[PRQ#48580] Merge Request for laditools
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Feb '24

26 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge laditools [2] into laditools-git [3]: The Python2 based AUR/laditools uses GitHub user @alessio's fork, which has not been maintained since 2016. (Current stable v1.1.0 is from 2015.) Original upstream got revived on GitHub this year as LADI/laditools, and already supports Python3. The latter project does not create release tags. I propose to consolidate the project's related AUR packages so that users find only those that are maintained by upstream, and also allow them to receive timely updates, as ironing out the remaining kinks on Python3 is still ongoing.

[PRQ#48579] Deletion Request for linux-vanilla-selinux-419
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Feb '24

26 Feb '24

a821 [1] filed a deletion request for linux-vanilla-selinux-419 [2]: Orphan, out of date for two years, no votes. This package is 128 versions behind latest kernel 4.19. It's clear to me that there's no interest in it, so it can be removed. Users can install the alternative package linux-lts419 which is up-to-date.

[PRQ#48535] Deletion Request for cura-5-plugin-octoprint
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Feb '24

26 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for cura-5-plugin-octoprint [2]: Rename and resubmit as 'cura-plugin-octoprint' But don't create two split packages with only a different dash in their names. (Currently this PKGBUILD creates the following split packages: - cura5-plugin-octoprint - cura-5-plugin-octoprint) Latest version of cura is 5.4.0, that is why it is needed to eliminate the major version number from the pkgname. Also, upstream does not maintain different stable major versions in parallel. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/cura-5-plugin-octoprint/

[PRQ#48534] Deletion Request for cura-5-beta-bin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Feb '24

26 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for cura-5-beta-bin [2]: As of now this is the same version as cura-bin (latest 5.4.0 stable). If needed, resubmit a new beta package under the proper name, 'cura- beta-bin'. There is no point in pinning the major version in a beta package. Upstream does not maintain parallel major versions.

[PRQ#48520] Deletion Request for mutt-kiss
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Feb '24

26 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mutt-kiss [2]: Unmaintained variant of repo's mutt, currently 2 point releases behind (last updated in 2023-03). Name suffix, '-kiss', is not a useful qualifier. Also having this email client without its networking protocol support (POP/IMAP/SMTP/SSL) does not seem useful.
