[PRQ#60974] Deletion Request for wechat-uos-bwrap

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org

7Ji [1] filed a deletion request for wechat-uos-bwrap [2]: The upstream name is Wechat (Universal), and it's released onto both the UOS app store and Kylin OS app store with such name. As its official usage is not limited to UOS it shall not bear uos in its name. As it also uses a mixed tech stack and -[GUI framework] suffix is conventionally used for GUI split package (e.g. transmission-qt is the GUI part of tranmission PKGBUILD) it shall also not bear qt in its name. There're already a lot of packging using wechat-universal as the name base, examples on AUR include -universal-privileged and -universal (without suffix) by lihe07 and -appimage by yifwon; examles outside AUR include -universal-flatpak ( https://github.com/web1n/wechat- universal-flatpak ) by web1n. For a complete history about official WeChat builds and why wechat- universal was chosen, please check the previous reply I made to the related aur-general thread: https://lists.archlinux.org/archives/list/aur- general(a)lists.archlinux.org/message/CFBKZH23X2ZP4VWEXR5HU4FL3ADAIQNL/ . About why deletion instead of merge: as the maintainer of -universal- bwrap and the co-maintainer of -beta-bwrap, I don't want unrelated comments in the history of -universal, neither its votes. While -beta- bwrap was created by leaeasy initially as a fork of -uos-bwrap, the packaging went a different way after I joined to help improving it and it became its own thing, their history is completely different as they had completely different user bases from day 1, and -universal-bwrap, created as a workaround for the AUR limitation that PKGBUILD could not be renamed (PRQ#57762 to merge -beta-bwrap to -universal-bwrap was filed as soon as I pushed the PKGBUILD), would want no history from -uos-bwrap.

Re: [PRQ#42295] Deletion Request for balena-etcher-appimage

by Ashleigh Rowe

Marcell, as per balena's own naming scheme [a], it is Balena Etcher, this is also true of the name of their binaries [b], the packages on other systems [c], and the name of their distributed releases on the github. Agreed that it should be on the latest full release. etcher-bin is not the same as this package. For someone who claims to have nothing against appimages, you sure do seem to spend a lot of time requesting the deletion of them.

Re: [PRQ#43603] Deletion Request for youtube-downloader-appimage

by Ashleigh Rowe

Hi Marcel, The guidelines are important, yes, however please do bear in mind that not all applications will work with the versions of Electron on the repos, in those situations, as well as in the situation where people wish to have a self-contained program, not dependent on an unknown variable, an appimage is justifiable. I hope you'll take this into consideration when making future requests against -appimage packages.

Re: [aur-requests] [PRQ#6184] Deletion Request for ffmpeg-full-nvenc

by Dmitriy Kharitonov

I guess this request should apply to all aur/ffmpeg-full* packages, as they share the same licensing scheme in their PKGBUILDs. Most files in FFmpeg are under LGPL, some optional parts (which are enabled by default in this PKGBUILD) are under GPL. Also, this PKGBUILD includes some options which enable combining with GPL-incompatible external libraries, causing the resulting binary to be unredistributable. The latter is mentioned in UNREDISTRIBUTABLE.txt enclosed with the AUR package. Now I am seeking clarification of license arrays in AUR PKGBUILDs. Should they include only the license of the resulting package as a whole (so, the most restrictive license among its parts)? What are the use cases of multiple license entries, which are mentioned in wiki <https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD#license>? Also, I guess, license in PKGBUILD should be set according to configure options pre-defined by package maintainer, so if some user wants to delete or add the "--use-non-free" line, they should change the license by themselves, but what if the license of the resulting package is decided by the presence of some optdepend library autodetected by ./configure? Finally, I'd be very grateful to to see more coverage of licensing issues in Arch wiki and guides. This area is complicated enough as it is, and applying it to Arch LInux packaging is even more tricky for me.

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

Since no further discussion has taken place regarding this PKGBUILD and the fact that I've updated it to properly use the updated features in makepkg. I propose that this request be closed and denied, as mentioned earlier in my email 19 days ago, that the fonts are part of the macbuntu project and thus does not constitute a 'pirated source'.
