[PRQ#48801] Deletion Request for gnuradio38
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 14 Nov '23

14 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gnuradio38 [2]: Cleanup of defunct legacy package. Conflicts with repo's gnuradio. Gnuradio 3.8 is not maintained since 2022-03 (last release 2022-01). [a] Package is unbuildable, and there's no fix. But no maintained and working package depends on this. (The few AUR consumers are abandoned PKGBUILDs which either need update because they require gnuradio 3.10 now, or have to be deleted. I've taken all possible actions to flag packages where appropriate, and submitted a few deletion requests for discontinued addons.)

[PRQ#48772] Deletion Request for gawk-fake
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 14 Nov '23

14 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gawk-fake [2]: Unused shim package with a wrong, misleading name. core/gawk is part of base and base-devel: it should not be "faked out" on an Arch Linux installation. Better to delete, and safe to do so. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/gawk-fake/

[PRQ#47293] Deletion Request for libgnome-media-profiles
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 14 Nov '23

14 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for libgnome-media-profiles [2]: Discontinued module from 2011, likely for GNOME 3. Broken because its makedepend, gnome-doc-utils fails to build since years. But it seems it is not needed. It uses gstreamer0.10, no longer part of GNOME desktop. And also GNOME 3 is deprecated.

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

14 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for eman2 [2]: Orphan pkg from 2017, source not found (404). Only the also-broken orphan scipion-git optdepends on it, which is pending deletion (PRQ#46324). [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/eman2/

[PRQ#46324] Deletion Request for scipion-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 14 Nov '23

14 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for scipion-git [2]: Orphan VCS package for a niche scientific tool. Its upstream was developed only until 2020. [a] Then in April this year, just before archiving the repo, a developer added a remark in readme that this is an old, unused code base, and included a link pointing to the website. [b] As it turns out, the monorepo has been split into three separate application components, plus a fourth which is a Python-based installer. Not useful to keep this deprecated package.
