[aur-requests] [PRQ#35794] Deletion Request for babel
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Jul '22

18 Jul '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for babel [2]: This experimental CLI app that generates some random-like string based on a specific grammar algorithm has been discontinued in 2018. The linked source tarball is unavailable because all former release tags have been deleted from GitHub. Therefore I recommend deleting this. Also seems unused. Nothing depends on it, and there are no user comments or votes. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/babel/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35795] Deletion Request for babel2
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Jul '22

18 Jul '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for babel2 [2]: This legacy AI / machine grammar related research app has been discontinued under the 'Babel2' name some time after 2016, when this orphaned AUR package was last updated. Linked source and website unavailable. Later the initiative and the website was renewed, and the application toolkit was made available as closed-source, free of charge suite, with a 'core' part of it being developed as open-source on a hosted Gitlab, under the name 'ehai/babel-core' (not the same as 'babel-core' JavaScript-related library hosted by Arch [community]). Anyway, this package is defunct, and the forked new version has a different name and maybe codebase. So it should be considered a new application under a new package name, if someone wanted to make it available on AUR.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35799] Deletion Request for python-pylibscrypt-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Jul '22

18 Jul '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-pylibscrypt-git [2]: This VCS package is unmaintained since 2015. Project is still alive, but commits are infrequent. It seems the code is developed offline, and roughly once a year, a lot a commits get pushed to the online repo, then a new release gets tagged. As such, I recommend deleting this abandoned '-git' package. The maintained AUR/python-pylibscrypt should be enough for users.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35800] Deletion Request for cutecoin-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Jul '22

18 Jul '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for cutecoin-git [2]: This VCS package seems unmaintained; last updated in 2015. The GitHub mirror it links to stopped being updated in 2018. There is a main Gitlab repo; but development there also stopped 18 months ago (Jan 2021). So I recommend deleting this package. Seems no one used it the last few years. There are no comments or votes. Nothing depends on it so it's safe to remove from AUR. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/cutecoin-git/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35801] Orphan Request for rnc2rng
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Jul '22

18 Jul '22

MarsSeed [1] filed an orphan request for rnc2rng [2]: Maintainer seems MIA since 2015 when this was uploaded and never updated. The project, meanwhile, has pushed out regular releases and is still alive. Please disown so someone can take over (maybe me, if I have the time).

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35792] Deletion Request for splitviewfuse-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Jul '22

18 Jul '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for splitviewfuse-git [2]: VCS package for a legacy Python 2 and fuse2 based overlay FS overlay library, "to virtually split large files in a directory". Discontinued 6 years ago, in 2016. Therefore no need for a VCS package any longer. There still exist a stable AUR/splitviewfuse package, though not sure if that one is used by anyone or not.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35793] Deletion Request for cl-jupyter
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Jul '22

18 Jul '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for cl-jupyter [2]: VCS package without proper suffix and missing pkgver() function. Development discontinued in 2018. There is a renamed continuation fork, available on AUR: common-lisp-jupyter-git. Therefore no need to keep this one here (and it's also broken now).

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35790] Deletion Request for python2-psycogreen
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Jul '22

18 Jul '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-psycogreen [2]: Orphaned Python 2 module, uploaded and never updated in 2015. Never worked either, because it lacks makedepends=python2-setuptools. Nothing depends on it so I recommend deleting it. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python2-psycogreen/
