[PRQ#49347] Deletion Request for libpcl
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Mar '24

18 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for libpcl [2]: This EOL library was last released in 2010. Current source and upstream URL leads to 404 not found error. Not useful to keep this package: the only functioning and actively maintained packages that could utilize it are AUR/ocserv and ocserv- git, but actually ocserv upstream tree contains the project's own maintenance fork of pcl, which at this point should be the preferred version of the pcl library when building ocserv. (That pcl code was last updated 4 months ago as of this writing, as opposed to 13 years ago for the original libpcl.) I've submitted a comment on each packages' AUR page to inform maintainer and the community about this situation, and the recommended resolution, to remove depends=libpcl from those PKGBUILDs.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Mar '24

18 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for didjvu [2]: Djvu is practically dead except for readers and tools than convert from it to other formats. This Python2 based tool is EOL since 2019 and is not buildable from AUR. But it is also useless to keep. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/didjvu/

17 Mar '24

Mr.Smith1974 [1] filed an orphan request for openimagedenoise-git [2]: The current maintainer hasn't updated the package in a very long time, which is why the package is in a "bad" state and therefore this package needs a new maintainer, which could be me.
