[PRQ#46914] Deletion Request for php-legacy-symlinks
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Jan '24

21 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for php-legacy-symlinks [2]: This shim package is not useful. If there is a package that is not compatible yet with repo's PHP, that one package has to be changed or patched to depend on php-legacy or an older, version-specific php package from AUR, instead of globally force-symlinking every package that depends on repo's php to use php-legacy instead.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 20 Jan '24

20 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for openvpn-xor-git [2]: Non-VCS package, and older than repo's openvpn. Not useful to keep. To thwart the People's Republic of China's anti- privacy and anti-security monitoring measures, more robust solutions are needed, like one of the enhanced shadowsocks or clash tunneling clients.
