[PRQ#50370] Deletion Request for kf5-transition-dummy
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 06 Mar '24

06 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for kf5-transition-dummy [2]: This dummy package is not just bogus, but actually ill-conceived. Arch's KDE-Unstable repo kept KDE6 Frameworks package names intact, and most VCS packages for those components on AUR also already provide the KF6 build and kept the unsuffixed virtual provides names. E.g. 'kitemmodels' or 'kdoctools' are in Arch/KDE-Unstable, and also kitemmodels-git and kdoctools-git provide the same, respectively. Whereas Arch/extra has kitemmodels5 and kdoctools5. This pattern is true for several dozen packages now. So keeping the non-suffixed names to mean the KF6 variant is proper. This dummy package makes one think that there is some problem with that, but there isn't. And anyhow, dummy packages should not be used for tracking reverse dependencies, because these packages would just break builds and runtime libraries if ever installed. The VCS packages for KDE Frameworks and KDE Plasma components can serve the same purpose ('tracking') while also not providing any disfunction to AUR.

[PRQ#50026] Deletion Request for python-os-xenapi
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Mar '24

05 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-os-xenapi [2]: Cleanup of unneeded package after the deletion of its sole consumer, openstack-nova, abandoned on AUR, broken since 2021-09 (PRQ#50005). (Seems no one wants to maintain 100+ Openstack server related Python builds on AUR since 1.5-2 years ago. PyPI is the best source for these frequently updated modules.)

[PRQ#49921] Deletion Request for cm256cc-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Mar '24

05 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for cm256cc-git [2]: Unmaintained, badly packaged VCS build from 2017, and master branch code is exactly the same as what extra repo's cm256cc uses. Which makes this PKGBUILD an inferiorly configured duplicate - one that is superfluous. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/cm256cc-git/
