MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-libcups-minimal-git
[2]:
This package is not needed.
It is the Apple MacOS and iOS version of libcups, but the package
name and description does not convey that.
For non-Apple systems including Linux, the OpenPrinting/CUPS library
should be used, and that's what Arch ships in official repos
(extra/cups, extra/libcups and multilib/lib32-libcups).
Also somehow this Apple version has not seen a new release in two
years.
Its last tag is v2.3.3 (2020-04-28), whereas the OpenPrinting fork's
last version is v2.4.1 (2022-01-27).
Safe to delete, no impact, as nothing in AUR explicitly depends on
this
Apple library build.
