MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for matita [2]: Long broken and abandoned. Submitted in 2019 and never changed. 0 votes/comments. Uses upstream's last tagged release, 0.99.3, from 8 years ago (2016). [a] Not compatible with current OCAML 5 & its modules that are offered by Arch Linux repo. Also its lablgtk2 dependency no longer exists. Same is true for upstream's legacy 'ld-0.99.3' maintenance branch, discontinued since 2019. [b] Only '-git' package would be viable. The master branch is actively developed against mainline OCAML 5 modules, and uses lablgtk3 which is available in Arch repo. Deleting this would allow dropping other defunct EOL packages from AUR down the line.

This PKGBUILD currently builds from upstream's dev branch for Qt6, and has a pkgver() that does not properly guarantee monotonic increase.

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for qt5-virtualkeyboard-git [2]: Not useful to keep this package. Qt5 is EOL since May 2023. This PKGBUILD currently builds from upstream's Qt5 branch, which is typically behind the source used by the stable PKGBUILD in extra repo. Qt devs delay pushing Qt5 patches to the public repo by one year, whereas the KDE project cherry-picks and backports most of the important commits accepted by Qt Group for Qt5 but not yet publicly pushed. Therefore the extra repo build is better for users and developers alike, because it is based on newer code which has less bugs. As a consequence of all this, the extra/qt5* packages are quite like git VCS packages. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/qt5-virtualkeyboard-git/

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for qt5-serialport-git [2]: Not useful to keep this package. Qt5 is EOL since May 2023. This PKGBUILD currently builds from upstream's Qt5 branch, which is typically behind the source used by the stable PKGBUILD in extra repo. Qt devs delay pushing Qt5 patches to the public repo by one year, whereas the KDE project cherry-picks and backports most of the important commits accepted by Qt Group for Qt5 but not yet publicly pushed. Therefore the extra repo build is better for users and developers alike, because it is based on newer code which has less bugs. As a consequence of all this, the extra/qt5* packages are quite like git VCS packages. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/qt5-serialport-git/

[PRQ#49327] Deletion Request for qt5-sensors-git

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for qt5-sensors-git [2]: Not useful to keep this package. Qt5 is EOL since May 2023. This PKGBUILD currently builds from upstream's dev branch for Qt6, and has a pkgver() that does not properly guarantee monotonic increase. But it's pointless to fix this. Qt Group's public Qt5 branch is typically behind the source used by the stable PKGBUILD in extra repo, because Qt devs delay pushing Qt5 patches by one year, whereas the KDE project cherry-picks and backports most of the patches accepted for Qt5 but not yet publicly pushed by Qt Group. Therefore the extra repo build is better for users to use, because it is based on newer code which has less bugs. And because of all this, the extra/qt5* packages are quite like git VCS packages.
