[PRQ#58328] Deletion Request for armikrog-hib
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Apr '24

21 Apr '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for armikrog-hib [2]: Not useful to keep this abandoned, broken package from 2016. Not installable since 2018, due to 'hib-dlagent' being EOL since 2016 and not working since 2018. There is no simple Humble Bundle dlagent wrapper that works. Better to let people use whatever game manager they prefer. (I use Lutris myself, available from Arch repo.) (I cannot update this package to the latest version even without hib- dlagent, as I only have a GOG.com account and have this game there. Latest release on that platform is from 2019, but this can differ by distributing vendor; also the filenames on GOG are unique to GOG.)

[PRQ#58222] Deletion Request for clang-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Apr '24

21 Apr '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for clang-git [2]: At the kind and helpful advice of @Foxboron, I am submitting a deletion request instead of a merge (previous, rejected request: PRQ#51509). This package is problematic and should be deleted. Not just because it fails during linking with default makepkg / devtools config, but also because it's a partial duplicate of AUR/llvm-git. The latter already builds and packages clang as well, and has 'clang' in its provides array. The clang executable is part of the 'llvm-project' GitHub monorepository. It does not make sense to build a different version of clang than that of llvm and libs. It would just lead to breakage. AUR/llvm-git is competently maintained and has a better structure (split libs and compiler executables like in repo pkg, and a useful project version based pkgver function). Please delete the broken and useless 'clang-git'. It will allow the maintainers of llvm-git to decide if they want to make a split package for it.

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ssh-utils [2]: Submitter's unspecified personal script (one, not plural). Wrongly configured, violates Arch packaging etiquette: puts files in /usr/local/{bin,share}. It has no explanation, no documentation, no readme. Not useful for AUR users.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Apr '24

21 Apr '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for zulu-embedded-jdk [2]: Indented for non-x86_64 only. Otherwise an outdated version of Zulu JDK for x86_64 (v19), which is EOL for years. The latest is zulu-21-bin, available on AUR. Also pkgname should have had the '-bin' suffix. And this package also violates good packaging norms because it uses different source versions for different architectures.

Also the category-related word typically needs to be in the plural (i.e. 'applets', not 'applet'). Proper name for this current package: plasma6-applets-netspeed-widget-git.
