[aur-requests] [PRQ#31788] Deletion Request for lib32-schroedinger
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 08 Oct '23

08 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-schroedinger [2]: This 10+ year old library is not needed anymore. (Actually the major release v1.0 is from 2008.) Even Arch has orphaned it. Current FFMPEG/libavcodec source includes a better alternative of the Dirac codec (which is Schroedinger's purpose as well). But FFMPEG's code has been maintained and improved since. (Its current Dirac codec actually is based on an improved version called SMPTE VC-2, previously known as BBC Dirac Pro.) For its only AUR dependent, lib32-ffmpeg-semifull-git, I've already submitted a deletion request, since that is completely dead, with 15+ missing dependencies. (And that package is not needed anyway, as there are working and up-to-date lib32-ffmpeg AUR packages.)

[PRQ#41689] Deletion Request for lightdm-pantheon-greeter-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 08 Jul '23

08 Jul '23

xiota [1] filed a deletion request for lightdm-pantheon-greeter-git [2]: Modifying my previous deletion request (PRQ#41468) by providing additional information and explanation. I had previously thought this package is a duplicate of extra/lightdm-pantheon-greeter, rather, it is a *near* duplicate. While the extra package does not fully track git, it is written to use selected git commits. If this practice is expected to continue in the extra package, the AUR package may be considered sufficiently similar to warrant deletion. Further, this package fails to satisfy the "useful" criterion of the AUR submission guidelines, defined as "more than a few people would find this package useful". In Dec 2020, a commit was made that broke this package. This package has few enough users that this problem apparently went unnoticed until Apr 2023. After being notified of the issue via comment, there was no response for well over a month. Upon noticing the issue, the maintainer did fix it, but then dropped the package, so that it is now unmaintained.

[PRQ#41743] Deletion Request for python-javascriptcore4-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Jul '23

01 Jul '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-javascriptcore4-git [2]: This Python bindings for webkitgtk-4.0 hasn't been developed since 2016 [a] and its GitHub repo got archived in 2022. As per readme, it was only ever tested with up to Python 3.1. [b] The git source URL protocol is unsupported since March 2022, so the build cannot download them. But no one complained. There is only 1 vote, and one comment from 2020. No package depends on this. Therefore it is safe to delete it, and I recommend to do so. [a]: https://github.com/freundTech/pyjavascriptcore [b]: https://github.com/freundTech/pyjavascriptcore#readme [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-javascriptcore4-git/

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-javascriptcore3-git [2]: This Python bindings for webkitgtk hasn't been developed since 2016 [a] and its GitHub repo got archived in 2022. As per readme, it was only ever tested with up to Python 3.1. [b] As per the only comment on this AUR package, left by @dreieck in 2017, the package fails to build.
