[aur-requests] [PRQ#36222] Deletion Request for dgengine-physfs-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 31 Jul '22

31 Jul '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for dgengine-physfs-git [2]: Orphaned package, last updated in 2018. GitHub repo archived sometime after Jan 2021. [a] Package name is misleading: this is a physfs mod, not dgenine. Source was forked from physfs in 2016. Its aim was to embed MPQ support (Blizzard's game data format) via StormLib (by copying its source to this repo). [b] This was intended to be used by DGEngine, a Diablo Engine remake. But this separate library is not needed, because since at least May 2021, DGEngine includes its own PhysFs wrapper for StormLib, and it can use an external (system-installed) StormLib as well. [c] The build requires the unmodified upstream PhysFs as the basis for its customized add-on. [d] Nothing on AUR depends specifically on this deprecated fork, so it's safe to delete. (physfs is available in repo, stormlib is in AUR. Currently there is no dgengine in Arch/AUR. But if someone wanted to create such a package, they would not need this one.)

[aur-requests] [PRQ#36221] Merge Request for confedi-git-bin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 31 Jul '22

31 Jul '22

yochananmarqos [1] filed a request to merge confedi-git-bin [2] into confedi-git [3]: The -git-bin suffix makes no sense. confedi-git should be building from source with pyinstaller.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#36216] Deletion Request for python2-skypipe-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 31 Jul '22

31 Jul '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-skypipe-git [2]: "Alpha" phase Python 2 CLI utility, "to pipe terminal IO through the internet". Seems discontinued in 2012. [a] Package orphaned, last updated in 2015. Broken because of missing Python 2 dependency (python2-pyzmq-static). The only feedback since the current AUR exists was from @micwoj92 (Mar 2021) and @carlosal1015 (Feb 2022), about the same missing prerequisite to this build. But unless they need this package, I doubt anyone else does. :) So I suggest deletion.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#36215] Orphan Request for dolphin-emu-triforce
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 31 Jul '22

31 Jul '22

mhammond9 [1] filed an orphan request for dolphin-emu-triforce [2]: Hello, I'm not nearly as active on the AUR as I used to, and an AUR administrator contacted me to make a change to this package....uhhh...how do I say this nicely....? I don't use Arch Distros right now. I don't plan on doing so until I receive a Steam Deck, either, so maintaining this is going to be a hassle. In other words, the maintainer that's MIA is me. I completely forgot that I owned this package and I feel like it would be in better hands with someone more active in the AUR community right now. I believe this is the correct way to give a package up for adoption by a more active member, but I'm unsure. I don't plan to be much more active until I receive my Steam Deck, period, so giving this to a better owner is probably for the best. On a side note, I don't believe they use the AUR, but Reddit's u/Anti- Ultimate can help structure this package far better than me. It's their shell script that's the reason this package exists at all, after all. Thank you so much for considering this package for orphanage/adoption, because if you look in the comments, it's quite clear why this package should exist at all. ~Michael [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/mhammond9/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/dolphin-emu-triforce/
