Please submit a constructive and well-reasoned feedback as a comment on the AURweb page of this package. I do not think this PKGBUILD (installer recipe) violates any EULA. Vague opinions are not legal arguments. This package is named well in accordance of all AUR guidelines, whereas 'wechat-bin' is not. Upstream is closed-source, so the package should be named 'wechat'. Also, the maintainer of AUR/wechat is actually responsive to user feedback, and has taken steps to address previous objections of forcing this to use bubblewrap sandbox. Now that is made optional, so users can choose whether to use it with or without bwrap.

If someone else can orphan it, that would be great. I am OK with this.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#21475] Deletion Request for wslu-git

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org

eschwartz [1] filed a deletion request for wslu-git [2]: The AUR does not permit upload of packages which are intended for a non-Arch distribution, and are not useful, or don't work, on Arch. AUR packages must be written with the intention of working and achieving their purpose, at a minimum, on archlinux x86_64 (but may optionally support additional targets, e.g. ARM support is popular, Manjaro users often upload manjaro themes that can be equally used on Arch, users of parabola or artix upload openrc/runit based packages which can be used to install the official Arch installation media, then build your own alternative init system and replace systemd, thus being functional and useful on archlinux). Adding insult to injury, this PKGBUILD doesn't even function; it includes a nonsense pkgver rather than the one the pkgver() function generates, and the pkgver() function has a sed command with invalid references to nonexistent capture groups. This PKGBUILD wasn't even *tested*. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/eschwartz/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/wslu-git/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#27785] Deletion Request for termite-barbuk

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org

thiagowfx [1] filed a deletion request for termite-barbuk [2]: I think there's no value in keeping the AUR full of personal forks, like `termine-<username>`. People should use their own hosting for that (e.g. github). I have worked with `termite-aperezdc` and suggested they merge their package with `termite`, and they agreed to it. The `termite` maintainer also agreed to collaborate with `aperezdc`. Similarly, I think `barbuk` should not keep their own copy in the AUR. If they are interested, consider asking to be a co-maintainer of the `termite` package as well. But we really shouldn't start to have a dozen forks in the AUR, especially if the forks just happen to mirror the usernames of its maintainers. That said, this is my opinion and I just want to make the AUR better. I suggest to wait for `barbuk` to reply before taking action to delete this package though, they should have a right to state their point of view. Thanks!

[PRQ#66906] Deletion Request for qt5-datasync

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for qt5-datasync [2]: Discontinued Qt 5.13 (not 5.15) based personal project module of submitter. EOL since 2019; GitHub repo is archived. [a] Submitter did not even update the AUR package to the last version (4.2.3-6 from Nov 13, 2019), it was kept on 4.2.3-4 from Jun 24, 2019. [b] This version information is not reflected in pkgver, it is hidden in a hardcoded dash number suffix in the source array ("#tag=${pkgver}-4").[c] The PKGBUILD itself is hackish, see e.g. this line inside the build() function: make || true # will fail because of QTBUG-76521 Dependency 'kwallet' is now a Qt6 library, so it is no longer compatible.

[PRQ#45944] Deletion Request for wasteland2

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for wasteland2 [2]: Seems to be an unmaintained package from 2016. Owner did not respond to PKGBUILD enhancement request made 2 years ago. Also it is not useful to keep this package. It is intended for a GOG release of a game, but uses an unrelated upstream URL that now shows 404. For the source file, there's no link at all - so it does not use a GOG downloader nor a direct file link. Also the package name is wrong and misleading. Not just because it doesn't include the customary '-gog' qualifier, but also because GOG now distributes two different versions of the game: - 'Deluxe Edition' of the Director's Cut version - 'Classic Eition' of the Director's Cut version I think it's best to delete this package. It's easier to install the game version of the user's choice manually, or using a game manager frontend like Lutris.

If you want I could submit a separated FreeNX v4 package. However I cannot find a single reason to delete the working nx-all package. -- Muflone

[aur-requests] [PRQ#18886] Deletion Request for ib-controller

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org

benalexau [1] filed a deletion request for ib-controller [2]: The "ib-controller" AUR package no longer works. It has been entirely replaced by the "ibc" AUR package. The community has been informed of this via a pinned comment on the "ib-controller" package since April 2019. The background to this change was the upstream software for "ib- controller" [1] is no longer maintained. As shown at [1] the last commit was January 2018. Furthermore the principal upstream developer of "ib-controller" publicly declared in April 2019 that he will now focuses his work entirely on the replacement "ibc" project [2]. The latter is packaged in the "ibc" AUR package. As such removal of the "ib-controller" AUR package does not remove any working or maintained software from the community, but helps community members more easily find the working, maintained successor package (as they don't need to consult the pinned comment for background).

[PRQ#68096] Deletion Request for wechat

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org

Nan_cykup [1] filed a deletion request for wechat [2]: AUR/wechat has illegally merged[1] AUR/wechat-bin (which is much cleaner than this) and AUR/wechat-bwrap, setting "placeholder" packages[2,3] and trying to force end-users to use AUR/wechat. This maintainer also changed the package's source to "UOS system" version[4], while the official version is available from wechat's official website.[5] (while AUR/wechat-bin respects the origin) Before this user can finally figure out how dependencies work, and respect the final/original source of this software, I think we should remove this package to not break up purity for dependencies.
