[aur-general] AUR Requests
Hi, (Maintainers, if any, are in CC.) Could you please merge: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python2-imaging/ -> https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python2-imaging-alt/ ** Reason: PIL is being phased out by pillow; 1st is orphan and 2nd one not to be replaced like in [community] Maintainer: please add a replaces=() flag, it should replace python2-imaging and not python-imaging https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python2-socksipy-branch/ -> https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python2-socks/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-socksipy-branch/ ** -> https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-socks/ Reason: socksipy and -branch are dead, socks is maintained and has same API Maintainer: please let me know if you'd like to maintain the new package/why we should keep a dead branch And remove: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sundials25/ ** Reason: sundials=2.5 current and available, package installs into /usr directly and should not be used Unsure about: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/socksipy/ ** The original socksipy is last updated 2006 and known to have multiple issues that are fixed in the new fork, should we keep this? I tested the dependencies damnvid and polly, and both work with python2-socks ** I am not the maintainer of this package. Please consider giving them some time to respond. I'd be also very happy to orphan the new packages if they like to maintain them. cheers Michael

Hi Michael, I will just remove the replaces array in python2-imaging-alt. It's not appropriate/required for the package nowadays anyway. I agree python2-imaging should be deleted or merged into python2-imaging-alt, since when a user installs python2-imaging the next time they go to system update pacman of course offers to replace it with python2-pillow. (Yes I know they /could/ just use IgnorePkg= in pacman.conf) Regards, Rob McCathie (korrode)

I don't agree that this should happen.

I do agree this is what you should do if you want to continue using it, rather than upload an incorrectly named, duplicate package. I will remove python2-imaging-alt. -- Jonathan Steel
