[PRQ#52327] Deletion Request for notification-daemon-gtk2
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 13 Apr '24

13 Apr '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for notification-daemon-gtk2 [2]: Not useful to keep this defunct GNOME2 lib from 2010. There is no GNOME2 or other Gtk2-based desktop environment available in Arch/AUR repos. And Gtk2 applications work just fine with [extra] repo's Gtk3-based notification-daemon. The package is frequently broken due to relying on unmaintained legacy dependencies like gstreamer0.10.

[PRQ#52930] Deletion Request for xfce4-genmon-plugin-gtk2
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 13 Apr '24

13 Apr '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for xfce4-genmon-plugin-gtk2 [2]: The Gtk2 based Xfce4 has been EOL for 5+ years now. (With some components having been last released even earlier, 7 years ago, in 2017.) This package mistakenly declares 'xfce4-panel' as its dependency, which is carried by Arch repo and uses the latest version with gtk3. But the true dependency of this, 'xfce4-panel-gtk2' (released in 2017) fails to build from source, just like many other Xfce4-Gtk2 packages on AUR. All Xfce4 distro packages using Gtk2 are pending deletion now (actually some have already been accepted by a PM to be dropped). Not useful to keep this. Arch extra repo carries the current version of xfce4-genmon-plugin (based on gtk3). [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/xfce4-genmon-plugin-gtk2/

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for compizconfig-backend- kconfig4 [2]: Broken, unused Qt4/KDE4 package from 2015. Upstream and source URL leads to nonexistent server (connection timeout). There's also no KDE4 desktop environment available on Arch/AUR. And KDE4's AUR/kdelibs has been unbuildable for almost a year.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 07 Apr '24

07 Apr '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ffmpeg4.4-v4l2-request-git [2]: ARM-only packages belong to ArchLinuxARM.org repos, not AUR: https://archlinuxarm.org/packages https://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=2675 https://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=4 They do host even '-git' packages. AUR is primarily for Arch Linux, so packages here must work with the x86_64 architecture: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_package_guidelines#Architectures [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/ffmpeg4.4-v4l2-request-git/
