[PRQ#47977] Deletion Request for perl-extutils-parsexs
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 28 Jan '24

28 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for perl-extutils-parsexs [2]: Arch [core] repo's perl 5.38.0-1 (upstream release: 2023-07-03) includes and provides the latest version of this module, 3.51. No need to keep this separate, currently older versioned package. At the moment this uses upstream's 3.44 (2022-01-06) tarball, plus Fedora's off-CPAN diff patch for 3.45, acquired from Perl's 5.36.0 (2022-05-28) tarball. The Fedora patch is no longer available (404 not found). So this package has been broken for some time - but no one notified the maintainer. It is clear at this point that Perl ships the latest version of this module first, or sometimes the Perl tar is the only published source for it. (2 months after Perl 5.38.0's parsexs 3.51, MetaCPAN also got this same release.) Not useful to keep this package, and also it is contrary to AUR submission guidelines of no duplication.

[PRQ#47918] Deletion Request for libkipi
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 28 Jan '24

28 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for libkipi [2]: gwenview and spectacle stopped using libkipi since KDE Gear release 22.04.0. [a] That's why Arch dropped this package in April 2022 to AUR, as from then on, no KDE Gear app is able to use this library. It is pointless to keep it.

[PRQ#47875] Deletion Request for dhcpcd8
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 28 Jan '24

28 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for dhcpcd8 [2]: I recommend to delete this legacy dhcpcd v8 package, originally submitted in 2021. As nothing on AUR depends on it anymore, and it conflicts with repo's dhcpcd (v10). [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/dhcpcd8/

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 28 Jan '24

28 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for dhcpcd8-git [2]: dhcpcd v8 is EOL, and is not developed since Apr 2022. [a] So it seems to me that this VCS package is not useful to keep anymore.
