[aur-requests] [PRQ#34997] Deletion Request for ncpfs-module-dkms

[notify at aur.archlinux.org]

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ncpfs-module-dkms [2]:

Orphaned package, last updated in 2017.

Novell NetWare ncpfs kernel module to access NetWare Server shares.

Novell NetWare was last released in 2009 and is 100% EOL sine 2017.

The creator of this package detailed their struggles in 2017 to
try to get this module to build, but finally they gave it up.
Since Linux kernel 4.16 it seems too many problems manifested
themselves with this package.

Anyway, this is not needed by anything or anyone, since there are
essentially no more Novell NetWare servers at any production
server hosting sites or enterprise locations.
