '24

20 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-pyttsx [2]: Unused Python2 package, last released in 2012. [a] It's a frontend for espeak, whose espeak-ng fork is in repo. But this package even fails to link to that. It is not useful to keep on AUR. There are many alternatives, and even this module has many newer forks on PyPI. [b] [a]: https://pypi.org/project/pyttsx/ [b]: https://pypi.org/search/?q=pyttsx [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python2-pyttsx/
