[PRQ#45772] Deletion Request for lib32-imath
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-imath [2]: This is an add-on library to lib32-openexr, which is now an orphan, and nothing depends on that. And the OpenEXR high-dynamic-range photography format is too new for any legacy, closed-source bin32-only application to use it. So I don't think there is any benefit in keeping this around. Submitted lib32-openexr for deletion as well (PRQ#45771). [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/lib32-imath/

[PRQ#45769] Deletion Request for yujmo_libfreenect2
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for yujmo_libfreenect2 [2]: This fork of libfreenect2 has been abandoned since 2018 [a], and is two years older than upstream. [b] Package doesn't set its provides and conflicts, so nothing depends on it. Safe to delete.

[PRQ#45767] Deletion Request for openni2-libfreenect
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for openni2-libfreenect [2]: Abandoned package from 2016, broken as per last comment from that year. This is also a half-VCS package: it bundles two packages in one: libfreenect (VCS) and openni2 (last version from 2014 which needs patches to compile). I recommend deletion, there is no need to keep this one: AUR still has maintained libfreenect{,-} and openni2{,-git} packages.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for jadx-bin [2]: Unneeded, unmaintained OOD duplicate of repo's jadx. This is a Java application for any architecture, so the AUR package cannot possibly provide this for more platforms than the one already in [extra].
