[PRQ#43680] Deletion Request for gnome-clocks-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Jul '23

05 Jul '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gnome-clocks-git [2]: Abandoned VCS package from 2019, one-time effort. Broken since 2020 as per OOD flag. But as it seems no one requested disowning in the last 3 years in order to take over maintenance, I recommend deletion instead. Arch repo carries the stable package.

[PRQ#43679] Deletion Request for codon-bin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Jul '23

05 Jul '23

kseistrup [1] filed a deletion request for codon-bin [2]: I'm sorry, I clicked the wrong buttons. I do NOT wish to delete the package, I just wanted to flag it out of date with a version notification for myself so that I can update it tomorrow. I have had a very very long day and I don't have the energy to update it today. I'm sorry for my clumsiness.

[PRQ#42161] Deletion Request for openblas-lapack-static
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Jul '23

05 Jul '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for openblas-lapack-static [2]: Orphaned package. Also outdated. And now it has a wrong name as well. As repo has introduced the same package under the 'blas-openblas' name, providing all the interfaces as this package.

[PRQ#41970] Deletion Request for bzip2-with-lbzip2-symlinks
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Jul '23

05 Jul '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for bzip2-with-lbzip2-symlinks [2]: Unmaintained, orphaned alternative of [core] bzip2. Last updated in 2019. This is actually a package that replaces bzip2 binaries with lbzip2 ones. But since it is out of maintenance for a long time, it is not at parity with Arch [core] bzip2, e.g. it does not carry the pkgconf file introduced by Arch to aid building downstream packages. I recommend to delete it as it seems no one is using it. There are no votes or comments.

[PRQ#43607] Deletion Request for ytdownloader-appimage
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Jul '23

05 Jul '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ytdownloader-appimage [2]: Duplicate of the following AUR package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ytdownloader-gui The latter is up on upstream's website as the official Arch Linux package. This is an Electron-based application, so an AppImage is not conforming to the packaging guidelines. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/ytdownloader-appimage/

[PRQ#43419] Deletion Request for camfr
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Jul '23

05 Jul '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for camfr [2]: Complex scientific computation software, abandoned package since 2017. Reported broken since 2020. VCS package in disguise. But the used fork is discontinued since 2017. [a] Still uses python2 and its numpy, matplotlib and scipy. I recommend deletion, because of its extremely niche nature, and because of lack of maintenance. [a]: https://github.com/jtambasco/camfr [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/camfr/
