[PRQ#53214] Deletion Request for ubuntu-kylin-theme
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 22 Mar '24

22 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ubuntu-kylin-theme [2]: This theme package is abandoned since 4 years ago, and if installed, it breaks the gtk icon cache. I do not need this theme, and I don't have enough knowledge (nor incentive to gain such) to fix it. I think it is better to delete. Seems there is zero interest in this package by other people on AUR. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/ubuntu-kylin-theme/

[PRQ#50214] Deletion Request for imlib2-heic
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 22 Mar '24

22 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for imlib2-heic [2]: Unneeded addon to imlib2, as now extra/imlib2 builds with HEIC/HEIF support via libheif. This was only useful earlier, when imlib2 itself did not use libheif yet. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/imlib2-heic/

[PRQ#50228] Deletion Request for imlib2-heic-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 22 Mar '24

22 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for imlib2-heic-git [2]: Not useful to keep this VCS package on AUR any longer: repo 's current imlib2 natively supports the HEIF/HEIC formats via libheif. This separate plugin was developed for older versions of imlib2 that didn't have that format support built in yet.

[PRQ#53363] Merge Request for prometheus-apcupsd-exporter-bin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 22 Mar '24

22 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge prometheus-apcupsd-exporter-bin [2] into prometheus-apcupsd-exporter [3]: The binary source of the -bin package is missing (404). The non-bin package in AUR repo is still maintained and is up-to-date. The bin package is from 2019 and was for a personal, unofficial build. Upstream does not seem to provide prebuilt binaries.

[PRQ#52237] Deletion Request for anvill
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 22 Mar '24

22 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for anvill [2]: Upstream is broken abandonware. [a] Last release is from Feb 2021. [b] The only AUR consumer was mcsema, which is also broken and its repo is archived. (Submitted for deletion: PRQ#52236). Build execution is set to download its own vcpkg instead of using the AUR package for it, and is configured by default to collect telemetry to be sent to Microsoft, without the user's consent (which is illegal at least inside the EU).
