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

24 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gwaei [2]: Broken, unbuildable since at least 3 years ago due to rarian's failure. No upstream release since 2013, and their website is gone. Better to delete. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/gwaei/

[PRQ#50126] Deletion Request for jenkins-lts
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for jenkins-lts [2]: Unmaintained server application package, last updated in Dec 2022. Not useful to keep. Upstream releases a new version every 4 weeks. There are much better, robust, infrastructure operations friendly delivery solutions to facilitate deployment and upgrading Jenkins server application instances, with automated backup and rollback capabilities, compared to just pulling a PKGBUILD off of AUR. Also developers can utilize simple package / container managers for their own local testing instance(s).

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for librdkafka1 [2]: Legacy version pkg; not needed anymore. Conflicts with repo's librdkafka and declares it provides librdkafka. This is not practical and also does not conform to AUR submission guidelines. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/librdkafka1/

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

[PRQ#50559] Deletion Request for qtraw-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for qtraw-git [2]: Discontinued; last released version is from 2015. [a] Repo got migrated to Gitlab and abandoned since 2020. [b] Broken: seems not compatible with Qt 5.15. From the latter source, master branch code passes RAW image file read tests with libraw 0.19.3 and 0.21.1, but does not pass a test for qt5-base 5.15.11's QImageReader error handling API. [a]: https://github.com/mardy/qtraw/releases/tag/VERSION_1.1 [b]: https://gitlab.com/mardy/qtraw/-/commits/master [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/qtraw-git/

[PRQ#50558] Deletion Request for qtraw
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for qtraw [2]: Discontinued; this last released version is from 2015. [a] Not compatible with Qt 5.15 and likely libraw 0.19+ (2019). (I tested this locally with Qt 5.15.11 and libraw 0.19 and current 0.21.1 from repo: fails RAW image read test.) Repo got migrated to Gitlab and abandoned since 2020. [b] From the latter source, master branch code passes file read tests with libraw 0.19.3 and 0.21.1, but does not pass a test for qt5-base 5.15.11's QImageReader error handling API. [a]: https://github.com/mardy/qtraw/releases/tag/VERSION_1.1 [b]: https://gitlab.com/mardy/qtraw/-/commits/master [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/qtraw/

[PRQ#50307] Deletion Request for python-gto
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-gto [2]: This new package is a CLI application; should be named 'gto' @naetherm, thank you for sharing your PKGBUILD. Please kindly change the pkgname to 'gto' and resubmit as AUR/gto, to align with Arch Python package guidelines.

[PRQ#49043] Deletion Request for ffmpeg-nonvidia
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ffmpeg-nonvidia [2]: By the name of this package, it is essentially a duplicate of extra/ffmpeg: 'nvidia-utils' is only an optional dependency of the latter, so it provides the same functionality if nvidia-utils is not installed. Any other minor discrepancies just mean that this package is named wrongly for how it is different from repo's ffmpeg. There's already an AUR/ffmpeg-amd-full; this package is actually minimally different from that. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/ffmpeg-nonvidia/
