[aur-requests] [PRQ#34798] Deletion Request for libappindicator-ubuntu
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 May '22

27 May '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for libappindicator-ubuntu [2]: This package is redundant, I believe. Arch [community] libappindicator-gtk2 and libappindicator-gtk3 already builds the 2020 patched version of this library, whereas current AUR package was last updated in 2018. Safe to delete, no loss of function expected. I see no package in AUR that explicitly depend on this libappindicator variant.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#34807] Deletion Request for python2-mne-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 May '22

27 May '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-mne-git [2]: Obsolete VCS package. Python MNE now requires at least Python 3.7. Therefore Python 2 is not supported anymore. AUR has the Python 3 based python-mne package which works. This package is not needed by anything on AUR. Safe to delete.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#34808] Deletion Request for python2-nibabel-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 May '22

27 May '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-nibabel-git [2]: Obsolete Python 2 based VCS package. Python nibabel now requires at least Python 3.6. Python 2 is no longer supported. AUR has the Python 3 based python-nibabel package which works. This package is not needed anymore. (It has 1 AUR dependent which is also pending deletion because that also no longer supports Python 2.) Safe to delete. No loss of function.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#34827] Deletion Request for python2-xlib-svn
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 May '22

27 May '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-xlib-svn [2]: Obsolete and orphaned VCS package. Source has been migrated to GitHub after 2015. AUR has the python2-xlib package which is maintained and up-to-date. Safe to delete, package no longer serves its former purpose.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#34828] Deletion Request for gtkdialog-svn
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 May '22

27 May '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gtkdialog-svn [2]: Orphaned legacy VCS package. Last updated in 2015. Source now points to GitHub, not to an SVN repo. But anyway, there is no development on this code since 2013 (neither in Google Code SVN, nor on GitHub mirror), so there is no need for a VCS package for this project. AUR has the 'gtkdialog' package which is maintained and seems to be kept in working order. Therefore it's safe to delete this obsolete VCS package.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#34833] Deletion Request for xonotic-desktop
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 May '22

27 May '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for xonotic-desktop [2]: I think this package from 2016 is obsolete. This just installs Arch [community] xonotic and adds xonotic desktop files, and icons from the AUR/xonotic-git package. (Causing install failure because of conflicting packages.) But anyway, this package is not needed anymore, since [community] xonotic does contain all the icons and necessary desktop entries. Safe to delete this desktop/icon addon package. No impact.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#34842] Deletion Request for pdfscissors
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 May '22

27 May '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for pdfscissors [2]: This tool itself was last updated in 2011. Since that time, upstream URL is gone, source tarball got put behind loginwall and cannot be downloaded. I would suggest to delete this if not salvageable. There are dozens of working of PDF editing/cutting/modifying tools available nowadays. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/pdfscissors/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#34843] Deletion Request for python-envoy
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 May '22

27 May '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-envoy [2]: Deprecated since 2017. delegator.py is its successor. (AUR: python-delegator; though that should be named 'python-delegator.py' because 'delegator' and 'delegator.py' are two different projects on PyPI. I've written about this to the maintainer. Otherwise the package is fine.) This package is not needed I think. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-envoy/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#34844] Deletion Request for vlmcsd-svn
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 May '22

27 May '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for vlmcsd-svn [2]: Unneeded legacy VCS package. Original SVN sources seems to be gone, package was switched to download source from a 7zip file (!). But that is gone too (404). The subversion sources have been reuploaded to GitHub. There are two packages tracking that fork on AUR: - vlmcsd - vlmcsd-git This package therefore is not worth keeping. Safe to delete. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/vlmcsd-svn/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#34847] Deletion Request for shadow-capitals
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 May '22

27 May '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for shadow-capitals [2]: Minimally altered version of shadow v4.2.1 from 2016. Arch/core/shadow is at v4.11.1 (2022-02-02). Former owner orphaned it. It seems it is not needed by them or anyone else. There are no user votes. This has been outdated for half a decade but no one even flagged it as outdated. Safe to delete.
