[PRQ#49055] Deletion Request for java-15-openjdk
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 17 Feb '24

17 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for java-15-openjdk [2]: Cleanup of JDK 15 short-term support packages. JDK 15 is EOL since 2021-03-15; not even security patches get delivered after that date. Users should migrate to a newer JDK/JRE. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/java-15-openjdk/

[PRQ#49116] Deletion Request for phatch
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 17 Feb '24

17 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for phatch [2]: Defunct, unused Python2 based image batch processing GUI application from 2014. python2-wxpython3 is a broken dependency. Not worth keeping: there are very good, working, currently maintained and developed alternatives (one that I've used myself is Digikam).

[PRQ#53146] Merge Request for librtlsdr-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 17 Feb '24

17 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge librtlsdr-git [2] into rtl-sdr- librtlsdr-git [3]: Eliminating duplication. 'librtlsdr-git' was submitted on 2022-11-08. 'rtl-sdr-librtlsdr-git' was published on 2020-09-08. 'librtlsdr-git' has never been updated and was orphaned long ago. Was always broken as well (missing a makedepend). Plus it never declared the proper provides and conflicts entries. Arch extra repo's name is rtl-sdr. AUR/rtl-sdr-librtlsdr-git is a working build for the 'librtlsdr' fork, with adequate provides/conflicts metadata.

[PRQ#50609] Deletion Request for gedit2
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 17 Feb '24

17 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gedit2 [2]: Unbuildable old version of gedit from 2010. Has been broken for years on AUR at least due to broken dependencies, then missing Python2 deps, then incompetently replaced deps. It seems though that this build has zero prospective users on AUR, so it's not beneficial to keep. Also, there's virtually no pure-Gtk2 desktop environments available anymore in Arch/AUR repos. So it's not practical to stick to decade-old versions of GUI applications just for the sake of gtk2. (The AUR/gtk3-classic patched fork restores desktop window menu bar support and other traditional desktop GUI features for apps running on non-GNOME desktops. It's much better to use that with the gtk3 build of this pkg. Project is also active and welcomes further suggestions and patches.)

[PRQ#50358] Deletion Request for vtk-nowraps
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 17 Feb '24

17 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for vtk-nowraps [2]: Unneeded older duplicate of extra repo's vtk. The latter only optdepends on java and python, so there's zero benefit in keeping this package, even if updated and maintained.
