[PRQ#47537] Deletion Request for firebirdsql-server
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Feb '24

04 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for firebirdsql-server [2]: Functionally equivalent duplicate of the earlier-existing AUR/firebird. [a] (This PKGBUILD is an almost 100% line-to-line copy of that one's.) Submitted on 2023-04-07 and never updated. Now an orphan package. Upstream's repo and release tarball name is 'firebird', not 'firebirdsql', so the other package aligns better with that, and with Arch PKGBUILD guidelines calling for sticking to upstream's release tarball name if possible. No AUR merge necessary, as there are no comments or votes here. [a]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/firebird [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/firebirdsql-server/

[PRQ#48152] Deletion Request for gcr-338
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Feb '24

04 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gcr-338 [2]: Conflicting older version of extra/gcr, which is not allowed to be kept on AUR as per submission guidelines. Also no package needs this particular build. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/gcr-338/

[PRQ#49204] Deletion Request for gsettings-desktop-schemas-rel-338
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Feb '24

04 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gsettings-desktop-schemas- rel-338 [2]: Unneeded legacy gsettings-desktop-schemas, with pkgname suffix that does not conform to Arch package guidelines requiring to attach only the major version number as a single number. This actually builds v3.3.8, not v338. It also conflicts with extra/gsettings-desktop-schemas. AUR guidelines suggest not to upload same or different version of repo PKGBUILDs - which by implication means, at the least, not to upload conflicting same or different versions. Not used by any other AUR package, and there are no comments or votes. Doesn't seem to be beneficial for users. Safe to delete. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/gsettings-desktop-schemas-rel-338/

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Feb '24

04 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for yelp-xsl-338 [2]: Unneeded legacy yelp-xsl, with pkgname suffix that does not conform to Arch package guidelines requiring to attach only the major version number as a single number. This actually builds v3.3.8, not v338. It also conflicts with extra/yelp-xsl, without declaring it. AUR guidelines suggest not to upload same or different version of repo PKGBUILDs - which by implication means, at the least, not to upload conflicting same or different versions. Not used by any other AUR package, and there are no comments or votes. Doesn't seem to be beneficial for users. Safe to delete.

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for openbox-xdgmenu [2]: Unused GNOME2 based utility to from 2011. (Was used to migrate menu structure from Ubuntu to Openbox.) [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/openbox-xdgmenu/

[PRQ#52915] Deletion Request for python-qtconsole-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Feb '24

04 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-qtconsole-git [2]: This has been broken for years due to using a broken GitHub URL protocol (not supported since the beginning of 2022), and also due to not modernizing the dependencies (still depending on the long-obsolete sip4, for example). I don't think it's useful to keep in AUR any longer Arch repo carries the latest stable version. The AUR package only has one vote, and the last comments (2 in total) are from 2020. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-qtconsole-git/
