[PRQ#43087] Deletion Request for gdm-theme-brasillinux-eye
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Aug '23

18 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gdm-theme-brasillinux-eye [2]: A themes pack from 2015 for the several-years broken gdm-old, which was also last updated in 2015. This was also compatible with Linux Mint's former mdm display manager, but its last release came in 2017, and it was already reported broken on AUR in April 2018. So it's safe to say this package is no longer useful to keep. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/gdm-theme-brasillinux-eye/

[PRQ#43086] Deletion Request for xnretro
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Aug '23

18 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for xnretro [2]: Orphan bin32 binary package, release date 2013 (last for Linux, and only bin32). Otherwise latest release is from 2020 for Windows & MacOS. I recommend deletion: not worth keeping. There are many photo editors with filtering effect natively for Linux nowadays. Or someone can just pour the 2020 Windows version into a WINE bottle (prefix). :P [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/xnretro/

[PRQ#43085] Deletion Request for intrusion2-hib
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Aug '23

18 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for intrusion2-hib [2]: Broken due to missing dependency that would not be easy to revive: lib32-flashplugin. As lib32 is dying out, it might be the best option to run the Windows version of bin32 games through WINE.

[PRQ#43084] Deletion Request for lib32-libsidplay
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Aug '23

18 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-libsidplay [2]: This Commodore64 SID music file playback library was last updated in 2004. It was used through gstreamer via one of its "ugly plugins". Repo dropped the 64-bit package recently due to "failing to build" (FS#78686; no details specified or logs shared). As of today, AUR's lib32-gst-plugins-ugly has also removed this dependency. Irrespective of the viability of the 64-bit build, this lib32 package is emphatically not needed. By following the dependency graph in Arch and AUR repos, one can see that the only consumers of lib32-gstreamer are wine packages, and its commercial alternative, crossover. There is hardly any bin32 media player in the whole ecosystem. (And there's no reason for such to exist in x86_64 land.) Emulators of Commode 64 et al never needed libsidplay, as they implement full emulation internally, including the waveform generator of the original SID chip of Commodore machines. As for applications external to Arch/AUR packages, I can hardly think of any that would need this niche, extremely old library either directly or through lib32-gstreamer. So I conclude that it's safe to delete this package from here. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/lib32-libsidplay/

[PRQ#43083] Deletion Request for bin32-zentile
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Aug '23

18 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for bin32-zentile [2]: Orphan. Last update 2019. Wrong package name (should have been bin32-zentile-bin, as sources are available). Not needed and not useful to keep anymore. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/bin32-zentile/

[PRQ#43081] Deletion Request for gdm-old
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Aug '23

18 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gdm-old [2]: Last updated in 2015. Wrongly packaged, as spotted by a commenter in 2021: makepkg says: ==> ERROR: pkgrel can not be set inside a package function Apart from this, all other comment are from 2015 and back. Safe to this package. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/gdm-old/
