[aur-requests] [PRQ#33490] Deletion Request for jack-stub
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 07 Apr '22

07 Apr '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for jack-stub [2]: Please remove this dummy package. It is dysfunctional and breaks software that depend on jack/jack2. It creates a stub .so ELF library that exports some jack symbols for empty functions. It's been created in 2018 to stub out jack1, and never kept up-to-date. Arch only has jack2 now but this package is harmful for that as well. So it serves no useful purpose, there's no two ways about it. :) [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/jack-stub/

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for smbclient-stub [2]: Please remove this dummy package. This is dysfunctional and breaks software that depend on smbclient. It serves no useful purpose. Smbclient is small and can easily be disabled via systemd if someone does not need it. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/smbclient-stub/

FabioLolix [1] filed a deletion request for xmind-electron [2]: Another duplicate of xmind, would be nice if you worked to update the main pkgbuild instead of creating duplicates [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/FabioLolix/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/xmind-electron/

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 07 Apr '22

07 Apr '22

Beebo [1] filed a deletion request for waiho.app [2]: It seems that the homepage and upstream source is down for good. Since the app doesn't compile without patches and has been unmaintained for the past *several* years, I think that the best option is to remove the package.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#33479] Deletion Request for nvidia-dkms-performance
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 07 Apr '22

07 Apr '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for nvidia-dkms-performance [2]: Please delete this abandoned package, as per suggestion of its former maintainer. This is a binary-hacked / hex-patched NVIDIA driver and is unsafe. That is why its creator has abandoned it. Instead they have created a new AUR/nvidia-tweaks package which fine-tunes the NVIDIA driver safely via modprobe config files. Quote verbatim from former package owner: " Cabopust commented on 2021-10-17 13:39 (CEST) (edited on 2021-10-17 13:40 (CEST) by Cabopust) I am discontinuing support for this package. As I wrote below, I do not see the point of this package and it also brought a lot of pain to users with erroneous updates. I recommend that all users uninstall this package and not return to it again. As an alternative I created a new package nvidia-tweaks ( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvidia-tweaks/ ) which does all the same optimizations made in this package, but in a more correct way without many problems. The nvidia-tweaks package does not care where you get the driver modules from or what version they are, it just does it through modprobe configuration files."
