[aur-requests] [PRQ#34647] Deletion Request for pidgin-privacy-please
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 May '22

27 May '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for pidgin-privacy-please [2]: As a suggestion I am submitting a deletion request. GitHub repo deleted (404), last commit seems to have been in 2015. Didn't find any source archive or fork that keeps/continues this version. The last stable v0.7.1, the source of this package, is from 2011. There were several issues in that stable version, some of them might have been fixed in the git version up until 2015. But now the 2015 version is gone, only the 2011 version remains at the old hosting URL (code.google.com) I would think that at this point, users are better advised to find up-to-date and working alternatives. Nothing depends on this package on AUR. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/pidgin-privacy-please/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#34649] Deletion Request for grib_api
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 May '22

27 May '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for grib_api [2]: Orphaned package. GRIB-API has been discontinued in 2017: https://www.ecmwf.int/en/newsletter/152/news/end-road-grib-api GRIB decoding/encoding is now supported in the successor tool: AUR/eccodes, AUR/eccodes-git. Source and upstream URLs already gone. Safe to delete, not needed and not accessible anymore. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/grib_api/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#34655] Deletion Request for mangonel
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 May '22

27 May '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mangonel [2]: I'm submitting this as just a suggestion to delete this package. Last stable release v1.1 is dated 2013-11-02. This package cannot be built because a mandatory KDE4 dependency is missing. Meanwhile, AUR/mangonel-git VCS package might still work because the code has been ported to KDE5 and sees regular fixes. So to ease maintenance, and because there are no working stable releases, it would be best IMHO to delete this package and keep only the -git one. Potential users would also benefit, as then they would automatically find the working -git package instead of trying to build this broken one.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#34682] Deletion Request for libav-no-libs-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 May '22

27 May '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for libav-no-libs-git [2]: I recommend to delete this orphaned VCS package for the discontinued libav project. Last tagged release was in 2018. Last commit added in 2019. Project bugzilla got shut down. Code contains dozens of unfixed vulnerabilities: https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability- list/vendor_id-11428/product_id-20944/Libav-Libav.html Project maintainer clarified in 2020 that the project is 'dead': https://lists.libav.org/pipermail/libav-devel/2020-April/086589.html From build(), it does not seem like this is a "no-libs" package, as nothing is disabled with configure. There are no user comments. Nothing requires this on AUR as a mandatory dependency. Safe to delete.

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for libav-no-libs [2]: I recommend to delete this orphaned package for the discontinued libav fork project. Last tagged release was in 2018. (Last repo commit was in 2019.) Project bugzilla got shut down. Code contains dozens of unfixed vulnerabilities: https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability- list/vendor_id-11428/product_id-20944/Libav-Libav.html Project maintainer clarified in 2020 that the project is 'dead': https://lists.libav.org/pipermail/libav-devel/2020-April/086589.html From build(), it does not seem like this is a "no-libs" package, as none of the source-built-in libraries are disabled with configure. (Which, if true, would mean that this package *might* conflict with ffmpeg libs. Also, most unpached vulnerabimities are in the codec libraries.) There are no user comments for this package. Nothing requires this on AUR as a mandatory dependency. Safe to delete. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/libav-no-libs/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#34778] Deletion Request for kate5-syntax-llvm
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 May '22

27 May '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for kate5-syntax-llvm [2]: Orphaned package, last updated in 2018, sources gone. This was only two syntax highlighting definition files for KDE's Kate text editor. They are not needed anymore. Since 1 Jan 2020 Kate has an integrated LSP (Language Server Protocol) client plugin, via which the editor can access helper modules for a large list of programming/markup languages. C/C++ helper is based on LLVM/Clang and it's already configured by default. https://kate-editor.org/post/2020/2020-01-01-kate-lsp-client-status/ Safe to delete this abandoned legacy package.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#34779] Deletion Request for networkmanager-openvpn-tls-crypt
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 May '22

27 May '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for networkmanager-openvpn-tls- crypt [2]: Orphaned package, build broken. It is a slight variation in build configuration for NetworkManager-OpenVPN v1.2.8, released in 2017. (Such old VPN software is likely insecure.) Don't think it's useful to keep. Also no one adopted it during the last year, so it seems not needed. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/networkmanager-openvpn-tls-crypt/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#34790] Deletion Request for lightdm-ubuntu
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 May '22

27 May '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lightdm-ubuntu [2]: Orphaned, last updated in 2016. Not needed by anything specifically. Arch hosts a much newer version of lightdm and liblightdm-qt5. AUR has an up-to-date package providing liblightdm-qt4. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/lightdm-ubuntu/
