[PRQ#46178] Deletion Request for htcap-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 03 Dec '23

03 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for htcap-git [2]: Unmaintained, broken VCS package from 2017. Upstream has been actively developed until 2020 but not since then. [a] Current AUR build still relies on the discontinued Qt5-WebKit-based PhantomJS, last released in 2016. Whereas upstream has switched to experimental support for headless Chrome in 2018. I think this abandoned project is not in a good shape, and the AUR package is similarly stale and defunct at this point. So I recommend deletion.

[PRQ#47528] Deletion Request for freetds-patched-enum
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 03 Dec '23

03 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for freetds-patched-enum [2]: Proposal to delete this outdated, modded variant of repo's freetds, from 2022-06. The latter has received 8 point release updates since that time. There is no evidence of user interest since years. So I think it would be safe to drop this from AUR.
