[PRQ#48697] Deletion Request for greeklayoutwithdotonnumpad
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Feb '24

26 Feb '24

a821 [1] filed a deletion request for greeklayoutwithdotonnumpad [2]: This PKGBUILD does not create a package. Instead, it's a horrible hack that uses sudo to patch a file provided by 'extra/xkeyboard-config'.

[PRQ#48693] Deletion Request for ucutag-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Feb '24

26 Feb '24

a821 [1] filed a deletion request for ucutag-git [2]: This software was created as an university course project. Development stopped just after submission to the AUR. It doesn't fulfill the usefulness criteria of the guidelines IMHO. The PKGBUILD does not follow the guidelines (cloning in build(), sudo in package()), which was pointed out a year ago and never fixed.

[PRQ#48692] Deletion Request for firefoxext
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Feb '24

26 Feb '24

a821 [1] filed a deletion request for firefoxext [2]: There are issues in the PKGBUILD pointed in the comments (notably sudo in package()) that have not been fixed in more than a year. Maintainer is upstream and development stopped a little after the AUR submission (Mar-2022). There are no votes and nothing requires this. It doesn't seem this is useful.

[PRQ#48690] Deletion Request for stallman
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Feb '24

26 Feb '24

a821 [1] filed a deletion request for stallman [2]: One time effort from 2020. PKGBUILD uses sudo in package which was pointed out about a year ago and has been never fixed. I would also argue that this program could potentially break your system because it removes "non-free" packages: it uses "sudo pacman -R" in its source code. The non-free list is taken from parabola linux, so if someone is really concerned with non-free software, I would recommend to just use parabola directly. IMHO this script is useless in arch due to arch not caring about free/non-free philosophy. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/a821/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/stallman/

[PRQ#48679] Deletion Request for python-pynfft
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Feb '24

26 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-pynfft [2]: Broken, discontinued Python package. No release published since 2014. [a] Nothing depends on it. [a]: https://pypi.org/project/pyNFFT/ [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-pynfft/

[PRQ#48677] Merge Request for chirp-hg
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Feb '24

26 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge chirp-hg [2] into chirp-next [3]: The '-hg' packages are long defunct, as upstream has migrated to GitHub. But also those legacy packages are abandoned and unmaintained. There's no '-git' package, but 'chirp-next' is essentially equivalent, providing frequent snapshot updates. I mentioned this recommendation to users in a comment.

[PRQ#48673] Deletion Request for openatrium
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Feb '24

26 Feb '24

a821 [1] filed a deletion request for openatrium [2]: Abandoned package. It's been out of date since 2016 and also broken due to missing the package() function. Upstream support ended on 31.10.22 (https://www.drupal.org/project/openatrium). [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/a821/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/openatrium/

[PRQ#48672] Deletion Request for prosepoint
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Feb '24

26 Feb '24

a821 [1] filed a deletion request for prosepoint [2]: Abandoned package. Last upstream version (0.46) was released in 2013 [3]. Seems like it was imported outdated from AUR-3, never to be changed (0.32 was released in 2010 [4]). Safe to delete. [3] https://launchpad.net/prosepoint/+announcement/11076 [4] https://launchpad.net/prosepoint/trunk/0.32 [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/a821/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/prosepoint/

[PRQ#48539] Deletion Request for cura-5-modern-beta-bin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Feb '24

26 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for cura-5-modern-beta-bin [2]: This is currently the same version, 5.4.0, as the stable cura-bin. If needed, please resubmit later without the pinned major version 5 in the name: cura-modern-beta-bin. (There is no point in pinning the major version number in the beta package name. Also, upstream does not maintain parallel major releases.) [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/cura-5-modern-beta-bin/
