[PRQ#52327] Deletion Request for notification-daemon-gtk2
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 13 Apr '24

13 Apr '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for notification-daemon-gtk2 [2]: Not useful to keep this defunct GNOME2 lib from 2010. There is no GNOME2 or other Gtk2-based desktop environment available in Arch/AUR repos. And Gtk2 applications work just fine with [extra] repo's Gtk3-based notification-daemon. The package is frequently broken due to relying on unmaintained legacy dependencies like gstreamer0.10.

[PRQ#52930] Deletion Request for xfce4-genmon-plugin-gtk2
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 13 Apr '24

13 Apr '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for xfce4-genmon-plugin-gtk2 [2]: The Gtk2 based Xfce4 has been EOL for 5+ years now. (With some components having been last released even earlier, 7 years ago, in 2017.) This package mistakenly declares 'xfce4-panel' as its dependency, which is carried by Arch repo and uses the latest version with gtk3. But the true dependency of this, 'xfce4-panel-gtk2' (released in 2017) fails to build from source, just like many other Xfce4-Gtk2 packages on AUR. All Xfce4 distro packages using Gtk2 are pending deletion now (actually some have already been accepted by a PM to be dropped). Not useful to keep this. Arch extra repo carries the current version of xfce4-genmon-plugin (based on gtk3). [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/xfce4-genmon-plugin-gtk2/

[PRQ#53955] Deletion Request for avahi-gtk2
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 13 Apr '24

13 Apr '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for avahi-gtk2 [2]: Unmaintained, unneeded package. There are no more functioning pure-gtk2 desktop environments available from either Arch repos or the AUR. It is enough to keep repo's avahi, which is getting regular updates for newer upstream commits. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/avahi-gtk2/

[PRQ#57406] Deletion Request for stapxs-qq-lite-webpage-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 13 Apr '24

13 Apr '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for stapxs-qq-lite-webpage-git [2]: Broken. Upstream is abandoned since last year. The package has been unbuildable for at least 6 months. Tencent has released an official QQ client; it is available from AUR too. [a] It seems there is much less incentive to maintain unofficial QQ applications anymore; another third-party client has been discontinued as well. [b] [a]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/linuxqq [b]: See PRQ#57125 - deletion request for gtk-qq-git: https://lists.archlinux.org/hyperkitty/list/aur- requests(a)lists.archlinux.org/thread/NJ32TD3IIW7JLOGHUB2VKDQBW3KUFY3B [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/stapxs-qq-lite-webpage-git/

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for compizconfig-backend- kconfig4 [2]: Broken, unused Qt4/KDE4 package from 2015. Upstream and source URL leads to nonexistent server (connection timeout). There's also no KDE4 desktop environment available on Arch/AUR. And KDE4's AUR/kdelibs has been unbuildable for almost a year.
