MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for polkit-dumb-agent-git [2]: Discontinued polkit alternative from 2021 [a]; reportedly does not work even with correct dependencies.

[PRQ#50340] Deletion Request for pdfalto
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Mar '24

26 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for pdfalto [2]: I am proposing to delete this from AUR, for the following reasons: - cannot download sources in clean chroot, - with git installed, linking phase fails after compilation, - there are many severe unresolved upstream issues (build/linking failure, crashes/segfaults with standard PDF features like comments, annotations). [a] Also: - This was an experimental tool to convert PDF files to ALTO, an obscure format conceived in the early 2000's as an open standard alternative to the then-proprietary formats like PDF, for archival purposes. - But nowadays, PDF is a royalty-free open standard, and its PDF/A derivative is specifically tailored for long-term archival and backward-forward compatibility. Upstream pdfalto is not actively maintained/developed: - last released in April 2021 [b], - a few newer commits from 2021, and one from 2022. [c] Does not seem to be used on AUR: - 1 vote, 0 comments, - no one mentioned the linking failure here.

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for cnijfilter-ip1800series [2]: Broken package for a cheap (sub-50$), entry level Canon InkJet printer from 2007. Cannot be packaged due to broken dependencies. I don't think it's worth keeping. It would require lots of hacking to make this particular package work.

[PRQ#49388] Deletion Request for ffmpeg-obs
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 25 Mar '24

25 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ffmpeg-obs [2]: Arch extra repo carries obs-studio and ffmpeg, and the two seem to work just fine with each other. OBS studio carries two very minimal, one-line patches for ffmpeg. One is a crude hack for flvdec (FLV decoder), to handle 'TYPE_UNKNOWN'. FLV is practically a dead format (Flash Video). This patch makes FFMPEG accept FLV files with malformed/nonexistent header, which is not really something that people would need in general. The other is for AOMenc, minimally changing the default quality preset - which is configurable via command line option anyway. Hardy any of these changes are essential. Please kindly delete this package, it doesn't seem worth the trouble to keep it. In case there is a bug with OBS Studio and its use of FFMPEG, please file a bug report in Arch bug tracking system and preferably with upstream as well (OBS and/or FFMPEG, whichever is relevant). This is what the AUR submission guidelines is asking for as well, instead of creating duplicates of repo packages on AUR.

25 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mpv-caca [2]: I don't think it's useful to keep this legacy mpv version. Upstream dropped libcaca support, so this cannot be updated to newer version, unlike extra repo's mpv. This also depends on the broken, unbuildable ffmpeg5.1, not required by any other package. mpv alternatives mplayer and vlc still support libcaca, if someone really wants to use that output library.
