[PRQ#42825] Deletion Request for libgksu-colormap-fix
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for libgksu-colormap-fix [2]: Unneeded, broken duplicate of AUR/libgksu. As per the only comment, left by @micwoj92 on 2023-02-22, the build fails, but AUR/libgksu works fine. The latter has an active maintainer; this one is an orphan. Please kindly delete.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for espeak-test [2]: Espeak 1 has been discontinued since 2017. [a] No need for this fixed-version 'devel' package from 2015.

[a]: https://sourceforge.net/p/espeak/code/HEAD/tree/ [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/espeak-test/

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for caja-gksu [2]: Orphan package from 2019. gksu itself has been deprecated and removed from most distros from 2018 on. And replaced by PolicyKit (admin://) based solutions. Nothing depends on this package. Has 2 votes, and only former owner commented in 2020 that he no longer has any use for this.

[PRQ#42822] Deletion Request for flaketill-says
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for flaketill-says [2]: A dummy project from 2016. Looks like tinkering for self-learning. No external source declared. Shell script source hosted on AUR does nothing except define colors and print some demo text. PKGBUILD dependencies are bogus. Upstream URL was a personal website unrelated to this package; now dead.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for netctl-eduroam-kth [2]: Very outdated example configuration from 2015 for Sweden's EDUROAM used by academia and universities.

[PRQ#42814] Deletion Request for yuicompressor
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for yuicompressor [2]: This JavaScript source compressor has seen its last release in 2013. [a] It is likely not safe to use now but also not needed with modern web transport technologies that have built-in transparent transfer compression. Also its one dependent on AUR, ajenti-git is a broken Python 2 package pending deletion, and its current upstream version does not need this tool. [a]: https://github.com/yui/yuicompressor/releases [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/yuicompressor/

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for htmlcompressor [2]: Abandoned package from 2016 from a long-discontinued code.google.com project. Broken since at least Dec 2016 as per comment. But last comment is from 2018 (again about being broken). It's best to delete it at this point. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/htmlcompressor/

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

[PRQ#42809] Merge Request for python-mail-parser
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge python-mail-parser [2] into mailparser [3]: The former package is a duplicate of the target package. Also please reject PRQ#42758, which is a merge request in the wrong direction. Python packages that are their own executable applications as well, should not have 'python-' name prefix (except a few which are strongly tied to the Python ecosystem infrastructure like pip or tox). Ref: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Python_package_guidelines [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-mail-parser/ [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/mailparser/
