[PRQ#55067] Deletion Request for nginx-mainline-boringssl
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 24 Mar '24

24 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for nginx-mainline-boringssl [2]: Abandoned package from 2.5 years ago, not useful to keep as is. BoringSSL is Google's fork of OpenSSL. Repo's maintained nginx-mainline uses OpenSSL. Earlier, BoringSSL was useful for newer features like QUIC/HTTP3 support, but now the latter feature is in official openssl 3.2, and mainline nginx 1.25+ also rolled out this capability based on openssl as well.

[PRQ#50126] Deletion Request for jenkins-lts
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 24 Mar '24

24 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for jenkins-lts [2]: Unmaintained server application package, last updated in Dec 2022. Not useful to keep. Upstream releases a new version every 4 weeks. There are much better, robust, infrastructure operations friendly delivery solutions to facilitate deployment and upgrading Jenkins server application instances, with automated backup and rollback capabilities, compared to just pulling a PKGBUILD off of AUR. Also developers can utilize simple package / container managers for their own local testing instance(s).

[PRQ#50559] Deletion Request for qtraw-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for qtraw-git [2]: Discontinued; last released version is from 2015. [a] Repo got migrated to Gitlab and abandoned since 2020. [b] Broken: seems not compatible with Qt 5.15. From the latter source, master branch code passes RAW image file read tests with libraw 0.19.3 and 0.21.1, but does not pass a test for qt5-base 5.15.11's QImageReader error handling API. [a]: https://github.com/mardy/qtraw/releases/tag/VERSION_1.1 [b]: https://gitlab.com/mardy/qtraw/-/commits/master [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/qtraw-git/

[PRQ#50558] Deletion Request for qtraw
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for qtraw [2]: Discontinued; this last released version is from 2015. [a] Not compatible with Qt 5.15 and likely libraw 0.19+ (2019). (I tested this locally with Qt 5.15.11 and libraw 0.19 and current 0.21.1 from repo: fails RAW image read test.) Repo got migrated to Gitlab and abandoned since 2020. [b] From the latter source, master branch code passes file read tests with libraw 0.19.3 and 0.21.1, but does not pass a test for qt5-base 5.15.11's QImageReader error handling API.
