[PRQ#47114] Deletion Request for checkmate
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 13 Nov '23

13 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for checkmate [2]: Unused, abandoned scientific Python2 pkg from 2019. There's a "checkmate2" fork/continuation that supports Python3, but former maintainer disowned this because of lack of need on their part, and apart from his recent comment mentioning it, last comments are from 2017. So it seems no one else is using this anymore. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/checkmate/

[PRQ#46561] Deletion Request for librsvg-og
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 13 Nov '23

13 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for librsvg-og [2]: This is an ArchLinux32 package from 2021-05: arch=(i486 i686 pentium4) Not needed: same owner maintains this package for those architectures directly in ArchLinux32.org repos, where it is already on a newer git version (last updated on 2022-07-23). Also in ArchLinux32, there is a working rust compiler for i686 and pentium4 (i586) platforms, so the repo for those also carries the current main librsvg 2.56.x which needs rustc. As stated by librsvg-og fork repo (last updated in 2020): "The goal of this fork is to keep the C implementation alive and up to date, to help provide librsvg for platforms without a working rust compiler."

andreas_baumann [1] filed a deletion request for librsvg-og [2]: Yes, this is of little use when there is a Rust compiler available. As it may cause confusion for 64-bit Intel people, please delete it. :-) [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/andreas_baumann/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/librsvg-og/

[PRQ#46231] Deletion Request for taskcoach
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 13 Nov '23

13 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for taskcoach [2]: Broken Python2 based application, last updated in 2019. It has been broken for several different reasons during the last 2.5 years. But it seems there is no user demand for this tool: last comment is from 2021-04, about the inability to install it. So I recommend deletion at this point.
