[PRQ#50350] Deletion Request for xf86-input-synaptics-gesturesonly
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 19 Mar '24

19 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for xf86-input-synaptics- gesturesonly [2]: Abandoned, OOD, reduced functionality variant from 2018 of extra repo's xf86-input-synaptics. The latter one provides upstream's latest release version (from July 2022 as of now).

[PRQ#50342] Deletion Request for visit-bin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 19 Mar '24

19 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for visit-bin [2]: Broken, unused foreign binary from 2020. OOD flag ignored since that year. Last comment is also from same year. Upstream is continually developed, so abandoning it on AUR doesn't seem to be because of obsolescence, rather, just lack of interest here. Actually upstream publishes an easy-to-use, well-documented installation script to download and install the latest version (or any release version) in a user's directory. So people who want to use this application better stick to that way of acquiring it instead of trying to rely on AUR, which is no longer a viable source for them. The application does not need to be installed in system dirs to work. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/visit-bin/

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 19 Mar '24

19 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-zvmcloudconnector [2]: Cleanup of abandoned package. Its only consumer was openstack-nova; see PRQ#50005 for the details on why it doesn't make sense to keep these unmaintained server components on AUR.

[PRQ#50219] Deletion Request for xz-static
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 19 Mar '24

19 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for xz-static [2]: Unneeded static variant of core/xz. Not updated with upstream releases since 2022-10. Previously was used as makedepend by AUR/libvirt-sandbox; this is no longer the case. Safe to delete. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/xz-static/

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for heif [2]: Unused, defunct older implementation of libheif by nokiatech, project unmaintained since 2021. [a] Has breaking issues that are not fixed. [b] Extra repo carries the libheif implementation that's working and which is used by other builds. [a]: https://github.com/nokiatech/heif [b]: https://github.com/nokiatech/heif/issues [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/heif/

[PRQ#49925] Deletion Request for nodejs-mermaid-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 19 Mar '24

19 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for nodejs-mermaid-git [2]: Abandoned, broken, unused VCS package from 2018. Also, pkgname does not conform to Arch Node.js package guidelines: 'nodejs' prefix unneeded for applications, which this is. I recommend deletion: there's no sign anyone on AUR is interested in maintaining it. Latest version is easy to install from npmjs registry or the GitHub repo. AUR has an up-to-date CLI variant of this, called mermaid-cli. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/nodejs-mermaid-git/
