[PRQ#42724] Deletion Request for moosic
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for moosic [2]: Python 2 based CLI music player from 2011. Rudimentary support for just a few formats (MOD, MP3, WAV, MIDI, Vorbis, CD audio). Recommend deletion: there are currently maintained alternatives with much wider audio file format support than this.

[PRQ#42720] Merge Request for wine-x64
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge wine-x64 [2] into wine-wow64 [3]: wine-x64 AUR package is not very actively maintained. It also does not declare the necessary provides (wine). Therefore it cannot be installed together with other packages that depend on wine. @tiziodcaio created a new fork of this package, wine-wow64, and he actively maintains it ever since. So it's better to merge this not-too-proper older package to the new, improved variant that is packaged correctly.

[PRQ#42699] Deletion Request for gnutls-nodocs-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gnutls-nodocs-git [2]: Abandoned variant of gnutls-git from 2021. Has not been kept at feature-parity with repo gnutls. Not needed: gnutls-git is enough to keep, and it has an active and dedicated maintainer. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/gnutls-nodocs-git/

[PRQ#42694] Deletion Request for lib32-icu-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-icu-git [2]: Abandoned VCS package from 2021. Owner MIA since then. Does not implement expected pkgver(). Current .SRCINFO "pkgver = 68.2" is fake: pkgver() just counts the number of commits and appends the short-hash. But there's no point in keeping this package. 0 comments, 1 vote. Arch repo carries the latest stable version. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/lib32-icu-git/

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

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-glib2-git [2]: Abandoned VCS package from 2020. Owner MIA since 2021. pkgver() is wrong: no guarantee for monotonicity. 1 vote / 0 comment. I recommend deletion. Arch repo carries the stable version. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/lib32-glib2-git/
