[PRQ#48780] Deletion Request for mediathekview-xdg
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Feb '24

26 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mediathekview-xdg [2]: Duplicate of extra/mediathekview, with a minimally modified launcher script. XDG specification support is a fundamental goal of Arch Linux. If a repo package could be enhanced to better respect that spec, one should file an upstream issue and/or an Arch Linux bug with a suggested patch, instead of recreating Arch repo builds on AUR.

[PRQ#48746] Merge Request for conky-lua-nv
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Feb '24

26 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge conky-lua-nv [2] into conky- cairo [3]: 'conky-lua-nv' is actually a duplicate of 'conky-cairo'. Lua support is mandatory on all conky 1.10+ versions. Both packages are built with NVIDIA and full Cairo support, despite the fact that conky-lua-nv does not list cairo as a dependency. As extra repo's conky is also built with Lua and NVIDIA features, keeping conky-lua-nv is superfluous. (Btw extra/conky also supports the cairo library, but does not seem to enable Lua bindings for that - there's a pending ticket for it: FS#77168 [a].) I've notified users of 'conky-lua-nv', via comments, to switch over to either extra/conky or to AUR/conky-cairo - first on 2023-08-20, then again on 2023-10-11. [a]: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/77168 [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/conky-lua-nv/ [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/conky-cairo/

[PRQ#48865] Deletion Request for aguilas
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Feb '24

26 Feb '24

a821 [1] filed a deletion request for aguilas [2]: The upstream repo was archived in March 2022. It seems this package was never finished because the PKGBUILD generates an empty package; the package() function has had a "find" command since the first commit in 2014, which does nothing.

[PRQ#49014] Deletion Request for squirrelmail-plugin-secure_login
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Feb '24

26 Feb '24

a821 [1] filed a deletion request for squirrelmail-plugin-secure_login [2]: Old squirrelmail plugin last released in 2008. No votes, no comments, no reverse depends. This package has been broken for ages because it misses the package function(). No one noticed this until I did last week, so I notified the maintainer, but it was disowned instead. Safe to delete.
