[PRQ#45489] Deletion Request for astk
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Oct '23

05 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for astk [2]: Orphan, old variant from 2016 of repo's tk. Was only used with legacy salome package modules from same year. All of those have been broken for years, and now their former maintainer, @gbs has disowned them, indicating that they don't need these anymore. Last user comments are from 2014.

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for fortune-mod-that70sshow [2]: Broken orphan content addon from 2016 to fortune-mod. Missing a makedepend. 0 comments. Seems unneeded and safe to delete.

[PRQ#45143] Deletion Request for python-mbed-manifest-tool
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Oct '23

02 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-mbed-manifest-tool [2]: Orphan niche package from 2021, last user comment is from same year. Meanwhile the latest version on PyPI is from this year. Better to delete this package, seems there is no interest in maintaining it here. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-mbed-manifest-tool/

[PRQ#45141] Deletion Request for qmail-qfilter
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Oct '23

02 Oct '23

a821 [1] filed a deletion request for qmail-qfilter [2]: Abandoned package from 2015. One vote. No reverse depends. `qmail` was deleted long ago, so I don't think this software would work. (also, there's no package() function, so makepkg throws an error) [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/a821/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/qmail-qfilter/

[PRQ#45140] Deletion Request for qtum-electrum
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Oct '23

02 Oct '23

a821 [1] filed a deletion request for qtum-electrum [2]: PKGBUILD uses `sudo pip install`. Moreover, the package is orphan and upstream has released at least 20 version since the last update. It seems no one needs this, so I think it can be deleted. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/a821/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/qtum-electrum/

[PRQ#45139] Deletion Request for qwinos-qtile-dracula
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Oct '23

02 Oct '23

a821 [1] filed a deletion request for qwinos-qtile-dracula [2]: PKGBUILD is utterly broken and worst, it's a security nightmare. The issue is that build() calls `sudo` on a script that calls `pacman` to install packages and also calls `pip install` with root rights. And in addition, the package() function is empty, so the resulting package is empty. This was noted last December, the maintainer promised to fix it last April but has not yet done so. I strongly recommend deletion. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/a821/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/qwinos-qtile-dracula/

[PRQ#45128] Deletion Request for perl-www-aur
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Oct '23

02 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for perl-www-aur [2]: This AURweb Perl bindings module has not been developed since 2016 and is broken. Only some also-broken and abandoned wrapper scripts depend on it, so it's safe to delete. (I've submitted separate deletion requests for the consuming scripts as well.)

[PRQ#45127] Deletion Request for checkupdates+aur
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Oct '23

02 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for checkupdates+aur [2]: This script from 2016 relies on Perl bindings for AURweb that have been abandoned since same year and are broken now. There's a functionally equivalent minimal wrapper script that uses up- to-date helper tools: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/checkupdates-with-aur It's best to delete this defunct package.
