[aur-requests] [PRQ#33171] Deletion Request for wine-mono-gecko-version-fix

[notify at aur.archlinux.org]

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for wine-mono-gecko-version-fix
[2]:

Incompatible with current Wine, Gecko, Mono.
Upstream URL is also down.
No response from maintainer to submitted issues since 18 Feb 2021.

Package last updated on 2020-11-24.

It is not clear what this package is supposed to do.

I've asked the maintainer to clarify it but I got no response.

It was supposed to fix some popup issue with Wine that relates to Wine
Gecko and Wine Mono.

But I've never experienced such issues since I started actively using
Wine in 2020 and I always have Wine Gecko and Wine Mono installed.

Package was reported to conflict with wine-mono package
on 18 Feb 2021, more than a year ago:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wine-mono-gecko-version-
fix#comment-792337

Maintainer hasn't responded.

I'd say it's safe to delete this package because it seems to have been
created in 2020 to solve a problem that doesn't exist anymore, and
instead this package just creates problems of its own.

Also, if there is ever any packaging issue with Arch wine or wine-*
packages, those should be addressed on the Arch bug tracking system,
not by creating (and then not maintaining) some custom Pacman hooks on
AUR.
