[PRQ#52676] Deletion Request for sudo-is-doas
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 03 Mar '24

03 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for sudo-is-doas [2]: Problematic symlink-only package. doas is not sudo; they behave differently e.g. (very importantly) when it comes to passing or not passing environment variables to the root environment. Downstream dependent applications should have explicit doas support, or the user has to do some additional setup to try to make it better compatible with sudo. There are already doas-sudo-shim packages on AUR that aim to do just that. No need to keep a dumber, less compatible alterative here (let alone one that lies in its pkgdesc about being 'more functional" than the latter, in which regard the opposite is true).

[PRQ#49079] Merge Request for ffmpeg-compat-57
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 03 Mar '24

03 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge ffmpeg-compat-57 [2] into ffmpeg3.4 [3]: Eliminating duplication. Also, ffmpeg-compat packages are not useful for compiling downstream dependent packages, because they lack the include headers. ffmpeg3.4 is currently maintained by me, but I'm happy to share maintainership with @HurricanePootis or others. That package declares provides=ffmpeg-compat-57, so existing binary packages can use that one just as well.

A request : CMYK colors are expected based on % It's to say that 255,0,0,0 (cyan) could be expressed as 100%, 0%, 0%, 0% the sum of this % expressed as 300% is also an interesting info.

a821 [1] filed a deletion request for php-gettext-enabler [2]: This package modifies the configuration of another package (php.ini). It's a trivial `sed` oneliner that I don't believe it belongs in the AUR. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/a821/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/php-gettext-enabler/
