[aur-requests] [PRQ#36222] Deletion Request for dgengine-physfs-git

[notify at aur.archlinux.org]

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for dgengine-physfs-git [2]:

Orphaned package, last updated in 2018.
GitHub repo archived sometime after Jan 2021. [a]

Package name is misleading: this is a physfs mod, not dgenine.

Source was forked from physfs in 2016. Its aim was to embed MPQ
support (Blizzard's game data format) via StormLib (by copying its
source to this repo). [b]

This was intended to be used by DGEngine, a Diablo Engine remake.

But this separate library is not needed, because since at least
May 2021, DGEngine includes its own PhysFs wrapper for StormLib, and
it can use an external (system-installed) StormLib as well. [c]

The build requires the unmodified upstream PhysFs as the basis for
its customized add-on. [d]

Nothing on AUR depends specifically on this deprecated fork, so it's
safe to delete.

(physfs is available in repo, stormlib is in AUR. Currently there is
no dgengine in Arch/AUR. But if someone wanted to create such a
package, they would not need this one.)
