[PRQ#50941] Deletion Request for codelobster
by turgenev2＠tuta.io 25 Nov '23

25 Nov '23

To be true, I don't use codelobster for now, just maintain package. About "30 days trial" - this is for Professional edition. After 30 days without registration codelobster will continue to work in "free" mode (i.e. without several plugins). I have no Professional version, so it's difficult for me to check problem with plugins, that you mention, but anyway, it still possible to use package in "free" mode. I'll add pinned post about this in AUR, may be somebody with Pro version can help with testing. I have no problems with scaling/fonts/animations, but seems this is not reason for deleting package anyway. If you found a bug - inform developers. About "very good free, open source IDE's likevscodium, and also IntelliJ's ... IDE's": Whether existence of "good" software means, that "worse" software must be removed from AUR? I thought, that no. Both VScode and IntelliJ products are "bad" for my personal opinion. VScode written over electron <https://www.reddit.com/r/programminghorror/comments/bfgtnu/why_cant_electro…>. Intellij products are java-based. For my experience "java" means "written overcomplicated, works slowly, eats resources, generates warnings since startup, crashes with giant unexplainable stacktraces from time to time". BTW, Intellij's PHPstorm is '30days trial' without free version. Sorry for that, main idea is that different people can have different opinion about best IDE. What are negate effects of having this package in AUR? Distribution of closed-source software - right. Something else?

[PRQ#51752] Deletion Request for armv8l-linux-gnueabihf-linux-api-headers
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 25 Nov '23

25 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for armv8l-linux-gnueabihf- linux-api-headers [2]: Unmaintained ARMv8 cross-compiler toolchain component (Linux 4.5 kernel headers) from 2017. For the 64-bit supporting ARMv8 platform, but for kernels running in 32-bit mode. I recommend deletion. It is not useful to keep as is. And almost all related toolchain packages have already been deleted from AUR, because they were similarly abandoned (all from 2017). Also, Arch Linux ARM does not support this architecture target, and e.g. the Android project explicitly chose not to support this, as it makes no mainstream practical sense to run kernel and user processes in 32-bit on ARMv8 64-bit HW.

[PRQ#48941] Deletion Request for waterfox-g-kpe
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 25 Nov '23

25 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for waterfox-g-kpe [2]: Wrongly named package with wrong provides. Upstream's name is WaterFox, 'G' is just part of the version string. Other waterfox packages on AUR have recently been renamed to address that. 'kpe' is also bogus, since this package aims to include patches to better support the KDE desktop environment, so this designation should have been '-kde'.

[PRQ#51477] Deletion Request for python2-twisted
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 25 Nov '23

25 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-twisted [2]: Safe to delete this now unused legacy networking framework. Some dependencies already have issues with binary bindings (to libxml). Consumer londonlaw-git is currently unmaintained, but there is a Python3 port of that available. So once someone gets the chance to tend to that package, it can be made to work again.
