[PRQ#49875] Deletion Request for lib32-freeimage
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Apr '24

01 Apr '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-freeimage [2]: This library never seems to have had any consuming bin32/lib32 package to rely on it since 2014. Therefore I recommend deletion. It also does not follow Arch package guidelines like extra/freeimage does in relying on shared libraries; instead, it builds and bundles other libraries inside a static libfreeimageplus.a, like the old version of the following: libraw, openexr, libjpeg, libpng, libtiff4, zlib, openjpeg, libwebp, libjxr. Then it goes on to discard the bundled libfreeimageplus.a file. It seems safe to drop from AUR. No dependents, and last user comment is from 2016.

[PRQ#49494] Deletion Request for kmplayer
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Apr '24

01 Apr '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for kmplayer [2]: Broken media player, last released in 2016. Since that time, its Gitlab repo sees virtually only automated translation bump commits and mass deprecation adjustment commits and CI disablement commits. Officially it only supports xv (X Video Extension) and x11 video drivers, nothing else. It was dropped from repo in 2022, and it has only 1 vote on AUR. It is also broken, just like its unmaintained dependency, kmediaplayer. The latter is discontinued for KF6, so kmplayer also does not have a welcome place on the upcoming KDE Plasma 6 (ETA: Q1 2024). I recommend deletion: it is hardly uniquely useful, there are many alternatives that are much better. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/kmplayer/

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for firmware-tqc-a01 [2]: This is actually an ARM-only firmware package.

[PRQ#50221] Merge Request for coolero
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Apr '24

01 Apr '24

codifryed [1] filed a request to merge coolero [2] into coolercontrol [3]: The Coolero project went through a name and implementation change, into what is now the CoolerControl project. The implementations were drastically different so an upgrade from one to the other was not possible. CoolerControl is now established and there's no need for the Coolero AUR package anymore.
