[aur-requests] [PRQ#34605] Deletion Request for dev-horo-git

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for dev-horo-git [2]: I suggest the deletion of this package. VCS last updated in 2017, then the source code repository got archived (made read-only) so no new commits or issues can be submitted. Package and source readme does not say at all what this program was made to do, but from the source itself it seems it was a Linux kernel DKMS module to provide an interface to the included userspace 'horoproxy' library, which also does not declare what it is supposed to do. But it has a web API endpoint hardcoded: http://voidisprogramer.com:9999/api That web service is not available anymore. On the merit of the points above, I think it is advisable to delete this abandoned and likely nonfunctional kernel module VCS package from 2017.

[PRQ#49120] Deletion Request for pikaur-aurnews

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for pikaur-aurnews [2]: Unspecified mod/duplicate of pikaur ("with the live aurnews eggzpatch", say pkgdesc). Deliberately a VCS package in disguise (without a pkgver function), which have been asked to be rectified by @haawda in a comment on 2022-11-28, but maintainer refused. [a] At this point it's obvious that maintainer created this package only for himself and does not care about anyone else. Not useful to keep. There's already the proper AUR/pikaur and pikaur-git. If there's any improvement idea, it could be submitted to upstream, who is the same person who maintains the just-mentioned AUR pikaur builds.

Re: [aur-requests] [PRQ#7171] Deletion Request for syslog-ng-latest

by Surányi Márton

Hi Alad, syslog-ng in official repository is pretty much outdated (flagged as outdated since 2015-10-14). I will delete this AUR package, as soon as the official one is up-to-date.

Re: [PRQ#42288] Deletion Request for ghidra-dev

by Marcell Meszaros

I've missed it, but there already is an AUR/ghidra-git package, linked to my maintainer in comment: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ghidra-git That comment was left 2 years ago, so users should have had plenty of time to get informed. The -git package is properly up-to-date. On 17 June 2023 15:54:12 GMT+02:00, notify(a)aur.archlinux.org wrote: >MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ghidra-dev [2]: > >Unneeded.

Re: [PRQ#46161] Deletion Request for openfoam2.4-git

by Marcell Meszaros

Also the build gracefully skips compiling many components including example and demo apps because of errors. This indicates that the library itself is having problems. Many missing headers are also reported, and lots of C++17 standard incompatibilities, which result in ignored class specifiers. But no one mentioned any of the issues. The build product is most certainly not properly usable anymore.

Don't really know and don't care enough to go look it up. :p

[PRQ#74751] Deletion Request for maybe-git

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org

a821 [1] filed a deletion request for maybe-git [2]: Orphan and EOL since 2018 (github repo archived). No recent comments. I fails to build in a clean chroot because it needs `python-pytest- runner` (not declared). Although adding it fixes the build, the program still doesn't work because it depends on the deprecated `imp` library (python raises an exception). I don't think it's worth trying to fix it (and then discover other issues). Safe to delete. N.B.: Last second before submission I found PRQ#74477 which was rejected about a week ago, but that request didn't provide enough information (I hope I did provided it here)... I just stumbled on this package by chance. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/a821/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/maybe-git/

[PRQ#41800] Deletion Request for mingw-w64-physfs-hg

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mingw-w64-physfs-hg [2]: Orphaned VCS package. Obsolete because upstream project stopped using Mercurial (hg) repo and migrated the source to GitHub. Package last updated in 2017. There is a non-VCS mingw-w64-physfs on AUR. If someone needs a VCS package, they can adapt the PKGBUILD of the latter to use the latest GitHub git commit, and create a new mingw-w64-physfs-git package. There are no votes, and apart from my Mercurial shutdown comment last year, there is only one comment , and it's from 2016. So I conclude it's safe to delete this abandoned and unneeded package.

Re: [PRQ#47658] Deletion Request for daisyduck-bin

by Marcell Meszaros

Additionally, while browsing the web.archive.org copy of the webpage of this discontinued software from 2015, I've realized that it included not just the name but the image as well of the copyrighted cartoon character Daisy Duck, owned by the Walt Disney company, without any license from them. As per earlier AUR Package Maintainers consensus decision, this kind of material is not allowed to be packaged by PKGBUILDs hosted on AUR.
