[PRQ#42690] Deletion Request for lib32-libcap-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-libcap-git [2]: Abandoned VCS package from 2021. Current .SRCINFO pkgver is fake, because the pkgver() just prints git rev-parse --short HEAD But no one complained: 0 comments, 1 vote. I recommend deletion. Arch repo carries stable variant.

[PRQ#42685] Deletion Request for lib32-gnutls-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-gnutls-git [2]: Unmaintained VCS package from 2021. Owner MIA since that year. Build does not use the same options as Arch [multilib] lib32-gnutls does. pkgver() does not guarantee monotonicity. Package not needed: 1 vote, only 1 comment from owner from 2021. Arch repo lib32-gnutls is there for users. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/lib32-gnutls-git/

[PRQ#42663] Deletion Request for neovim-nightly
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for neovim-nightly [2]: This new package is a misguided alternative/duplicate of neovim-git. Source links to a GitHub 'nightly' source tarball (not binary), without verifying its checksum. (Please note; the neovim project also has erroneously pushed two problematic git tags, 'stable' and 'nightly'. I don't know what they intend to do with them, but I guess they will use force-push to change the pointers behind those tags from time to time.) Anyhow, this package is wrong and not needed: users are advised to use the correctly maintained neovim-git package. There is also a neovim-nightly-bin package if someone wants to test upstream's nightly binary on Arch. So this package is both wrong and superfluous. Please delete.

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

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-piff [2]: This dual Py2/Py3 astronomical research package is severely broken. Orphaned, last updated in 2018. 0 votes, and only I commented a year ago about its brokenness. Best to delete from AUR. Scientists and other interested experts are best served by installing the maintained Conda-Forge or PyPI package.

[PRQ#42618] Deletion Request for lib32-fontconfig-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-fontconfig-git [2]: Unneeded VCS package from 2021. Maintainer MIA since 2021 and does not respond to emails. Package uses a wrong pkgver() implementation (not monotonically increasing) (like the majority of @shoober420's git packages). Seems not needed: 1 vote, 0 comments.
