[PRQ#50349] Deletion Request for wink
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 20 Mar '24

20 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for wink [2]: Broken proprietary foreign binary from 2005, doesn't work. Not useful to keep on AUR. There are functioning alternatives for the same use case. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/wink/

[PRQ#50287] Deletion Request for qt5ct-svn
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 20 Mar '24

20 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for qt5ct-svn [2]: Unused, broken VCS package from 2018. I recommend deletion, as this third-party Qt5-only utility's upstream is in minimal maintenance mode, with only a few minor translation and dependency/buildconfig bumps added occasionally. The project quickly creates a new point release after those adjustments. Therefore a working VCS package would only create a duplicate of repo's qt5ct almost all of the time.

[PRQ#50819] Deletion Request for python-atomiclong
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 20 Mar '24

20 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-atomiclong [2]: If the defunct EOL gitfs is deleted (PRQ#50818), this Python2/Python3 library from 2013 can be safely dropped from AUR as well. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-atomiclong/

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 20 Mar '24

20 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-pyguetzli [2]: Outdated, unmaintained dependency of AUR/yoga. Safe to delete after dropping the latter (PRQ#50822). [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-pyguetzli/

[PRQ#50877] Deletion Request for rpgvxace-rtp
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 20 Mar '24

20 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for rpgvxace-rtp [2]: Unneeded RPG Maker common multimedia assets and runtime .dll's package from 2011. Nothing depends on it on AUR. Source is hosted on an insecure third-party server with expired TLS certificate, therefore curl refuses to download it. Not needed to keep this package on AUR as is. Also, this was only intended to allow reducing the game distribution file size, by omitting these common resources and downloading them once from RPG Maker's official site. But nowadays bandwidth is not a problem. If a game still happens to need these resources, it will link to official upstream site, from where they can be acquired, and it is safer to get it from there and install them only inside the HOME dir, not into the system.

[PRQ#50289] Merge Request for virtualbox6.1-bin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 20 Mar '24

20 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge virtualbox6.1-bin [2] into virtualbox6-bin [3]: It seems reasonable to merge these two pkgbases, since they are duplicates. 'virtualbox6-bin' was submitted to AUR a little bit earlier, for the v6.1 line. There's no v6.2 and higher point version, and only the v6.1 line is maintained by upstream for the legacy VirtualBox 6 product.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 20 Mar '24

20 Mar '24

[PRQ#49694] Deletion Request for python2-pyttsx
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 20 Mar '24

20 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-pyttsx [2]: Unused Python2 package, last released in 2012. [a] It's a frontend for espeak, whose espeak-ng fork is in repo. But this package even fails to link to that. It is not useful to keep on AUR. There are many alternatives, and even this module has many newer forks on PyPI. [b] [a]: https://pypi.org/project/pyttsx/ [b]: https://pypi.org/search/?q=pyttsx [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python2-pyttsx/
