Attempting to clean my AUR apps/packages

General system Pacman & AUR helpers
62

I must admit…it was WAY past time for me to look at what I have installed. So, after drilling down & removing a bunch of cruft…I have:

pacman -Qm

brave-bin 1:1.91.172-1
brother-hl2270dw 2.1.0_2-5
gnu-netcat 0.7.1-12
gridcoinresearch-qt 5.5.1.0-1
igsc-git 1.0.0.r0.g5a69634-1
libestr 0.1.11-1
libfastjson 1.2304.0-1
liblogging 1.0.6-3
liboping 1.10.0-16
librelp 1.10.0-1
libxmlrpc 1:1.64.03-1
neofetch 7.1.0-2
openrgb-git 0.9.1974.g4306603-1
openrgb-plugin-effects-git 0.9.113.g56ed8f0-1
opentrack 2026.1.0-4
phoronix-test-suite 10.8.4-2
preload 0.6.4-9
pwrate 1.7.1-2
rsyslog 8.2604.0-1
themechanger-git r55.d478e0a-1
vkbasalt 0.3.2.10-1
xplane-sdk-devel 4.3.0-1

The opentrack & xplane stuff is for an IR headtracker I’m getting in the next couple of weeks…will post about my experiences with it. Coming from trackhat.org Looks to be real fun!! I think that everything else is safe…just don’t know if I really need liboping or not (I think it was pulled with netcat).

Why you are using neofetch? You could install fastfetch from the Arch Repo. :wink:

I think I’ll pass the following packages from my list and will use other sources.

grub-theme-endeavouros
plasma6-applets-appgrid
plasma6-applets-panel-colorizer
samsung-unified-driver
samsung-unified-driver-common
samsung-unified-driver-printer
samsung-unified-driver-scanner

@DenalB is right - neofetch became deceased two years ago - https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch

fastfetch is an excellent replacement.
