[PRQ#50828] Deletion Request for gnome-do
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 22 Dec '23

22 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gnome-do [2]: Discontinued GNOME2/Gtk2 based desktop search widget from 2014. Has many unneeded *-sharp dependencies defined, but none of them are actually needed. I recommend deletion: GNOME includes a nice desktop search module by default nowadays (and other mainstream graphical DE's do so as well).

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 22 Dec '23

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 22 Dec '23

22 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for hdf5-mpich [2]: Orphan legacy HDF5 version from 2020. Nothing depends on it. Not useful to keep. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/hdf5-mpich/

[PRQ#46595] Deletion Request for gnu-netcat-svn
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 22 Dec '23

22 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gnu-netcat-svn [2]: Unneeded developmental VCS package, since gnu-netcat's Subversion repo has not been updated since 2013 [a], and the project is dead and unsupported. [b] Arch repo carries the latest stable release of gnu-netcat. If applicable, please consider submitting an Arch ticket to update that repo package with some or all of the (few) unreleased patches from upstream. Otherwise, it is advisable for people to use the much newer and actively maintained openbsd-netcat implementation, built from Debian's repackage of it in Arch repo. [a]: https://sourceforge.net/p/netcat/code/HEAD/tree/ [b]: https://sourceforge.net/p/netcat/support-requests/6/ [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/gnu-netcat-svn/

[PRQ#46472] Deletion Request for advanced-rest-client-appimage
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 22 Dec '23

22 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for advanced-rest-client- appimage [2]: This new package is an orphan now, but it is also superfluous on AUR. As there is already a binary based package, currently named advanced- rest-client, carrying the same release version. I've left feedback on the latter's page for its maintainer, to maybe rename/resubmit that package with a '-bin' designation. But the important thing is, said package has the same essential functionality as this orphan one, that's why I recommend deletion.
