[PRQ#44944] Deletion Request for lib32-gstreamer0.10-good
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Oct '23

01 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-gstreamer0.10-good [2]: Broken legacy lib32 package from 2017. Reported broken since 2018. As no one stepped up to maintain it since, and as after 2018 only my own interaction from 2021 and 2022 can be seen on this page, I recommend deletion. The lib32-gstreamer0.10-bad package already got deleted in Dec 2021 (PRQ#30290) due to being broken and seemingly not used by anyone for many years, just like this one.

[PRQ#44924] Deletion Request for shortwave-bin-hack
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Oct '23

01 Oct '23

eclairevoyant [1] filed a deletion request for shortwave-bin-hack [2]: Package without proper justification to exist, as prev maintainer said it is "full of hacks" to try to patch a prebuilt binary, and doesn't build from source (so naming is wrong regardless) [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/eclairevoyant/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/shortwave-bin-hack/

[PRQ#44903] Merge Request for transmission-remote-gui
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Oct '23

01 Oct '23

xiota [1] filed a request to merge transmission-remote-gui [2] into transgui [3]: Duplicate of `transgui`. Should be merged into `transgui` because that is the upstream project name. https://github.com/transmission- remote-gui/transgui [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/xiota/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/transmission-remote-gui/ [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/transgui/

[PRQ#45070] Deletion Request for glxosd-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Oct '23

01 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for glxosd-git [2]: Broken orphan package from 2016. Project discontinued since 2017. [a] MangoHud is a Vulkan-based functional replacement of this, which is also compatible with Wayland, not just X11. Latter is available in Arch repos in both native x86_64 as well as lib32 builds.

[PRQ#44908] Deletion Request for texstudio-lcd
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Oct '23

01 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for texstudio-lcd [2]: Abandoned old variant from 2019 of repo's texstudio. Patched for supporting some kind of subpixel font hinting. I flagged it a year ago, but nothing happened. The package is quite a mess: defines lots of unnecessary dependencies, like qt4 in addition to qt5, python2 and python3 (neither is needed), the legacy openjpeg pkg, etc. It also builds and embeds its own poppler instead of relying on a separate package as a dependency. But it seems this package is not attracting the attention of anyone anymore: 1 vote, and only 3 comments from or before 2019. Also, in my experience, subpixel font rendering is not necessary on at least 1080p LCD screens, as per my not-very-high-end 2016 ASUS 15.4" laptop with such a screen proves.

[PRQ#44907] Deletion Request for fluid-designer
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Oct '23

01 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for fluid-designer [2]: Discontinued fork/mod of blender 2.7 from 2017. Orphan package, doesn't build, it would need a lot of patching, as seen in AUR/blender-2.7 package. But there seems to be no interest in this one: 2 votes, and only a few comments from or before 2017.

[PRQ#44906] Deletion Request for mingw-w64-openjpeg
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Oct '23

01 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mingw-w64-openjpeg [2]: Unused legacy openjpeg1 build from 2017. I think it is safe to delete. AUR has a w64 package for openjpeg2, which is the currently maintained library. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/mingw-w64-openjpeg/

01 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ddroom-git [2]: Discontinued since 2017 [a], fails to build since 2020 as per AUR comments. It seems best to delete this VCS package.

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-tslib [2]: Since 2020, nothing depends on this lib32 package. I recommend deletion. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/lib32-tslib/
