[PRQ#50311] Deletion Request for gnupg23
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Jan '24

21 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gnupg23 [2]: EOL since 2022-12, as v2.3 was not an LTS release. Also pkgname does not conform to Arch package guidelines that call for attaching only the major version number to the name (otherwise one should add dots, for e.g. 'gnupg-2.3'). Safe to delete this unsafe, unneeded package. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/gnupg23/

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

21 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for linux-libexplain51 [2]: This package violates AUR submission guidelines by using a binary release of an open-source library without having a '-bin' suffixed pkgname.

[PRQ#46895] Deletion Request for linux-explain-bin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Jan '24

21 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for linux-explain-bin [2]: This PKGBUILD puts the extracted tarball files directly inside the package without setting their ownership and access attributes properly. It seems no one is using this apart from the submitter. This application and its library is also last released in 2014 and seems not maintained anymore. Its dependency is also a foreign binary built in 2014. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/linux-explain-bin/

[PRQ#46887] Deletion Request for python-numpy1.22
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Jan '24

21 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-numpy1.22 [2]: Unmaintained legacy package, uploaded on 2022-07-23 and never changed. It is broken since Python 3.11, because it hardcodes Python 3.10 during testing. The build warns that Python 3.11 is not supported. Then, it fails, because the current Cython version is also unsupported. Nothing on AUR depends on this package. And it is not useful to keep, as it conflicts with the current python- numpy. Safe to delete, no impact on other users. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-numpy1.22/

[PRQ#46870] Deletion Request for rapidsvn
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Jan '24

21 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for rapidsvn [2]: Package broken since at least 2022-07 as per a comment from a user. PKGBUILD last changed in 2021. Maintainer disregarded that breakage report from last year, but more recently expressed unwillingness to fix the package, in reaction to my suggested solution in comment I made in 2023-06. Upstream's last versioned release is from 2012. Since that time, development has been migrated from its legacy Subversion repo to a new Git-based one. [a] Last git commit is from 2021, but there are no tagged versions in there. Not useful to keep this package as defunct as is. There are good and currently supported alternative GUI fronteds that work well with Subversion repos.
