[PRQ#42835] Deletion Request for graceful-greeter

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for graceful-greeter [2]: There is no "Graceful Linux" distro. Google results only show unrelated stuff. The few AUR/graceful-* packages from user @dingjing are not useful. There are no documentation on how to put together a "Graceful Linux" themed, seemingly Qt and LightDM based custom install. Not even basic stuff, like what desktop framework/environment it supports. From GitHub commit history, it can be seen that actual code was developed only in 2020 and 2021. Since then, only packaging and metadata and comment/readme changes were done, many times quite randomly and without utility. And so far all packages I've checked from @dingjing are badly package, suspicious, without documentation, and seemingly not useful for "outsiders" who lack information about what was going on in the creator's head. For all I know, this seems like a pet project of a Chinese-speaking person done mostly during the COVID quarantine years.

Re: [aur-requests] [PRQ#17219] Deletion Request for opensesame

by Martin Corley

Hi folks, I don't have time to maintain this package any more (and my co-maintainer never contributed) so if you can tell me what best to do with it, I'm happy to help (with apologies). *bsosenba* the software is alive and well, and certainly open source -- see osdoc.c <http://osdoc.cogsci.nl/download>ogsci.nl/download <http://osdoc.cogsci.nl/download>. I have a working "local" copy of opensesame if you're interested (one reason I never uploaded it to the AUR was because Sebastiaan likes proliferating libraries and there's just too much to update) Best --MC On Sun, 5 Jan 2020 at 20:04, <notify(a)aur.archlinux.org> wrote: > bsosenba [1] filed a deletion request for opensesame [2]: > > Upstream URL (http://www.cogsci.nl/software/opensesame) is closed- > source and unavailable > > [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/bsosenba/ > [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/opensesame/ > The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, > with registration number SC005336. > > -- > Martin Corley >

Re: [PRQ#45622] Deletion Request for img2pdf+

by Marcell Meszaros

Python pip installation was never allowed in PKGBUILD's. This package however uses pyinstaller in PKGBUILD, which should also not be done. As it bundles many other modules into a single package instead of using other pacman-installable packages as dependencies. One should follow the Python package guidelines to create a pacman package: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Python_package_guidelines#Installation_met… This package has a standard pyproject.toml, so it should be built with python-build and installed to $pkgdir with python-installer. You don't have to delete this AUR package, you can adapt it to conform to the established Arch standards.

[PRQ#43239] Deletion Request for mesa-steamos

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mesa-steamos [2]: This package doesn't make sense to have. Name suggests it duplicates SteamOS package, but maintainer actually tries (and fails) to duplicate the Steam Deck version of the package. Which is not the same, given that Steam Deck gets periodical batches of upgrades, not minute-by-minute rolling updates as on Arch. Current package version is '22.2.0.157821.radeonsi_3.4.0_2'. But the commit message for this update says "Update to SteamOS 3.4.6". Well, as per Valve's release announcement, Steam Deck 3.4.6 has Mesa 23.1. [a] @LukeShortCloud, please don't confuse SteamOS per se with Steam Deck when it comes to package naming. Steam Deck has a different release cadence than main SteamOS. If you want to maintain packages for Steam Deck, use the '-steamdeck' suffix in package name. Even then, don't duplicate alredy existing Steam Deck / SteamOS packages for no reason. Thank you.

But you can submit a request from your AUR/python-pixcat-an-prata page and select 'Merge' as the type, and enter the name of the new git package as the target. In the comment field, you can type something like "Renaming git VCS package". This request will also have to be accepted by a PM, but as you are the maintainer, your request will be treated with priority. Here is a quick link for you from where you can submit that 'Merge' type request (which is used on AUR for package renames): https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-pixcat-an-prata/request?next=%2Fpk… Cheers, Marcell / MarsSeed

[PRQ#69300] Deletion Request for nginx-nchan-git

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org

a821 [1] filed a deletion request for nginx-nchan-git [2]: Abandoned and very outdated PKGBUILD. No votes nor comments. The main problem is it tries to provide a very old nginx, when in reality, this should simply be a nginx module. BUT, the module already exists in the AUR (in two variants): nginx-mod-nchan and nginx- mainline-mod-nchan, both are up-to-date and follow the naming convention (see nginx-mod-* packages in [extra]). They are also what upstream recommends for installation on Arch Linux [0]. Moreover, there's no point in fixing this package, because if so, then this should be submitted as nginx-mod-nchan-git and/or nginx-mainline-mod-nchan-git, meaning this has to be deleted anyway. Note that all the "required by" packages listed in its page are there because this incorrectly provides nginx (no package depends on this explicitly). Safe to delete.

Re: [aur-requests] [PRQ#7122] Deletion Request for ttf-mac-fonts

by John D Jones III

I fail to see how this downloads from a ‘pirated source’ since it comes from the MacBuntu project. I am aware that the pkgbuild needs to be updated to properly use the subversion feature in makepkg, I have not been able to get to it due to having multiple spinal injuries and two surgeries in 2016. Typically if a user comments on the pkg or emails me I make a point to update the pkgbuild as necessary. I guess I’ll hold off on updating the pkgbuild for proper svn support until this request is settled. However I am against the deletion of this pkgbuild fully due to the legal download source provided in the original pkgbuild.

Re: [PRQ#43911] Deletion Request for clementine-git

by Marcell Meszaros

It seems premature to delete this package, for the following reasons: - the project is not at all dead: pull requests and direct commits from humans, not just bots get accepted continually, - some people still prefer Clementine over its fork, Strawberry, - there's a quite active discussion on the stable AUR/clementine package page since repo dropped it, - someone figured out a simple way to fix the build of the latter, - that package has a new maintainer, - the project hasn't released a tagged version since 2016, but as they are continually fixing the build for current systems, it makes sense to keep this package, either for testing purposes or even for daily use.
