[PRQ#51346] Merge Request for wingpanel-indicator-privacy-stable-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge wingpanel-indicator-privacy- stable-git [2] into wingpanel-indicator-privacy-git [3]: Eliminating duplication. Both packages are the same, and they build from the master branch.

[PRQ#51403] Merge Request for perl-term-twiddle-qle
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge perl-term-twiddle-qle [2] into perl-term-twiddle [3]: The former is the exact duplicate of the latter as of now. Also, perl-term-twiddle-qle has a wrong, non-working upstream URL. The '-qle' package is an exclusive dependency of AUR/qle, which is a defunct package from 2017, with its source and upstream gone (404), so I've submitted that for deletion (PRQ#51402).

[PRQ#51509] Merge Request for clang-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge clang-git [2] into llvm-git [3]: Eliminating problematic partial duplication. clang is part of the 'llvm-project' GitHub repository. AUR/llvm-git already builds clang as well. The latter is a much better PKGBUILD, e.g. it has a proper and more useful project version based pkgver() instead of just using the number of git commits (rREVISION). Also, it doesn't make sense to build clang-git separately from llvm- git, as these should go hand-in-hand for proper, reproducible testing. Deleting 'clang-git' will allow the maintainers of llvm-git to decide if they want to make a split package for clang inside the llvm-git pkgbase (which may or may not be desirable - but it should be up to them to consider this option).

[PRQ#51510] Merge Request for rtags-clang-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge rtags-clang-git [2] into rtags [3]: 'rtags-clang-git' is a duplicate of 'rtags', i.e., not a VCS package, and both are built with clang.

[PRQ#51659] Merge Request for python-omemo-syndace
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge python-omemo-syndace [2] into python-omemo [3]: Eliminating duplication. The original python-omemo project maintenance has ended in 2017 [a], and then the Syndance project took over the development. [b] PyPI/OMEMO is now coming from the Syndance version. [c] Both packages are on the exact same version as of this moment. 'python-omemo' already has provides='python-omemo-syndace' for backwards compatibility with the earlier-submitted 'python-omemo- syndace'. [a]: https://github.com/omemo/python-omemo [b]: https://github.com/Syndace/python-omemo [c]: https://pypi.org/project/OMEMO/ [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-omemo-syndace/ [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-omemo/

[PRQ#50344] Deletion Request for visit-build
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for visit-build [2]: Broken, unused package from 2020. OOD flag ignored since 2021. Last comment is from 2017. Upstream is continually developed, so abandoning it on AUR doesn't seem to be because of obsolescence, rather, just lack of interest here. Actually upstream publishes an easy-to-use, well-documented build script which helps users in acquiring the sources and building it for installation inside their user's directory. (There are also upstream binary releases, and an installation script to facilitate downloading and installing that one inside user's home.) PKGBUILD is problematic for an Arch/AUR package: does not declare sources, just lets upstream's install script fetch sources via wget. People who want to use this application better stick to using upstream's supported build or binary installation methods. (It doesn't need to exist inside system dirs to work.)
