[PRQ#50353] Deletion Request for pcsxr-gtk2
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 13 Nov '23

13 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for pcsxr-gtk2 [2]: Broken, unused PSX emulator pkg, last updated in 2020. Last comment is also from same year. Source is missing (404). Users can still choose alternatives: - AUR/pcsxr [a] (source is reachable, builds fine), - AUR/pcsx-redux-git [b] (actively developed continuation fork; the 'pcsxr' fork is abandoned since 2020).

[PRQ#50314] Deletion Request for repo-mokee
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 13 Nov '23

13 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for repo-mokee [2]: It's not worth fixing this package. It just uses the MOKEE custom Android AOSP-based distribution's own fork of android.googlesource.com's git repository for the tool called 'repo'. But since July 2022, the MOKEE project stopped all maintenance activity on their fork. Therefore it is now just an outdated duplicate of the [extra]/repo and AUR/repo-git packages. [a] (Note: in the git commit log, @lamontj's commits are coming from the upstream Google project, so one can see that there was very minimal custom development being done in this fork during the last 2 years.)

[PRQ#50209] Deletion Request for clash-premium-bin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 13 Nov '23

13 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for clash-premium-bin [2]: Revenge of the Chinese Winnie the Pooh? GitHub repo deleted (404). [a] And in this particular case, there's no possibility of finding forks, because this package was using prebuilt binaries made by the author who chose to deliberately violate his own original clash software's GPL license by not disclosing the derivative source code of 'Clash Premium'. [b] Btw it's creepy that several PRC censorship evasion software repos were deleted on the same day: November 3, 2023. And many other related ones owned by different people were archived on that date. [a]: https://github.com/Dreamacro/clash/ [b]: http://web.archive.org/web/20231025223859/https://github.com/Dreamacro/clas… [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/clash-premium-bin/

[PRQ#50207] Deletion Request for clashy-bin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 13 Nov '23

13 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for clashy-bin [2]: A casualty of the Orwellian dictatorship known as People's Republic of China. Source missing - GitHub repo deleted (404). [a] The AUR package was last updated in Feb 2022. Last upstream update was in Aug 2022. [b] On November 3, 2023, there seems to have been a widespread clampdown on GitHub relating to PRC censorship evasion tools, because earlier that day, repo was available [b], then it was gone, just like the main GitHub repo for clash. Many other related repos got archived on that day. [a]: https://github.com/SpongeNobody/Clashy [c]: https://web.archive.org/web/20231103080822/https://github.com/SpongeNobody/… [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/clashy-bin/

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for clashy-git [2]: A casualty of the (anti-)People's (non-)Republic of China: Source missing - GitHub repo deleted (404). [a] Otherwise this was not actively developed after 2020. [b] On November 3, 2023, there seems to have been a widespread clampdown on GitHub relating to PRC censorship evasion tools, because earlier that day, repo was available [c], then it was gone, just like the main GitHub repo for clash.

[PRQ#49733] Deletion Request for python-zeroc-ice
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 13 Nov '23

13 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-zeroc-ice [2]: Abandoned Python library from 2019. My OOD flag has been ignored since 2022-08. There are no reverse dependencies, and last comment is from 2018. Based on this, I recommend deleting this unused package. (Latest version can easily be installed from PyPI, if someone has an application that happens to need this.)
