[PRQ#58208] Merge Request for mybase8
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge mybase8 [2] into mybase-desktop- bin [3]: Original submitter of mybase8 has adopted and updated the recently orphaned mybase-desktop-bin instead, based on my recommendation. The latter's name is more proper. The '-bin' suffix is because it's prebuilt from open-source code. No need for version suffix, as v8 is the latest major release line. And the '-desktop' name part is important, because there is also a mybase server component, but this is the client.

[PRQ#58206] Merge Request for mikutter-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge mikutter-git [2] into mikutter [3]: It's pointless to keep the git package. Upstream is very sporadically and infrequently maintained, and when it is, developer creates a stable tag immediately. Also it seems the git package is not used by anyone anymore. And it only has 2 votes and no comments. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/mikutter-git/ [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/mikutter/

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge dia-nopoppler-git [2] into dia- git [3]: The 'nopoppler' patch breaks the build. But there is no longer any meaningful benefit in fixing and keeping it.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge plasma5-applets-places-widget [2] into plasma6-applets-places-widget [3]: The target package is the continuation, only that one works with current Arch Linux.

23 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge plasma5-applets-weather-widget- git [2] into plasma6-applets-weather-widget-3-git [3]: Original upstream is dead since 2017, and is broken on current Arch Linux.

[PRQ#57926] Deletion Request for gboggle
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24
