[PRQ#51836] Orphan Request for dolphin-emu-primehack-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Dec '23

26 Dec '23

Perisys1312 [1] filed an orphan request for dolphin-emu-primehack-git [2]: Building is unsuccessful and the maintainer all but abandoned the package. It needs to be altered to clone from the new default repository, primehack-master, as attempts to build from master, its now-historical branch, prove unsuccessful, thanks to an issue fixed in an upstream version of dolphin.

[PRQ#51838] Orphan Request for python-mbstrdecoder
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Dec '23

26 Dec '23

rien333 [1] filed an orphan request for python-mbstrdecoder [2]: Maintainer has not been responding for 10-ish months, and since this is a dependency of other packages, something ought to be done.

[PRQ#46611] Deletion Request for audacious2
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Dec '23

26 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for audacious2 [2]: Unmaintained old Audacious 3.2 package from 2016. Repo carries the current Audacious 4.3.1, built with Qt5 atm. AUR also has the same version of audacious-gtk3. This package is built with gtk2, which the project still seems to support, but the package name here is misleading. It suggests as if this was for Audacious 2.x rather than its current 3.2. I recommend deletion. Last comment is from 2016. If still needed, an updated PKGBUILD could be submitted any time, but that should have the pkgname audacious-gtk2 to align with the other variant on AUR. This is not a GNOME project where it was customary to attach "2" at the end of the package name for gtk2 builds.

[PRQ#46612] Deletion Request for audacious2-plugins
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Dec '23

26 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for audacious2-plugins [2]: Unmaintained old, broken Audacious 3.2 plugins package from 2015. Repo carries the current Audacious 4.3.1 and its plugins, built with Qt5 atm. AUR also has the same version of audacious-plugins-gtk3. This package is built with gtk2, which the project still seems to support, but the package name here is misleading. It suggests as if this was for Audacious 2.x rather than its current 3.2. There is a missing dependency since 2023-06, which the owner did not address. I recommend deletion. Last comment is from 2019, in which a user requested a dependency change to align with repo's jack2, but nothing happened. If still needed, an updated PKGBUILD could be submitted any time, but that should have the pkgname audacious-plugins-gtk2 to align with the other variant on AUR. This is not a GNOME project where it was customary to attach "2" at the end of the package name for gtk2 builds.

[PRQ#46630] Deletion Request for python-serpent-ai-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Dec '23

26 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-serpent-ai-git [2]: Broken, unmaintained VCS package from 2019. Development of this fork has discontinued since 2020, [a] and in its upstream repo as well - the latter is also archived. [b] Package is broken since at least 2022-03 but owner did not attend to it. So now it seems safe to recommend deletion.

[PRQ#46685] Deletion Request for pybliographer
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Dec '23

26 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for pybliographer [2]: Broken package from 2016; flagged OOD since 2018. Based on Python3, but depends on the Python2 library wrongly called python-bibtex. Two other (gnome2 based) dependencies also fail to build. Safe to delete this package; there are functioning alternatives.

[PRQ#46726] Deletion Request for animewatch-pyqt5
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Dec '23

26 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for animewatch-pyqt5 [2]: Orphan leftover package from 2017; not useful to keep. Upstream discontinued since that year, repo archived since 2018. [a] Project README recommends people to use kawaii-player, which can even import the configuration settings of this legacy application. There are maintained stable and VCS packages for that successor on AUR.
