[PRQ#51699] Deletion Request for compiz-boxmenu
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 08 Feb '24

08 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for compiz-boxmenu [2]: It seems it is best to delete this package now. It is on the last release, from 2015 ([a]). Its mandatory dependency, python2-lxml segfaults on tests due to ABI- incompatibility with current Arch Linux libraries (libxml2, libxslt). Even with the latter installed (after skipping its tests), compiz- boxmenu-autoconfig, which is recommended to be executed first, fails to run due to missing the Python 2 module 'compizconfig'. There seem to be no such module available on AUR anymore. If compiz-boxmenu is still useful, I recommend creating a git VCS package for upstream's master branch, which seems to be still maintained, and is already ported to Gtk3 and Python3.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 08 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for libdvbpsi8 [2]: Unneeded legacy library package from 2016. Fails to build from source. Its sole consumer was acestream-player-data from 2015. That has was deleted in Nov 2020 for being abandoned by upstream (PRQ#22428). [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/libdvbpsi8/

[PRQ#51157] Deletion Request for openfortivpn-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 07 Feb '24

07 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for openfortivpn-git [2]: Unneeded non-VCS package, uses a fixed commit tarball from Feb 13, 2022. Repo's openfortivpn is much newer. Also it is not useful to keep even a proper VCS package, as upstream is minimally maintained, mostly with config and documentation and CI housekeeping. Moreover, the backend service, Fortinet VPN is being phased out. Users are already experiencing connection problems even with the latest stable version of this unsupported unofficial client library. Fortinet is shifting its focus to its integrated upmarket offerings for enterprises. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/openfortivpn-git/
