[PRQ#45349] Deletion Request for nsfminer-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Oct '23

01 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for nsfminer-git [2]: Orphan package, last updated a year ago. Seems like a personal hard fork of ethminer, which has been discontinued since Apr 2022, and its repo is now archived. [a] Whereas this tool's repo is not read-only, but development stopped in Oct 2021, 6 months before upstream became dead. [b] On Sep 15, 2022, the original Ethereum was replaced by the incompatible Ethereum 2, which no longer requires coin mining because it is based on proof-of-stake, not proof-of-work like Ethereum 1. [c] Therefore old Ethereum tools like this one are no longer viable with the current mainstream version. (There is another community hard fork of ethminer called etcminer, which is still maintained. [d]) [a]: https://github.com/ethereum-mining/ethminer [b]: https://github.com/Titaniumtown/nsfminer [c]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethereum [d]: https://github.com/colin-i/etcminer [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/nsfminer-git/

[b] On Sep 15, 2022, the original Ethereum was replaced by the incompatible Ethereum 2, which no longer requires coin mining because it is based on proof-of-stake, not proof-of-work like Ethereum 1. [c] Therefore old Ethereum tools like this one are no longer viable with the current mainstream version. (There is another community hard fork of ethminer called etcminer, which is still maintained.

[PRQ#45357] Deletion Request for manga-downloader-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Oct '23

01 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for manga-downloader-git [2]: Orphan, broken VCS package from 2019. Though the project is kept alive, it is not trivial to fix the problems on AUR, because the also-orphaned python-pyexecjs is broken too, and is EOL since 2018. [a] Without a maintainer for either packages on AUR, users have better chances with installing the latest version of this from PyPI.
