[PRQ#51724] Deletion Request for gadmin-rsync
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 24 Mar '24

24 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gadmin-rsync [2]: Broken third-party GNOME2 GUI based backup client frontend to rsync. All maintenance stopped in 2016. Upstream website gone (address not found). This also does not support current desktop security best practices of running only non-root GUI apps that can invoke elevated privileges as needed, e.g. via PolKit. Rather, this one would need the deprecated gksu (discontinued since 2018) to run its full GUI app with superuser credentials. Not useful to keep and try to fix, as there are much better and currently maintained alternatives, in Arch repo as well as on AUR.

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for zecwallet-lite [2]: Discontinued since 2022, repo is now archived. [a] Package cannot be built.

[PRQ#49543] Deletion Request for openssl-static
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 24 Mar '24

24 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for openssl-static [2]: Unneeded, not very actively maintained duplicate of core/openssl. Currently outdated since September 2023. With this, it makes the Arch Linux installation that has this vulnerable to discovered and published attack vectors. Only AUR/x-minecraft-launcher depends on it. That package should either use core/openssl, or if really necessary, bundle in openssl in a static build, instead of forcing to have a duplicate of the repo package on AUR. Also, if a feature that is essential is missing from core/openssl, please file an Arch bug ticket. That's what AUR submission guidelines call for instead of modding and uploading repo PKGBUILDs to AUR.

[PRQ#49571] Deletion Request for medis
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 24 Mar '24

24 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for medis [2]: Broken VCS package in disguise. Was meant for upstream's latest stable release, which is from 2019. Badly packaged: there's no pkgver() function. It also uses the EOL nodejs-lts-fermium (v14), but the latest npm, which does not work with the former. It seems no one noticed the problems with this, so most likely no one uses it anymore.

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for openss7-git [2]: Unused analog and ISDN telephony stack, with Linux kernel < 5.5 modules; not compatible with current Linux kernels, doesn't work anymore.

[PRQ#49480] Deletion Request for metacity2
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 24 Mar '24

24 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for metacity2 [2]: Unused, unneeded old gtk2 version of metacity from 11 years ago (2012), whose latest version is carried by extra repo. Metacity is already part of the GNOME project 'Flashback', providing classic Gtk2-like application look even when using newer toolkits like gtk3. Safe to delete this superfluous PKGBUILD.
