[PRQ#47419] Deletion Request for cherrytree-bin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 10 Feb '24

10 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for cherrytree-bin [2]: This is a badly maintained package. Earler, owner updated it to 1.0.0 without adjusting the dependencies accordingly. I left a detailed feedback in a comment, listing all the needed changes, backing it up with the output of a namcap analysis. Then, instead of fixing the dependencies, owner just downgraded the package to 0.99.37 without bumping the epoch. In addition, owner chose to make the PKGBUILD extract the tarball directly into the $pkgdir, keeping the upstream files' ownership and access attributes. I don't think it is useful to keep this on AUR. Arch maintainers competently take care of the package for this in extra repo, which is on the latest upstream version (not even 1.0.0 but 1.0.1 as of now, released on August 25th, 2023).

[PRQ#47308] Deletion Request for backintime-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 10 Feb '24

10 Feb '24

buhtz [1] filed a deletion request for backintime-git [2]: Hello, can you please remove your package from AUR because, different to its name, it does not reflect the latest state of upstream git repo. And I don't know a way to keep it up to date automatically. A *-git package in AUR just increase the support burden for us at upstream. Users often tell us the installed "Back In Time from Arch" and we have to figuring out which one it is.
