[PRQ#47723] Deletion Request for linuxcnc-sim
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 17 Feb '24

17 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for linuxcnc-sim [2]: Duplicate of AUR/linuxcnc, and currently has an older pkgver than that one. As per submitter's explanation: " -sim means simulation. LinuxCNC needs special kernel with realtime extensions (RTAI/preempt-rt). This PKGCONFIG hasn't got dependency of an RTAI kernel (it works with the stock kernel), so this is only OK for simulation. The other linuxcnc could have/should have to work with real-time kernel and good for a real CNC machine... " But somewhat contrary to the above statement, the linuxcnc package can also be built and run on vanilla kernels, in simulation mode. Because that PKGBUILD does not mandate any kernel type/variant/version (no linux kernel declared as dependency). There is no meaningful build configuration difference between the two packages (only formatting differences). It's enough to keep one linuxcnc package.

[PRQ#47634] Deletion Request for qt5-pbfimageplugin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 17 Feb '24

17 Feb '24

tumic [1] filed a deletion request for qt5-pbfimageplugin [2]: As GPXsee (I don't know any other "widespread" SW using the plugin) is for a long time compiled using Qt6 in Arch, this package is of no use today and due to the broken CMake file (which is Arch/AUR specific, the QtPBFImagePlugin project does not ship that file) it even breaks compilation of other Qt5 packages, so I really do not see any reason for the package to exist... Updating the package also does not make sense as the Qt6-based package definitely should have a different name like "qt6-pbfimageplugin".

[PRQ#49312] Deletion Request for gpxsee-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 17 Feb '24

17 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gpxsee-git [2]: Abandoned, broken Qt5 based VCS package from 2020. Upstream now requires Qt6. Extra repo carries the latest stable release, already on Qt6. Seems not useful to keep this git build, without any apparent interest from maintainers and users. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/gpxsee-git/

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 17 Feb '24

Users should migrate to a newer JDK/JRE. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/zulu-14-bin/

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 17 Feb '24

17 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for zulu-13-bin [2]: Cleanup of EOL JDK packages. Azul Zulu JDK 13 was a medium-term support release, with commercial support until March 2023. From then on, Azul only provides paid 'extended support' "to advise and assist users to migrate to a newer JDK version".
