Hi all,

Looking for a bit of help with two new python packages I uploaded to AUR. Packages in question are python-root_numpy & python-hep_ml.

So I think I've done the PKGBUILDs correctly, but when I run namcap on

packages I get warnings about unneeded dependencies included and specifically for hep_ml I get warning about not including any ELF files but not labelling it as 'any' platform.

sed -i -e ... $(find -name '*.py') is terrible, see http://mywiki.wooledge.org/ParsingLs for why, as well as the proper way to do this.

Please do not add pointless `msg "now I'm doing this thing that was obvious from context"` messages.

As for namcap warning about unneeded dependencies, namcap is a rough hack and one of its big weaknesses is reliably determining what is actually a needed dependency. It can only really detect shared library dependencies, and assumes anything else, like for example python module dependencies, are unneeded...

Take everything namcap says with a grain of salt, it can be useful to point out potential trouble spots but is hardly authoritative.

My issue is that I have included only dependencies that are listed by the package developers, but I still have namcap complaining. Also, I thought we weren't not supposed to label packages as 'any'. Or am I wrong?

If this were true, then why does "any" exist?
