Re: [PRQ#38987] Deletion Request for drumstick-svn

> plcl [1] filed a deletion request for drumstick-svn [2]: > > This package is orphan, and a perfectly fine package is available in > the Community repository. > > [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/plcl/ > [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/drumstick-svn/ Hi, I'm the upstream author of the drumstick libraries. I'm also the upstream author of vmpk[3], dmidiplayer[4], kmetronome[5] and kmidimon[6]. I've filed this deletion request because this unmaintained package has caused troubles to several users of my other applications depending on drumstick. In particular, there was an AUR package for kmidimon that was crashing at runtime. It is solved now because kmidimon has been moved to Arch Community, but there are still AUR packages for vmpk, dmidiplayer and kmetronome that may suffer similar problems. * My programs can be compiled with Qt5 or Qt6 right now. The preferred Qt version can be specified with the cmake option USE_QT=5/6 at configuration time. In Arch you may have both Qt versions installed, and in that case if you build drumstick with one version and the other programs with another version, troubles will arise. * There is a drumstick[7] package at Arch Community, depending on Qt6, well maintained including the new sonivox dependency. This drumstick-svn package is not. * I'm planning to move the source repository to Git soon. The SVN repository will remain read-only and frozen in time forever, like this package. * I always follow the "release early, release often" philosophy. In fact, there is no difference between the latest drumstick v2.7.2 and SVN revision r684. * I would understand the existence of different AUR packages if they provide different features/variations. For instance, there could be an AUR package providing drumstick-qt5 along with vmpk-qt5, dmidiplayer-qt5 and kmetronome-qt5 with explicit/strong dependencies to qt5 and drumstick-qt5. But the current situation is calling for troubles with little/no gain. * And finally, please get in touch with upstream authors. There was little dialog between AUR users/maintainers and this developer in the past. Please file bugs/requests and report crashes with stack traces. Thanks!

[PRQ#62155] Deletion Request for azure-cli-bin

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for azure-cli-bin [2]: The azure-cli package has been added to Arch/extra repo in March 2024. I don't think it is very useful to keep this old-distro-targeting (Debian Bookworm), Python 3.11 based upstream build, which btw contains its own Python 3.11 runtimes (python3, pip, pbr, etc.) and binary+Python-module ecosystem in the install, with up to two hundred of its own Python modules. Also this PKGBUILD strips the upstream binaries, therefore the installed package is useless for crash reporting purposes. Upstream's binaries are also less secure than the Arch build, as the ELF files here lack full RELRO and PIE. The AUR package is also configured improperly: - It defines 'python' as its dependency, but it is not true, as I mentioned, this package installs its own /opt/az/bin/python3 symlink to the /opt/az/bin/python3.11 runtime. - Man viewing doesn't work in the AUR package, as the relevant files are installed inside /opt/az and not to their proper places inside '/usr/share'. - Bash completions get installed in the wrong place, inside /etc/bash_completon.d, instead of the expected '/usr/share/bash- completion/completions'. - It does not install the mandatory MIT license file. I am observing that there is a discrepancy in AUR PM decisionmaking regarding keeping or deleting upstream's binary releases from AUR when a source-based build gets added to the official Arch repos. I typically saw Arch Developers like @arojas, and Package Maintainers like @Antiz delete '-bin' counterparts of Arch repo packages from AUR, citing the reason that the in such cases the '-bin' builds do not add any meaningful benefit to users. I think this specific PKGBUILD has even stronger than typical reasons to be dropped from AUR. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/azure-cli-bin/

Re: [PRQ#42352] Deletion Request for prusa-slicer-bin

by Marcell Meszaros

@Orax, You can create a package for release candidate (rc) versions if you would like to. Suggested names e.g.: prusa-slicer-rc-bin -or- prusa-slicer-preview-bin In package description, you can add "(preview version)" or "(release candidate)". It could provide either the latest stable or the latest preview / release candidate, whichever is newer. That package would not be considered a duplicate variant of the repo package. It is valid and allowed on AUR to have devel/alpha/beta/preview/rc whatever packages.

Re: [PRQ#42226] Deletion Request for wire-desktop-appimage

by Marcell Meszaros

> So, by your own admission, it is not a duplicate of a repo package then? Hi Asleigh, Thank you for your reply. The way I see it, the Arch repo version integrates better with the system and does not include unnecessary bloat. The AUR AppImage version carries its own Electron runtime rather than using one available from Arch repo. The feature set is the same. So, for all intents and purposes, the AUR package is the same for users. Except the latter takes up more space, and is potentially more insecure There are frequent updates of Electron in repo. The AUR package won't update its built-in electron separately. On the other hand, repo's wire-desktop package will always use the latest repo-updated version of its electron runtime. All in all, the AUR version is an inferior duplicate. In my understanding, it is only useful to have AppImage packages of especially Electron-based applications on AUR if the Arch repo does not carry that application.

The [community] package is python-semantic-version. It was moved from the AUR, and the AUR version was deleted at the time: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/log/PKGBUILD?h=python-semantic-versi… This package was first uploaded half a year after the package with a "-" instead of a "_" was first uploaded, however, the original version (not yours) was simply migrated from AUR 3 to AUR 4 ("Initial import" four days after the great migration began) so I'm not sure how long it existed before that. So your package was just a duplicate since its inception. Sorry. :( > Is that AUR removal process automatic or manual?

It is manual, but you can see the list of duplicates using something like this: $ declare -f aurdupes aurdupes () { comm -12 <(pacman -Sql core extra community multilib| sort) <(curl -s https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.gz | gzip -d | sed 1d | sort ) } Since the package names are different, they don't even register as duplicates and you should be able to push to it just fine (which you *cannot* do for a package in community, as it would be added to the "this is in community" blacklist) -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User

Re: [PRQ#43605] Deletion Request for advanced-rest-client-appimage

It turns out that AUR/advanced-rest-client [a] is a binary package made from DEB release, so that should be renamed to have a -bin suffix, and this package is a duplicate of that, just based on AppImage.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#596] Deletion Request for drupal-l10n-af
