[PRQ#42685] Deletion Request for lib32-gnutls-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-gnutls-git [2]: Unmaintained VCS package from 2021. Owner MIA since that year. Build does not use the same options as Arch [multilib] lib32-gnutls does. pkgver() does not guarantee monotonicity. Package not needed: 1 vote, only 1 comment from owner from 2021. Arch repo lib32-gnutls is there for users. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/lib32-gnutls-git/

[PRQ#42663] Deletion Request for neovim-nightly
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for neovim-nightly [2]: This new package is a misguided alternative/duplicate of neovim-git. Source links to a GitHub 'nightly' source tarball (not binary), without verifying its checksum. (Please note; the neovim project also has erroneously pushed two problematic git tags, 'stable' and 'nightly'. I don't know what they intend to do with them, but I guess they will use force-push to change the pointers behind those tags from time to time.) Anyhow, this package is wrong and not needed: users are advised to use the correctly maintained neovim-git package. There is also a neovim-nightly-bin package if someone wants to test upstream's nightly binary on Arch. So this package is both wrong and superfluous. Please delete.

[PRQ#42652] Deletion Request for python-piff
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-piff [2]: This dual Py2/Py3 astronomical research package is severely broken. Orphaned, last updated in 2018. 0 votes, and only I commented a year ago about its brokenness. Best to delete from AUR. Scientists and other interested experts are best served by installing the maintained Conda-Forge or PyPI package.

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-coord-git [2]: This VCS package has been unmaintained since 2019 and is broken, because of its python2 subpackage and missing dependencies.

[PRQ#42618] Deletion Request for lib32-fontconfig-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-fontconfig-git [2]: Unneeded VCS package from 2021. Maintainer MIA since 2021 and does not respond to emails. Package uses a wrong pkgver() implementation (not monotonically increasing) (like the majority of @shoober420's git packages). Seems not needed: 1 vote, 0 comments.

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for rxvt-unicode-cvs-patched- wideglyphs [2]: Wrong package name. This is a VCS type package; it should be named so that the last suffix is '-cvs'.

[PRQ#45840] Deletion Request for onevpl-cpu-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Aug '23

04 Aug '23

dbermond [1] filed a deletion request for onevpl-cpu-git [2]: Package is no longer maintained by upstream[1], and it not supported by onevpl dispatcher anymore. Upstream now recommends using software codecs directly, instead of this cpu runtime implementation. [1] https://github.com/oneapi-src/oneVPL- cpu/commit/f9061031924d88c7b4eba9d3558277c8e51ed7ef [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/dbermond/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/onevpl-cpu-git/
