by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 28 Mar '24

28 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for perl-tk-fontdialog [2]: Safe to delete this broken Perl module (last release from 2017), after dropping its only (optional) consumer, the broken qle with missing sources (PRQ#51402).

[PRQ#52375] Deletion Request for armory
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 28 Mar '24

28 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for armory [2]: This dead Python2 based, discontinued application, last released in 2018 [a] should be deleted *again*, because it is no less broken than when it was dropped on Nov 14, 2023 for PRQ#48074 [b]. Since that time, there are even more breakages in its legacy dependency chain, so it is unbuildable. @LaughingMan, please don't reupload dead, broken, unneeded packages that maybe only you yourself want to use. The previous comment history shows that the last user comment was made in 2017, and previous maintainer commented twice in 2019. [c] No one had sent any feedback on this package for years despite likely being broken already in 2019 [d], but definitely unbuildable on Arch Linux since Nov 2021, when most Python2 packages have been dropped from repo, after which date at no point in time were all of this package's dependencies were in a working condition.

[PRQ#52449] Deletion Request for tensorflow-amd-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Mar '24

27 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for tensorflow-amd-git [2]: Duplicte non-VCS package of AUR/tensorflow-rocm. The latter also conforms better to upstream fork's name. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/tensorflow-amd-git/

[PRQ#51995] Deletion Request for netctl-eduroam
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Mar '24

27 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for netctl-eduroam [2]: Unused, old dummy/example VLAN / WiFi-roaming configuration from 2017. Every institution has their own config and setup guide. So it's absolutely pointless to install a generic config system-wide. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/netctl-eduroam/

[PRQ#52692] Deletion Request for upcheck
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Mar '24

27 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for upcheck [2]: Broken VCS package in disguise. Source unmaintained since 2019. Cannot be built. Upstream GitLab repo gone (behind loginwall). [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/upcheck/

[PRQ#51873] Deletion Request for libsynaptics
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Mar '24

27 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for libsynaptics [2]: Broken, discontinued, unused legacy Synaptics driver from 2007. Cannot be built due to missing dependency. Safe to delete: nothing depends on it. Nowadays, libinput handles even Synaptics touchpads well, but extra repo also carries the xf86-input-synaptics driver for legacy devices.

[PRQ#50481] Deletion Request for telepathy-morse-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Mar '24

26 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for telepathy-morse-git [2]: All telepathy-kde* packages have been dropped from Arch repos and also from AUR, because they have been discontinued by upstream since April 2023 and most of the connection modules were already defunct anyway. This package no longer has any existing and working telepathy-qt5 based IM applications to be used with. Also its upstream is abandoned since 2020.

[PRQ#50352] Deletion Request for nerolinux3
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Mar '24

26 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for nerolinux3 [2]: Defunct proprietary optical media burning software last released in 2009, needing a registration key to work. 32-bit software, so pkgname should have had the 'bin32-' prefix. Release archives are no longer offered by upstream, and the currently declared source array pointing to a file hosted by getsoft.sibnet.ru leads to a 404 not found error. I propose deletion: not useful to keep. Nowadays there are many good, free open-source alternatives for this use case.

[PRQ#50312] Deletion Request for lxd516
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Mar '24

26 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lxd516 [2]: Unneeded older version of extra/lxd. Conflicts with the repo package, so it does not conform to AUR submission guidelines that rules against duplicating repo packages, even if different versions. If there is a compatibility issue or defect in repo's lxd package, file a bug report. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/lxd516/

[PRQ#50660] Deletion Request for artwork-maia
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Mar '24

26 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for artwork-maia [2]: This is a defunct, unmaintained KDE Plasma 5.10 theme package from 5 years ago. I've tried it in 2019 and it had many missing icons and graphical inconsistencies. I doubt things would be any better now. Manjaro itself seems to have dropped the 'plasma5-themes-maia' and 'sddm-maia-theme' from their distro repo. (But again, the icon theme subpackage is also not useful anymore.) It does not help that this is a VCS PKGBUILD in disguise, as there's no upstream update since 2018.
