[PRQ#51211] Deletion Request for python-detectron2-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 14 Nov '23

14 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-detectron2-git [2]: This VCS package is not worth keeping on AUR, for lack of user and maintainer interest for the last 2-3 years. It is also a heavy build, with a complex dependency chain. It's better if users acquire upstream's binary wheel, or the AUR/python-detectron2{,-cuda} PKGBUILD's third-party CI binary release.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 14 Nov '23

14 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for perl-algorithm-dependency [2]: Unused Perl module from 2015; cannot be built on current Perl due to incompatible, broken AUR dependency. Better to delete, as there are no votes or comments whatsoever, and nothing depends on it.

[PRQ#51188] Deletion Request for soapyplutosdr-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 14 Nov '23

14 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for soapyplutosdr-git [2]: Repo carries the latest stable release. Seems there's virtually no interest by users in this git build. And former maintainer disowned it after I flagged it for being broken in Aug 2023. Better to delete it, and leave repo's working stable package for users to rely on.

[PRQ#51154] Deletion Request for networkmanager-fortisslvpn-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 14 Nov '23

14 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for networkmanager-fortisslvpn- git [2]: Defunct VCS package. Upstream only receives automated CI housekeeping commits, but not feature commits, for the last 2+ year. [a] It depends on the unofficial openfortivpn client library for Fortinet's VPN, unsupported by the Fortinet company. It has seen a wide variety of breakages, especially for the past 6+ months. [b] The openfortivpn devs are fighting an uphill battle, and seem to be on the losing side. Fortinet itself is phasing out its independent VPN offering, and instead focuses on its other, integrated cloud and on-premises management, security and teleworking solutions. They still offer their own Linux VPN client for legacy customers [c], which seems to be users' only remaining viable option as of now. Though Fortinet no longer provides any support whatsoever for these users, and instead promotes its upmarket products.

[PRQ#51146] Deletion Request for trakt-scrobbler-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 14 Nov '23

14 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for trakt-scrobbler-git [2]: Upstream targets itself for compatibility with only very old Python modules, which are not available on Arch Linux, and maintenance of them is nonexistent on AUR. Users' best choice is to install either the git master or the latest stable via pipx. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/trakt-scrobbler-git/
