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

23 Sep '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-benchmark [2]: Orphan and OOD for 1+ year. Seems this lib32 "microbenchmark support library" is not needed by anyone or anything. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/lib32-benchmark/

[PRQ#44285] Deletion Request for atk-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Sep '23

23 Sep '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for atk-git [2]: Abandoned VCS pkg from 2020 by MIA owner (@shoober420). With non-monotonic pkgver(). But it seems no one needs this anymore: the few comments are all from 2018 or earlier. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/atk-git/

[PRQ#44282] Deletion Request for lib32-wxgtk3
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Sep '23

23 Sep '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-wxgtk3 [2]: Abandoned orphan lib32 package, last updated 2 years ago. Nothing depends on it. I flagged it a year ago, no one volunteered to maintain it. (I don't have any use for it.) Out of alignment with repo's renamed wxwidgets-gtk3 and its naming of the wxconfig executable. Last user comments are from 2021. Then last month, @FabioLolix asked if anyone uses it, and only I replied that I don't see signs of usage. Its last consuming application was pcsx2-git before 2021, then that package dropped the bin32 build. Therefore I recommend deletion, and it's safe to do so.

23 Sep '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-lcms [2]: Orphan, unused lib32 package from 2018, when it was dropped from repo. Nothing depends on it.

[PRQ#44271] Deletion Request for poppler-lcd
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Sep '23

23 Sep '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for poppler-lcd [2]: Orphan. Modded variant of repo package poppler from 2 years ago. The custom patches for LCD subixel rendering have been abandoned since 2021. This feature would be of marginal usefulness in this day and age, since even 'just' FullHD (1080p) screens have enough pixel density that properly pixel-hinted (but not subpixel-hinted) font rendering can create crisp-looking text. Subpixel rendering is also tricky, because there is a myriad variety of LCD subpixel arrangements, and the algorithm should be prepared to support the actual one that the users's screen has, and it has to be configurable, otherwise the whole endeavor makes no sense and just worsens the rendered output. Though Qt5/6 poppler renders in worse quality than the base poppler package with gtk/cairo backend, that has nothing to do with subpixel rendering, and more to do with poppler maintainer's unwillingness to support cairo backend for poppler-qt for somewhat questionable reasons (fear of bugs, but he is hostile to anyone else willing to help out with contributing to and improving the Qt code for cairo).
