by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Jun '22

18 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for pytimechart-git [2]: Discontinued after 2013; its GitHub VCS repo is now inactive (read- only). Original author recommends using the following from the Google Android project: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/perfetto-git Safe to delete this package; doesn't work, and nothing depends on it.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35274] Deletion Request for python2-fluiddyn-hg
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Jun '22

18 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-fluiddyn-hg [2]: I suggest to delete this legacy Python 2 based package, since the source code supports Python 3 and this Python 2 based one is heavily broken on AUR because of so many missing dependencies. Maintainer @jadelord expressed that they no longer actively use Arch Linux so it is not possible for them to take an active role in the upkeep of this package. Safe to delete from here, not needed by any working package on AUR. (Its two dependents come from the same source distribution, also support Python 3 now, and are owned by the same maintainer here, @jadelord. I've discussed the matter of maintenance of these package with them and I think the conclusions are that people should simply create new Python 3 packages for this, or use other Python module distribution channels if they really need legacy Python 2 based version.)

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35272] Deletion Request for python2-fluidfft-hg
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Jun '22

18 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-fluidfft-hg [2]: I suggest to delete this legacy Python 2 based package, since the source code supports Python 3 and this Python 2 based one is heavily broken on AUR because of so many missing dependencies. Maintainer @jadelord expressed that they no longer use Arch Linux so it is not possible for them to take an active role in the upkeep of this package. Many core scientific Python modules have deliberately moved on from Python 2 to support Python 3 exclusively during the last 3 years; therefore legacy Python 2 scientific library package maintenance is best be avoided, or otherwise would be a significant effort. (Maybe pip/PyPI or Conda/Conda-Forge could be a working option for those people who might need such deprecated versions.) Safe to delete from here, not needed by any working package on AUR. (Its one dependent has the same issue as this one; already submitted deletion request.) [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python2-fluidfft-hg/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35270] Deletion Request for python2-baseband
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Jun '22

18 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-baseband [2]: I suggest to delete this package since this Python 2 based legacy version from 2018 is beyond repair on AUR, as python2-astropy is gone and python2-h5py from 2018 is not compatible anymore with the hdf5 scientific data format library C API headers. Safe to delete; nothing here depends on it. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python2-baseband/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35266] Merge Request for mysql-utilities-beta
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge mysql-utilities-beta [2] into mysql-utilities [3]: There are no betas anymore; EOL since 2018, only latest stable is available from 2017.
