[PRQ#43779] Deletion Request for python-construct-288
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Aug '23

27 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-construct-288 [2]: Orphan, legacy, pinned version variant of repo's python-construct. Not needed, as per last comment from 2022-07 from former owner: they used it previously with one package, but at that point in time this workaround had become unnecessary.

[PRQ#43774] Deletion Request for python-funcsigs
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Aug '23

27 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-funcsigs [2]: Please delete this. Funcsigs is a backport of a Python 3.3+ standard feature (PEP362) to Python 2.6, 2.7, and 3.2. As none of the Python3 packages on AUR require Python 3.2, this is redundant. Also this addons has not been extensively tested above Python 3.5.

[PRQ#43765] Deletion Request for teamspeak3-kde-link-fix-hack
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Aug '23

27 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for teamspeak3-kde-link-fix-hack [2]: Unneeded package, functionally a duplicate of the earlier-existing 'teamspeak3-kde-wrapper'. This package also violates Arch packaging guidelines by putting a script in '/usr/local/bin'. What's more, that script is named xdg-open, and with that, it will shadow the /usr/bin/xdg-open script installed on most desktop systems by xdg-utils package. The intention of this package is to unset some environment variables set by teamspeak3 which causes desktop integration issues on KDE. But this solution will affect every process that is opened via xdg-open, not just teamspeak3. So I am asking for the deletion of this bad 'hack'. The 'teamspeak3-kde-wrapper' is a much more civilized solution to the same problem.
