[aur-requests] [PRQ#35501] Deletion Request for python2-docs-devhelp
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Jun '22

27 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-docs-devhelp [2]: I suggest to delete this GNOME DevHelp documentation for Python 2, because python2-sphinx is defunct so this cannot be packaged. Also no one should develop in Python 2 for GNOME as it is unsupported. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python2-docs-devhelp/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35498] Deletion Request for python2-stscitools
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Jun '22

27 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-stscitools [2]: I suggest to delete this deprecated Python 2 package from 2017. It has no consumers on AUR. Since 2019, a huge number of astronomy and cosmology projects moved exclusively to Python 3, and now the Python 2 modules are incompatible with the foundational binary libraries like HDF5. Therefore the Python 2 ecosystem for these packages are virtually nonexistent now. It is beneficial to eliminate the unused packages from here, to help volunteers focus their efforts on where it is actually making a difference.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35499] Deletion Request for python2-stsci.distutils
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Jun '22

27 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-stsci.distutils [2]: This Space Telescope related Python 2 distutils extension is essentially dead (missing a dependency). I suggest deletion; only Python 3 works now for astronomy packages. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python2-stsci.distutils/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35496] Deletion Request for python-pyfits
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Jun '22

27 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-pyfits [2]: Deprecated in 2017 with the description: "Please use astropy.io.fits instead" [a] I suggest deletion; its only optional consumer is a -git package and that also does not need it anymore (notified the maintainer about this). [a] https://pypi.org/project/pyfits/ [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-pyfits/

27 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-pyfits [2]: Deprecated in 2017 with the description: "Please use astropy.io.fits instead" [a] I suggest deletion. It has no AUR consumers. It is beneficial to eliminate the unused packages from here, to help volunteers focus their efforts. Since 2019, AstroPy and other scientific projects moved exclusively to Python 3, and now the Python 2 modules are incompatible with the foundational binary libraries like HDF5.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35492] Deletion Request for python2-astropy-healpix
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Jun '22

27 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-astropy-healpix [2]: Suggest to delete this, as all AstroPy-related packages moved to Python 3 after 2019 and dont's work in Python 2 because of the incompatible binary bindings. Only the defunct python2-gammapy and python2-reproject use this on AUR, and I've submitted a deletion request for them already based on the same rationale.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35493] Deletion Request for python2-astroquery-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Jun '22

27 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-astroquery-git [2]: Suggest to delete this, as all AstroPy-related packages moved to Python 3 after 2019 and don't work in Python 2 because of the incompatible binary bindings. Nothing depends on this package, and also it is only possible to use this with Python 3 anyway.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35495] Deletion Request for python2-astropy-helpers
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Jun '22

27 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-astropy-helpers [2]: Suggest to delete this, as all AstroPy-related packages moved to Python 3 after 2019 and don't work in Python 2 because of the incompatible binary bindings. I've tried to revive the package for python2-astropy and python2-h5py, but had to realize that the code is 3 years behind the HDF5 binary library's API, so it is not feasible for any single person to catch up with that within conceivable time frames. This one has just a few AUR dependents, and all of them are broken AstroPy consumers, having discontinued Python 2 support in 2019. (Deletion request submitted for all.)

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35490] Deletion Request for python2-gammapy
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Jun '22

27 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-gammapy [2]: Suggest to delete this; all AstroPy-related astronomy and cosmology packages moved to Python 3 after 2019, and now the Python 2 ones are defunct because of the dropped and incompatible Python bindings for HDF5 scientific data format binary library. Cannot be built or used due to missing and defunct dependencies. But safe to delete from AUR as nothing depends on it here.
