[PRQ#52385] Deletion Request for slimevr-bin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 14 Apr '24

14 Apr '24

Vixea [1] filed a deletion request for slimevr-bin [2]: This package is broken as the desktop file extracted won't launch. It is missing many required dependencies and it seems like the creator is just spamming packages on the aur and the other packages don't even have the right dependencies.

[PRQ#52199] Deletion Request for dovecot-fts-flatcurve
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 14 Apr '24

14 Apr '24

HLFH [1] filed a deletion request for dovecot-fts-flatcurve [2]: It is currently a -git package. So it is an unoptimized duplicate of https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dovecot-fts-flatcurve-git, which is more optimised and working as it is working alongside with the dovecot-with-stemmer AUR package. dovecot-fts-flatcurve would never work with dovecot dep as it requires stemmer in the build, which dovecot-with-stemmer currently provides until the dovecot package integrates stemmer in its build. https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/dovecot/-/issues/1 [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/HLFH/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/dovecot-fts-flatcurve/

14 Apr '24

FabioLolix [1] filed a deletion request for gst-transcoder-git [2]: The github description states "deprecated, merged into gst-plugins- bad" https://github.com/pitivi/gst-transcoder.

[PRQ#52150] Deletion Request for mpdproxy-coffeescript-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 14 Apr '24

14 Apr '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mpdproxy-coffeescript-git [2]: Broken, unused package. Fails to build. Upstream not maintained since 2020. [a] Even if the needed makedepend is satisfied, the package is defunct: builds successfully, but does not install the needed mpdproxy executable. And btw the PKGBUILD executes 'npm install' inside prepare(). [a]: https://github.com/tremby/mpdproxy [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/mpdproxy-coffeescript-git/

[PRQ#52110] Deletion Request for dvm-bin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 14 Apr '24

14 Apr '24

hvksmr1996 [1] filed a deletion request for dvm-bin [2]: This dvm-bin and the prior dvm-bin are different tools that serve different purposes. I don't know how could a maintainer handle it better than to delete it. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/hvksmr1996/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/dvm-bin/

[PRQ#52102] Deletion Request for stlport
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 14 Apr '24

14 Apr '24

PlasticSoup [1] filed a deletion request for stlport [2]: Package does not build. Build errors may be issues with newer versions of gcc. While using an older version may work, upstream has been inactive for 15 years and there isn't any apparent interest for this package.

[PRQ#52101] Deletion Request for nodejs-npm2aur
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 14 Apr '24

14 Apr '24

PlasticSoup [1] filed a deletion request for nodejs-npm2aur [2]: Package cannot be built in a clean root as it requires npm. While this is a quick fix, the package has not been updated in at least 8 years. Also upstream has been inactive for 11 years leaving this software to use very old dependencies.
