by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Jun '23

21 Jun '23

[PRQ#41603] Deletion Request for lux-qt
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Jun '23

21 Jun '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lux-qt [2]: This cryptocurrency project was abandoned mid-2021 [a], then the creator forked a completely different blockchain and renamed it to newlux [b]. But that fork was also abandoned in Nov 2021. Project website is dead, domain parked. [c] There is just one, albeit duplicated comment in AUR, from 2019, about build failure. Package was last updated in 2018. Seems this was one of the myriad of short-lived cryptocurrency projects during the heyday of its hype. [a]: https://github.com/LUX-Core/lux [b]: https://github.com/LUX-Core/newlux [c]: https://luxcore.io/ [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/lux-qt/

[PRQ#42497] Deletion Request for rubick-electron-bin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Jun '23

21 Jun '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for rubick-electron-bin [2]: To quote @a821's expression verbatim (as it applies perfectly): "Hit and run! It was submitted and orphaned at the same time. If one does not intend to maintain it, what's the point?" Package also functionally duplicates longer existing AUR/rubick-bin with some packaging alterations.

[PRQ#41607] Deletion Request for vk9-bin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Jun '23

21 Jun '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for vk9-bin [2]: This project got discontinued 4 years ago in 2019. [a] It was a Direct3D 9 to Vulkan translation layer for WINE, but unrelated to the currently active dxvk project and its predecessor d9vk. Original repo URL used in this PKGBUILD is gone, because the GitHub project owner's name got changed. [b] I recommend deletion, as it is not useful anymore to keep. Meanwhile DXVK is constantly developed and frequently upstreamed to WINE and Proton. [a]: https://github.com/gamethich2020/VK9 [b]: https://github.com/gamethich2020/VK9/commits?author=disks86 [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/vk9-bin/

[PRQ#42445] Deletion Request for python-gym-minigrid
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Jun '23

21 Jun '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-gym-minigrid [2]: Unneeded legacy Python package from 2020. Module renamed to minigrid, so a new package has to be created for that. [a][b] (See [a] redirecting to a new 'minigrid' repo.) Nothing depends on this old library. Safe to delete. [a]: https://github.com/maximecb/gym-minigrid [b]: https://pypi.org/project/minigrid/ [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-gym-minigrid/

[PRQ#42451] Deletion Request for neopg
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Jun '23

21 Jun '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for neopg [2]: Package abandoned since 2018. This fork/reimplementation of OpenPGP has never became stable, let alone feature-complete, and the work has halted since 2019. [a] AUR page has one comment (from 2018) and 3 votes. Seems not needed by anyone. Nothing depends on it. Safe to delete. [a]: https://github.com/das-labor/neopg/ [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/neopg/

[PRQ#42440] Deletion Request for firefox-kde
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Jun '23

21 Jun '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for firefox-kde [2]: Orphaned, more outdated variant of another AUR package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/firefox-kde-opensuse The latter also needs update, but at least has a maintainer and has 334 votes. This one only has 2 votes. I recommend deletion and not an AUR merge. As the few comments here only pertain to this specific build and are also old now. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/firefox-kde/
