[aur-requests] [PRQ#35219] Deletion Request for ffmpeg-vp9-timestamp
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Jun '22

26 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ffmpeg-vp9-timestamp [2]: Orphaned package based on the legacy ffmpeg 4.4.1 package, backporting an as-yet unreleased patch from ffmpeg git master (after n5.1-dev). Build was reported failing 9 months ago but no one fixed the package. I believe this abandoned package is not useful to keep. It does not work and does not even declare its conflicts properly. I think if that specific unreleased patch was really important and urgent for the general user base, an Arch bug should be filed for such request. (But as of now, no one have done so.) (Or better yet: an ffmpeg ticket could be filed to get this backported to ffmpeg 4.4 and/or 5.0. But it seems that hasn't happened either.) So I see no point in keeping this package, broken, sans maintainer and without any indication that it is needed by anyone. Safe to delete; nothing on AUR specifically depends on this one.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35217] Deletion Request for lib32-ffmpeg-compat-57
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Jun '22

26 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-ffmpeg-compat-57 [2]: Orphaned package, last updated in 2020, packaging a very old ffmpeg 3.4.2 released in 2018. After researching, I've found only one consumer: AUR/lib32-ffmpeg-steam, which is only a compatibility link package. The latter was created in 2020 as a temporary workaround for a bug in the then-current Steam for Linux runtime and its built-in ffmpeg.[a] That bug was fixed by Valve in Spring 2021. [b] Therefore this long-unmaintained package is not needed anymore, can be deleted. (Submitted a separate deletion request for AUR/lib32-ffmpeg-steam based on the same conclusion.)

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35558] Merge Request for chowtapemodel.lv2-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 26 Jun '22

26 Jun '22

robbert-vdh [1] filed a request to merge chowtapemodel.lv2-git [2] into chowtapemodel-git [3]: chowtapemodel-git is a split package that packages LV2, VST3, JACK standalone, and soon CLAP versions of ChowTape.This was created because the maintainer of chowtapemodel.lv2-git did not want to add these other targets to the package. chowtapemodel-git also adds the -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release flag which JUCE checks for in many if its CMake files, and uses a correct version function in the PKGBUILD.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35898] Deletion Request for libmediawiki
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 25 Jun '22

25 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for libmediawiki [2]: This has not been updated with a stable release since 2017-08-30. It's been dropped from the KDE Gear/Apps suite in April 2022. There is no reason to keep this package. There is an AUR/libmediawiki-git package, that receives occasional maintenance commits, so I recommend to keep only that and delete this obsolete one.
