[PRQ#45046] Deletion Request for pybitmessage
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Oct '23

02 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for pybitmessage [2]: Broken Python2 application, reported as such since Nov 2022. There seems to be no fix available, and also the former maintainer of pybitmessage-git was unable to resolve the problems. Upstream seems to be releasing experimental Python3 based AppImages, but not source code (at least I was not able to find such via a quick search). Better to delete this defunct package.

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for pybitmessage-git [2]: Orphan, broken Python2 VCS package from 2019.

[PRQ#45044] Deletion Request for nodejs-normit-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Oct '23

02 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for nodejs-normit-git [2]: Development in public GitHub repo discontinued since May 2017. [a] The latest released version was published in 2017 after the last public commit, therefore it is not available in GitHub repo, only on npmjs. [b] Consequently, there is no point in keeping this VCS package. Supposing it still works, the newer version can be easily installed with npm. [a]: https://github.com/pawurb/normit [b]: https://www.npmjs.com/package/normit [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/nodejs-normit-git/

[PRQ#45004] Deletion Request for buck-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Oct '23

02 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for buck-git [2]: Orphan, unneeded Python2 + Java VCS package from 2020. Upstream repo readme says: "Use Buck2 - This repo is dead. Please see https://github.com/facebook/buck2 for the build system that replaces it." [a] There's still a stable package for this on AUR, carrying the last release version.

[PRQ#45001] Deletion Request for mssql-cli
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Oct '23

02 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mssql-cli [2]: Orphan package, deprecated and replaced by upstream with the following new package: https://github.com/microsoft/go-sqlcmd There's an AUR package for that: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/go-sqlcmd The new sqlcmd is at v1.2.1, and is considered stable and mature by Microsoft. Safe to delete this unneeded legacy package. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/mssql-cli/

[PRQ#44983] Deletion Request for python-certifi-system-store
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Oct '23

02 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-certifi-system-store [2]: Unneeded Python package from 2021, which, in its functionality, links to the system-installed trusted certificates store to provide access to them through a shim python-certifi module. But Arch repo's python-certifi is custom-patched via its PKGBUILD to do exactly the same.

[PRQ#44964] Deletion Request for glslang-minimal-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Oct '23

02 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for glslang-minimal-git [2]: Abandoned variant VCS pkg from 2020, by MIA owner @shoober420. It doesn't seem too useful: it just disables some capabilities during build, but it does not make the build significantly faster, nor the resulting library package smaller. Also it uses an undocumented $NINJAFLAGS option during package(). But in the end there is no sign anyone needs this: 1 vote, 0 comments.

01 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gnome-terminal-urgent-hint [2]: Abandoned, old 4-commit fork of gnome-terminal from 2020; one-time effort; VCS package in disguise. Latest version is available from repo. Not useful to keep. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/gnome-terminal-urgent-hint/
