by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Mar '24

27 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for plasma-applet-netspeed- widget [2]: As per ArchWiki's KDE package guidelines [a], their names have to refer to the Plasma or KDE component major version (5 or 6). 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. Please kindly resubmit with that name.

xiota [1] filed an orphan request for octopi [2]: Package saves to non-unique filename "octopi", lacking both version and extension. This is known to cause problems when rebuilding new versions of packages or when `SRCDEST` is set. Arch Wiki describes the problem and provides a solution [a]. Maintainer was notified in comments. Multiple solutions were provided by multiple users. However, maintainer has refused to correct the defect. If maintainer is unwilling or unable to fix this package, it should be orphaned so someone else may do so.

27 Mar '24

xiota [1] filed an orphan request for octopi-notifier-qt5 [2]: Package saves to non-unique filename "octopi", lacking both version and extension. This is known to cause problems when rebuilding new versions of packages or when `SRCDEST` is set. Arch Wiki describes the problem and provides a solution [a]. Maintainer was notified in comments of related package octopi [b]. There, the problem was explained in detail, and multiple solutions were provided by multiple users. However, maintainer refused to correct the defect. Since maintainer is unwilling or unable to fix this problem, this package should be orphaned so someone else may do so. Note: Both octopi and octopi-notifier-qt5 share the same source. They should be orphaned simultaneously so that the new maintainer can combine them into a split package.

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for fonts-meta-extended-lt [2]: This 'kind-of' metapackage with Infinality related additional alias configs is no longer useful. Because Infinality rendering modes are no longer supported by current version of freetype2. (Upstream removed this capability after 10 years of no development and due to being buggy.)

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for telepathy-morse-git [2]: All telepathy-kde* packages have been dropped from Arch repos and also from AUR, because they have been discontinued by upstream since April 2023 and most of the connection modules were already defunct anyway. This package no longer has any existing and working telepathy-qt5 based IM applications to be used with. Also its upstream is abandoned since 2020.

26 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for nerolinux3 [2]: Defunct proprietary optical media burning software last released in 2009, needing a registration key to work. 32-bit software, so pkgname should have had the 'bin32-' prefix. Release archives are no longer offered by upstream, and the currently declared source array pointing to a file hosted by getsoft.sibnet.ru leads to a 404 not found error. I propose deletion: not useful to keep. Nowadays there are many good, free open-source alternatives for this use case.

26 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for artwork-maia [2]: This is a defunct, unmaintained KDE Plasma 5.10 theme package from 5 years ago. I've tried it in 2019 and it had many missing icons and graphical inconsistencies. I doubt things would be any better now. Manjaro itself seems to have dropped the 'plasma5-themes-maia' and 'sddm-maia-theme' from their distro repo. (But again, the icon theme subpackage is also not useful anymore.) It does not help that this is a VCS PKGBUILD in disguise, as there's no upstream update since 2018.

[PRQ#52373] Deletion Request for python-pyqt5-pre-release
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Mar '24

26 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-pyqt5-pre-release [2]: Upstream PyQt5 is in minimal maintenance mode, and will likely soon be completely EOL. Meanwhile it is not useful to have this package on AUR, especially because it is not actively maintained here. (ATM it is OOD but no one even flagged it as such.) There will absolutely be zero API changes in PyQt5, so outside of a few Qt developers and a maybe some Desktop Environment / Linux distribution maintainers / CI engineers, no one else can see any benefit in installing a prerelease of this deprecated package, even if the PKGBUILD itself were always up-to-date. And even those mentioned people would need the devel release only in their CI environment and not as a locally installed Arch Linux package.

[PRQ#52442] Deletion Request for mangonel-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Mar '24

26 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mangonel-git [2]: Upstream is abandonware. The package builds and installs fine, but then the launcher does not appear and there's no way to make it appear on KDE Plasma 5 desktop. All it does is sending a standard notification to the desktop with the message "Press Ctrl+Alt+Space to show Mangonel", but nothing happens when I do so. It is pointless to keep this dead KDE application launcher any longer on AUR. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/mangonel-git/
