[PRQ#52694] Deletion Request for python-restructuredtext-lint
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-restructuredtext-lint [2]: Refiling PRQ#46263 (14 Aug 2023) that I have deferred (closed) earlier. Abandoned Python2/Python3 pkg. Has no reverse dependencies. There's a much earlier created, but still maintained duplicate: AUR/python-restructuredtext_lint. [a] That one does have other builds depending on it. I chose to file a deletion request as there are no votes, and the only comment here is from me, and it only pertains to this PKGBUILD. So it would be irrelevant to the other package.

[PRQ#52765] Deletion Request for trakt-scrobbler
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for trakt-scrobbler [2]: Broken due to upstream's slow update schedule and reliance on deprecated Python module versions that are not available on Arch Linux and would need an old python-setuptools to build. AUR users have been notified to follow upstream's simple setup guide that uses pipx. I've tested that and it works fine, builds quickly and the application is usable that way.

[PRQ#52874] Deletion Request for global-appmenu-applet-whose-menu-mnemonic-has-been-disabled-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for global-appmenu-applet-whose- menu-mnemonic-has-been-disabled-git [2]: Broken, unmaintained, unneeded package. Also, a package name has to be reasonably short, and not consist of a whole extended sentence.

[PRQ#51646] Deletion Request for xf86-video-dummy-with-vt
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for xf86-video-dummy-with-vt [2]: No longer maintained, minimally patched old version (released in 2016) of extra/xf86-video-dummy. The latter is carrying the last release from 2023. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/xf86-video-dummy-with-vt/

[PRQ#50344] Deletion Request for visit-build
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for visit-build [2]: Broken, unused package from 2020. OOD flag ignored since 2021. Last comment is from 2017. Upstream is continually developed, so abandoning it on AUR doesn't seem to be because of obsolescence, rather, just lack of interest here. Actually upstream publishes an easy-to-use, well-documented build script which helps users in acquiring the sources and building it for installation inside their user's directory. (There are also upstream binary releases, and an installation script to facilitate downloading and installing that one inside user's home.) PKGBUILD is problematic for an Arch/AUR package: does not declare sources, just lets upstream's install script fetch sources via wget. People who want to use this application better stick to using upstream's supported build or binary installation methods. (It doesn't need to exist inside system dirs to work.)

[PRQ#50338] Deletion Request for friking-shark-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for friking-shark-git [2]: Broken, abandoned, unused VCS package from 2019. Missing a makedepend. Also incompatible with current Qt5-widgets. Source URL is broken since 18+ months ago. Seems best to delete. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/friking-shark-git/

[PRQ#49523] Merge Request for lprng-cups
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 22 Mar '24

22 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge lprng-cups [2] into lprng [3]: Eliminating duplication, and also rationalizing packages. Currently, 'lprng-cups' doesn't include cups files, and 'lprng' does. It should be the other way around, or at least 'lprng' should be the one that doesn't conflict with cups. Please kindly adopt the currently orphan 'lprng', update it, and change its packaging to make it capable of coexisting with cups.

[PRQ#51991] Merge Request for python-pytest-astropy-meta
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 22 Mar '24

22 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge python-pytest-astropy-meta [2] into python-pytest-astropy [3]: I'm closing my earlier deletion request, PRQ#46223 (2023-08-13), and filing this merge request. AUR/python-pytest-astropy-meta is a blanked-out version from 2019 of AUR/python-pytest-astropy. Though PyPI/pytest-astropy defines itself as a metapackage [a], nevertheless its content is not nil, because it has dependency metadata definitions. AUR/python-pytest-astropy carries the latest upstream version. [a] [a]: https://pypi.org/project/pytest-astropy/ [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-pytest-astropy-meta/ [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-pytest-astropy/

[PRQ#53253] Merge Request for xtables-addons-rawnat
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 22 Mar '24

22 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge xtables-addons-rawnat [2] into xtables-addons [3]: I've closed my deletion request PRQ#47748 (2023-09-21), and instead I am filing this merge request. The 'rawnat' fork has been discontinued since 2016 and been superseded by the main 'xtables-addons' package.
