[PRQ#46759] Deletion Request for essential-pathway-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Dec '23

27 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for essential-pathway-git [2]: Upstream development discontinued since 2017. [a] I don't think it is useful to keep this VCS package, which btw doesn't have a pkgver() function.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Dec '23

27 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for wxpython2.8 [2]: This broken legacy Python2 package can be safely deleted, because two of its current AUR consumers have Python3 supporting updates, and 2 other reverse dependencies are discontinued since 8+ years ago and pending deletion.

[PRQ#46567] Deletion Request for mapslicer-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Dec '23

27 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mapslicer-git [2]: Broken, deprecated package. Upstream discontinued since 2016, [a] was developed against the very old GDAL 1.6 (current repo version is 3.7). Also it is based on Python2 and wxgtk2 2.8 - the latter is broken now, all variants of it on AUR fail to build with some cryptic error which so far several knowledgeable maintainers were not able to track down. I recommend deleting this defunct package. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/mapslicer-git/

[PRQ#46587] Deletion Request for freqtweak
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Dec '23

27 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for freqtweak [2]: Broken wxgtk2.8 based package from 2015; for the last release of this tool from 2009. [a] Last comment mentions there is an updated git version which works with newer wxgtk2: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/freqtweak-git So this old package is not needed or useful to keep anymore. [a]: https://sourceforge.net/projects/freqtweak/files/freqtweak/0.7.2/ [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/freqtweak/

[PRQ#46724] Deletion Request for rsound-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Dec '23

26 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for rsound-git [2]: This "simple PCM audio server and client" has not been developed since 2013. [a] I recommend deletion. There are currently maintained solutions for the same and similar purpose. Even PulseAudio and PipeWire support this use case, as well as GStreamer.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Dec '23

26 Dec '23

yochananmarqos [1] filed an orphan request for blue-recorder-git [2]: The Maintainer ignored my advice and has not touched it since last March.
