Hi guys, I wrote a little pyalpm script for finding blacklist replacements (as in the second column in blacklist.txt).
I'll be polishing it up and committing it soon, but it did identify a few problems/concerns. - unrar is replaced by both libre/unar and pcr/gna-unrar. libre/unar should drop the replaces=(unrar) line, and pcr/gna-unrar should be moved to libre. - tensorflow has several other versions that are not blacklisted: tensorflow-opt and tensorflow-opt-cuda. I think that this is an argument toward prioritizing switching to pkgbase-based blacklisting. - b43-fwcutter is not replaced by, but is provided by libre/b43-tools. For one, I am flabbergasted that whatever freedom issues b43-fwcutter has aren't also issues with b43-tools. Secondly, b43-tools should probably replaces=(b43-fwcutter), or be renamed to b43-fwcutter. - Why does linux-libre-pck provide linux-zen? Replacing it (which it doesn't do) makes a little bit of sense, but providing it makes no sense to me. - What's the deal with pcr/mesa-vanilla replacing a bunch of nvidia stuff? It seems that mesa-vanilla is unmaintained since emulatorman and coadde left, we should just drop it? - The following packages are on pcr, but should be moved to libre: figlet, mplayer-vaapi -- Happy hacking, ~ Luke Shumaker _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list Dev@lists.parabola.nu https://lists.parabola.nu/mailman/listinfo/dev
