[PRQ#45835] Deletion Request for elkirtasse-bin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for elkirtasse-bin [2]: Broken, unmaintained binary build from 2014, uploaded in 2021. Also there is no source checksum verification, and PKGBUILD uses the 'mv' command instead of 'install'. Which leads to wrong directory permissions in /usr, /usr/bin etc: all content has the 'world writeable' attribute. And its qt4-bin dependency is broken as well, so the application could not function at all. Such an old application, if needed, should be rebuilt from source to work with currently available libraries.

[PRQ#45832] Deletion Request for qt4-bin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for qt4-bin [2]: Broken binary, just reuses a third party AUR-build repo's pacman .tar.xz package. But it declares the dependencies very wrongly, has hidden versioned depends on legacy openssl, postgresql, libtiff, libfbclient, unixodbc, libmariadb, etc. AUR still has a source-based qt4 package; users are best served by using that (or downloading a fresh build from a maintained third-party repo).

04 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-sni-qt-patched-git [2]: Orphan Qt4 VCS package from 2017, URL broken since 16+ months. Not useful to keep. There's still a working lib32-sni-qt on AUR.

[PRQ#45824] Deletion Request for lib32-libofa
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-libofa [2]: Not needed anymore (nothing depends on it). Was added in 2012 to lib32-gstreamer's depends for feature parity with the 64-bit counterpart. Reasonably there is no 32-bit only software that would want to rely on this. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/lib32-libofa/

[PRQ#45823] Deletion Request for lib32-spandsp
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-spandsp [2]: This "DSP library for telephony", originally submitted to AUR in 2013 for feature-parity of lib32-gstreamer with repo's counterpart, is not needed anymore by that package. Nor, reasonably, by any 32-bit-only application. Also it is too new for such a scenario. (First released in 2007; Linux has supported x86-64 since 2001, and anyhow this is a niche software component.)
