[PRQ#41689] Deletion Request for lightdm-pantheon-greeter-git

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org

xiota [1] filed a deletion request for lightdm-pantheon-greeter-git [2]: Modifying my previous deletion request (PRQ#41468) by providing additional information and explanation. I had previously thought this package is a duplicate of extra/lightdm-pantheon-greeter, rather, it is a *near* duplicate. While the extra package does not fully track git, it is written to use selected git commits. If this practice is expected to continue in the extra package, the AUR package may be considered sufficiently similar to warrant deletion. Further, this package fails to satisfy the "useful" criterion of the AUR submission guidelines, defined as "more than a few people would find this package useful". In Dec 2020, a commit was made that broke this package. This package has few enough users that this problem apparently went unnoticed until Apr 2023. After being notified of the issue via comment, there was no response for well over a month. Upon noticing the issue, the maintainer did fix it, but then dropped the package, so that it is now unmaintained.

[PRQ#51798] Deletion Request for weblate

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for weblate [2]: Disowned, broken Python/Django based web server application for software localization teams. Last updated: 2023-03-08. Submitter @BubuIIC's commented on the same date that they'll stop running this on Arch and won't carry on maintainership of this package. They also remarked that it's unlikely that anyone else was using this package, and it is a pain to maintain, due to frequently mismatching dependency versions between this application's needs and those available in Arch repositories. AUR votes: 0; comments: only 1. It also relies on many now long abandoned AUR dependencies that were only used by this package. Therefore it is not beneficial to keep here any longer. People who need this are best served by using other means of deployment and update management, e.g. Python venv, Docker, etc. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/weblate/

Re: [PRQ#49089] Deletion Request for phonon-qt4-mplayer-git

There are alternatives for Phonon-Qt4-backends. But btw there are no longer any functioning multimedia-requiring Qt4 packages on AUR.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#31736] Deletion Request for lib32-ffmpeg-semifull-git

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-ffmpeg-semifull-git [2]: Seems like there is zero interest in this 32-bit git development version of ffmpeg. There are already working stable alternative lib32 packages here. Historically Wine has been the biggest consumer of 32-bit ffmpeg, but they are close to eliminating 32-bit runtime dependencies. I am already able to run my 32-bit games in 64-bit wineprefixes, which use 64-bit Linux libraries. Any specific package needing ffmpeg can rely on stable AUR/lib32-ffmpeg. This PKGBUILD has not been updated since September 2017. The package is not buildable in its current state. It is missing 16 (!) mandatory runtime dependencies and 1 make dependency, all of which have been completely dropped from Arch and AUR. Safe to delete this unneeded package, as there are up-to-date working alternatives in AUR, for those remaining 32-bit use cases that still exist.

Re: [PRQ#42634] Deletion Request for senpai

by Marcell Meszaros

+1 for deletion. > seems like there's very little interest in this package Indeed: hasn't even been updated to the Senpai Chess Engine v2.0 (2017-11-10). It's still at v1.0 (2014-03-17). Chess engines are niche products. Better to use this package name for more popular software. The new version of the chess engine can be uploaded later at any time under a new name (e.g. senpai-chess), if ever someone wants to maintain it on AUR. (Which has not yet happened in the last almost 6 years.)

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35274] Deletion Request for python2-fluiddyn-hg

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-fluiddyn-hg [2]: I suggest to delete this legacy Python 2 based package, since the source code supports Python 3 and this Python 2 based one is heavily broken on AUR because of so many missing dependencies. Maintainer @jadelord expressed that they no longer actively use Arch Linux so it is not possible for them to take an active role in the upkeep of this package. Safe to delete from here, not needed by any working package on AUR. (Its two dependents come from the same source distribution, also support Python 3 now, and are owned by the same maintainer here, @jadelord. I've discussed the matter of maintenance of these package with them and I think the conclusions are that people should simply create new Python 3 packages for this, or use other Python module distribution channels if they really need legacy Python 2 based version.)

[PRQ#46612] Deletion Request for audacious2-plugins

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for audacious2-plugins [2]: Unmaintained old, broken Audacious 3.2 plugins package from 2015. Repo carries the current Audacious 4.3.1 and its plugins, built with Qt5 atm. AUR also has the same version of audacious-plugins-gtk3. This package is built with gtk2, which the project still seems to support, but the package name here is misleading. It suggests as if this was for Audacious 2.x rather than its current 3.2. There is a missing dependency since 2023-06, which the owner did not address. I recommend deletion. Last comment is from 2019, in which a user requested a dependency change to align with repo's jack2, but nothing happened. If still needed, an updated PKGBUILD could be submitted any time, but that should have the pkgname audacious-plugins-gtk2 to align with the other variant on AUR. This is not a GNOME project where it was customary to attach "2" at the end of the package name for gtk2 builds.

FWIW, I don't think it's weird, there are several packages in the official extra repo that also use specific commits because upstream hasn't tagged yet.
