[PRQ#50605] Deletion Request for ocempgui
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 29 Jan '24

29 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ocempgui [2]: Unused, discontinued, relatively rudimentary Python2 PyGame GUI development tool from 2008. I don't think it's needed or beneficial to keep. There are newer, more enhanced alternatives that also work with Python3. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/ocempgui/

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 29 Jan '24

29 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for libappindicator-sharp [2]: Unused, abandoned Gtk2 desktop notification icon support library for C# apps. Upstream development stopped since 3 years ago.

[PRQ#49463] Deletion Request for libappindicator-bzr
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 29 Jan '24

29 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for libappindicator-bzr [2]: Upstream development discontinued since 3 years ago (2020). [a] Therefore this VCS package is on the exact same commit version, which means it's a duplicate of extra repo's libappindicator-gtk3.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 29 Jan '24

29 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for cage-no-xwayland [2]: xwayland is optional for extra repo's cage, so there is absolutely no need to keep this package which doesn't even define its mandatory provides and conflicts.

[PRQ#47968] Deletion Request for python-spython
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 29 Jan '24

29 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-spython [2]: This abandoned, broken package was used earlier as a library for python-sregistry. That had been abandoned since 2020, so it got deleted recently (PRQ#47946). I reckon it is better to delete this as well. Reasons for it: * name is wrong - does not follow Python package guidelines: this is a Python CLI application too, so the name should have been 'spython'. * The comment from 2021 cited test failures, to which former maintainer reacted by disabling all tests. * Orphan. * Last updated in 2022-07. * There's only one comment, and it's from 2021. * Outdated, but no one even flagged this. Better to leave users to install the latest working version from somewhere else, like PyPI. Or if anyone wants to maintain it on AUR, they should submit it as 'spython', not under the current name.

[PRQ#47909] Deletion Request for quiterss-qt4
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 29 Jan '24

29 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for quiterss-qt4 [2]: I think it is not useful to keep this legacy Qt4 package from 2018, when there are newer versioned QuiteRSS packages on AUR, and those are based on Qt5.

[PRQ#47907] Deletion Request for mediadownloader
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 29 Jan '24

29 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mediadownloader [2]: Broken, defunct Qt4 based YouTube viewer/downloader package from 2017; upstream's last release was in 2013. [a] Better to delete. There are maintained and working alternatives. [a]: https://sourceforge.net/projects/googleimagedown/files/project/1.5.2/ [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/mediadownloader/
