MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for xrootd4 [2]: Orphan legacy version of xrootd, nothing needs this on AUR. Repo carries the current release. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/xrootd4/

[PRQ#46151] Deletion Request for xmlrpc-c-svn
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Nov '23

21 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for xmlrpc-c-svn [2]: Unmaintained orphan VCS package from 2015. With a name that doesn't align with repo's package for the same project's stable release: libxmlrpc is carried by [extra]. The latter also provides the 'xmlrpc-c' name, just like this package. So all AUR consumers of that can and do use the repo package. Meanwhile, this one has packaging issues that have not been addressed for years. I recommend deletion, as it's not useful to keep like this. A new VCS pkg can be easily created using repo's PKGBUILD as a template, and with a more fitting name, like 'libxmlrpc-svn'.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for zfs-linux-vfio [2]: Unmaintained, OOD zfs module from 2019 for the linux-vfio kernel variant. Not useful to keep.

[PRQ#46141] Deletion Request for zfs-linux-lts-rc
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Nov '23

21 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for zfs-linux-lts-rc [2]: Unmaintained, long-OOD zfs release candidate module from 2021 for the Arch linux-lts kernel. Not useful to keep with this lack of interest: 0 votes or comments. The AUR/zfs-dkms-rc can be installed for the LTS kernel; that is a much better option for users, because there is zero maintenance lag when using that.
