[PRQ#42534] Deletion Request for linux-pf-stable-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Jul '23

23 Jul '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for linux-pf-stable-git [2]: Having this package is pointless. The linux-pf repo always points to the latest stable branch. This package is also outdated without manual intervention by ower: it still points to linux-pf 6.2 branch even though 6.3 is the latest stable branch. The AUR/linux-pf-git package is enough to keep.

[PRQ#42532] Deletion Request for virtualbox-host-modules-pf
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Jul '23

23 Jul '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for virtualbox-host-modules-pf [2]: It seems this package has never been properly maintained all through several years. Because it depends on a version-bound 'virtualbox-host-dkms', which should be provided by AUR/linux-pf, but the latter package only ever provided versionless 'virtualbox-host-dkms'. There is a comment on this package page from 2016 about the same. (It comes from a package merge, as this current package has been first submitted in 2020. But this comment indicates that even the predecessor of this package was not maintained properly.)

[PRQ#42467] Deletion Request for kepubify-bin-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Jul '23

23 Jul '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for kepubify-bin-git [2]: This new package doesn't make sense. It is not a VCS package, but a binary one. And it just duplicates the following: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kepubify-bin Which has been on AUR since 2018. Please delete.

[PRQ#42463] Deletion Request for sdl2-nox-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Jul '23

23 Jul '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for sdl2-nox-git [2]: Orphaned variant VCS package for SDL2. Last updated a year ago. Upstream won't continue feature development for SDL2, so there is no more crucial need for a rolling version package. Also in its current state, it will download the incorrect branch. So it is not useful to keep on AUR as-is. There is a total lack of interest in this: 0 comments, 0 votes. There is still an SDL2-nox package on AUR if someone wants a stable build.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Jul '23

23 Jul '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for nodejs-sql-language-server [2]: Orphaned, outdated, wrongly named duplicate of maintained, up-to-date AUR package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sql-language-server (No merge needed; 0 votes/comments.)

[PRQ#42430] Deletion Request for xml-language-server-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Jul '23

23 Jul '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for xml-language-server-git [2]: Java based VCS package for a project that's been discontinued since 2020. [a] The PKGBUILD has last been updated in 2018 and it is not conformant anymore with current Arch Java package guidelines. But this outdated XML language server is not needed: AUR has the 'lemminx' package which is a new and currently developed XML language server, hosted by the Eclipse foundation's GitHub repo. [a]: https://github.com/microclimate-devops/xml-language-server [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/xml-language-server-git/

[PRQ#42399] Deletion Request for avogadro2
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Jul '23

23 Jul '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for avogadro2 [2]: Duplicate of AUR/avogadroapp: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/avogadroapp The latter has been longer on AUR, since 2020, this one was uploaded in 2022. The earlier package is more proper because the name of the source repo itself is avogadroapp. Whereas "Avogadro 2" is the umbrella name of the whole project, consisting of separate repositories for the library and the application. Both packages are up-to-date (v1.97.0). This package has 0 votes and only 1 user comment, complaining about a build error. There are no dependent packages relying on this name.

[PRQ#42425] Deletion Request for python-treecorr-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Jul '23

23 Jul '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-treecorr-git [2]: Wrong VCS package, abandoned since years. It was badly configured so it hasn't built the latest version of the code but the latest stable branch. Former maintainer is MIA since 2020 at least when it comes to updating their packages. Better to delete this defunct package There is a maintained and up-to-date AUR/python-treecorr package.

23 Jul '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for daed-bin-x64-v3 [2]: Newly submitted binary package with a wrong name. Please delete. @Integral, please kindly resubmit this package under a new, proper name, like the following: 'daed-x64-v3-bin' Thank you.
