by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Sep '23

23 Sep '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for metamorphose2 [2]: This old Python2 package is not needed. There is a Python3-based fork, currently available as a VCS package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/metamorphose2-python3-git [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/metamorphose2/

[PRQ#44298] Deletion Request for sdl2_ttf-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Sep '23

23 Sep '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for sdl2_ttf-git [2]: Broken, abandoned VCS pkg from 2021, MIA owner (@shoober420). Upstream now defaults to sdl3 development branch, so in its current state this package is wrong, misleading. But the package has had problems earlier, as it hadn't been kept up- to-date with upstream dependency changes. There is only one comment from a year ago about breaking issues. But as no one has stepped up to maintain this package, I think it is time to sunset it. Even if fixed, there wouldn't be much benefit: upstream will focus on SDL3, so updates to SDL2 will be rare. Extra repo still carries the latest stable version. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/sdl2_ttf-git/

[PRQ#44296] Deletion Request for lib32-sdl2-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Sep '23

23 Sep '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-sdl2-git [2]: Broken, orphan VCS pkg from 2021 (made by @shoober420). Upstream now defaults to sdl3 development branch, so in its current state this package is wrong, misleading. But there has been many problems even earlier. There are three user comments in the last two years, all about breaking issues. But as no one has stepped up to maintain this package, I think it is time to sunset it. Even if fixed, there wouldn't be much benefit: upstream will focus on SDL3, so updates to SDL2 will be rare. Multilib repo still carries the latest stable version.

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-sdl2_ttf-git [2]: Abandoned pkg from 2021, MIA owner (@shoober420). Upstream now defaults to sdl3 development branch, so in its current state this package is wrong, misleading. Not useful to keep, and it seems no one is interested: 1 vote, 0 comments.

[PRQ#44294] Deletion Request for lib32-freetype2-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Sep '23

23 Sep '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-freetype2-git [2]: Abandoned lib32 VCS pkg from 2020 by MIA owner (@shoober420). With non-monotonic pkgver(). Hasn't been kept in sync with upstream and repo package: doesn't use meson, no lib32-brotli depends, and lacks Arch repo's custom patches. But seems people generally don't need this package: 2 votes, 0 comments. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/lib32-freetype2-git/

[PRQ#44292] Deletion Request for electron-builder
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Sep '23

23 Sep '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for electron-builder [2]: Outdated electron-builder from Dec 2022, one-time effort. I recommend deletion, for the following main reasons: - nothing depends on it on AUR, - each Electron application defines which electron-builder and electron to use for the build - Electron-based applications on Arch should prefer depending on an existing electron package instead of building their own. So overall I see not much usefulness of this package here. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/electron-builder/

[PRQ#44291] Deletion Request for bitwarden-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Sep '23

23 Sep '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for bitwarden-git [2]: Broken, orphan VCS package, last updated 18 months ago. Cannot build due to relying on too old electron and nonexistent old lts release of nodejs. I recommend deletion, since there is no visible interest in maintaining it. Repo carries the stable package.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Sep '23

23 Sep '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-cernlib [2]: Not updated since 2016, one-time effort. Makes no sense to use lib32 of a scientific library on 64-bit systems. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/lib32-cernlib/
