[aur-requests] [PRQ#35795] Deletion Request for babel2

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for babel2 [2]: This legacy AI / machine grammar related research app has been discontinued under the 'Babel2' name some time after 2016, when this orphaned AUR package was last updated. Linked source and website unavailable. Later the initiative and the website was renewed, and the application toolkit was made available as closed-source, free of charge suite, with a 'core' part of it being developed as open-source on a hosted Gitlab, under the name 'ehai/babel-core' (not the same as 'babel-core' JavaScript-related library hosted by Arch [community]). Anyway, this package is defunct, and the forked new version has a different name and maybe codebase. So it should be considered a new application under a new package name, if someone wanted to make it available on AUR.

[PRQ#49317] Deletion Request for qt5-multimedia-git

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for qt5-multimedia-git [2]: Not useful to keep this package. Qt5 is EOL since May 2023. This PKGBUILD currently builds from upstream's dev branch for Qt6, and has a pkgver() that does not properly guarantee monotonic increase. Also, Qt Group's public Qt5 branch is typically behind the source used by the stable PKGBUILD in extra repo, because Qt devs delay pushing Qt5 patches by one year, whereas the KDE project cherry-picks and backports most of the patches accepted for Qt5 but not yet publicly pushed by Qt Group. Therefore the extra repo build is better for users to use, because it is based on newer code which has less bugs. And because of all this, the extra/qt5* packages are quite like git VCS packages.

[PRQ#42980] Deletion Request for stationhub

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org

CorruptComputer [1] filed a deletion request for stationhub [2]: I flagged this as out of date a few months ago and left a comment, but it seems that no one wants to maintain this. The version of the application here crashes without a manual change to a file anyways. See https://github.com/unitystation/stationhub/issues/168 for info on that if you want it. Happens on all Linux distros with the binary distributed with this version of the application. Soon though even if you get past that, the application will not work. The application at the version it was packaged is using Firebase authentication, and the project is in the process of moving away from Firebase so if anyone uses this version after that they will not be able to use the application at all.

Re: [PRQ#60117] Merge Request for flutter-bin

by xiota

This merge request would leave AUR without a working stable flutter package. The requester [a] is the maintainer of `flutter` [b] and associated packages [c]. A couple months ago, he split `flutter` into numerous dysfunctional subpackages across multiple pkgbases. They typically work for a short period after being updated, but quickly go out of sync and stop working (usually within days). Evidence of this may be seen in numerous commments complaining about the package. `flutter-bin` [d] is needed to provide users with a working flutter. It has to provide and conflict with all `flutter`-associated to capture the depends. Having provides/conflicts with only flutter is insufficient because the maintainer of `flutter` has encouraged other packages to depend on subpackages. At the time of its creation, `flutter-bin` was tested and confirmed to satisfy flutter-related build depends, except for `flutter` itself. Whether `flutter-bin` continues functioning in this capacity depends on how the other packages are maintained, and is not a valid reason for deletion or merge. This package, like most AUR package, does not affect other packages on systems that do not have it installed. While a user did mistakenly attempt to use `flutter-bin` to build `flutter`, the conflicts correctly prevented them from co-installing conflicting packages. This is the packaging working as intended, not "breaking" anything. The scenario can be prevented by updating the pinned install instructions at `flutter` to inform users that `flutter-bin` is incompatible with the 17 `flutter`-associated subpackages.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#36223] Deletion Request for linode-api-python-git

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for linode-api-python-git [2]: This Python2-only binding for the old Linode API seems not needed anymore. Discontinued since 2016 [a], its last release was in 2015. [b] In the interim, there was a linode_api3 module (for Linode API v3). (Has been discontinued after 2017.) [c] Currently only the linode-api4 Python module seems to be supported (compatible with Linode API v4.) [d] The stable v4 version of the API exists since 2018. [e] The last maintainer of this package disowned it after my asking if this package is still required. Therefore I suggest to delete it. Safe to do so: nothing on AUR depends on it.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#36770] Deletion Request for firefox-beta-i18n

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for firefox-beta-i18n [2]: Please kindly delete this again. It was deleted on 16 Apr 2022, then re-pushed by @bittin on 20 Apr 2022. Original request for deletion was: https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur- requests/2022-March/069119.html Package has been defunct since Dec 2021, because it had a version- constrained dependency on AUR/firefox-beta which was not updated after Nov 2021. @bittin was the maintainer of this package and a co-maintainer of AUR/firefox-beta but they never updated the latter, only the former. So along with this package, the permanently unmaintained AUR/firefox- beta got deleted on 16 Apr 2022 - original request for the latter was: https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur- requests/2022-March/069118.html But then @bittin re-pushed this obsolete package without recreating and updating the corresponding firefox-beta package. @bittin does not ever respond to any message of mine, but they continue to re-flag this obsolete package as out-of-date whenever a new Firefox Beta is out. Meanwhile there is no firefox-beta on AUR so this package is not needed. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/firefox-beta-i18n/

[PRQ#43347] Deletion Request for liquidfun

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for liquidfun [2]: Orphan package from 2015. Cannot be built: missing a dependency. It is a fork and extension of box2d v2.3.0 from 2013. Project development seems to have halted since 2018. [a] Last release was in 2014. [b] This package wrongly declares it provides box2d. This was intended to be a divergent extension and fork, not one that promises compatibility with box2d. The box2d project, on the other hand, is developed actively. Last stable is from 2020 and is available in repo. Commits are pushed continually, last one is from Feb 2023. Better to delete this broken package without a maintainer and with misleading provides. Nothing on AUR depends on this, only on box2d.

[PRQ#49914] Deletion Request for welle.io-soapysdr

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for welle.io-soapysdr [2]: Unmaintained fork pkg of sdr-j-dab, last updated in Feb 2022. Seems unused on AUR. Reported defunct on GitHub in many use cases, see details below. AUR has a package for a still active continuation fork of the same origin, called qt-dab. [a] [Details] This fork seems to have become abandonware: - Last released in Feb 2022. [b] - After that, only 2 minor, inconsequential pull requests got merged, in Aug 2022. [c] - There are many issues reporting that it is defunct with many different setups, or crashes. [d] Developer no longer responds to issues or PR's. I recommend deletion. Users can get a much better experience with qt- dab, whose project actively addresses issues and feature requests.
