[aur-requests] [PRQ#36433] Deletion Request for python2-setuptools-lint
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Aug '22

01 Aug '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-setuptools-lint [2]: Orphaned Python 2 package. Was only used to let pylint be invoked via setup.py (setuptools). Pylint is only for code development (to automatically check code style and quality). This abandoned package is not used by anything on AUR, and there are no comments. So I recommend deletion. (Also, this module has been discontinued since 2018, as the Python ecosystem moves away from using setuptools altogether.)

[aur-requests] [PRQ#36075] Deletion Request for python2-spectacle
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Aug '22

01 Aug '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-spectacle [2]: I suggest to delete this Mer/MeeGo Python 2 helper module, since it seems to have been discontinued years ago. (There was some Python 3 commit in 2020, but that is not relevant to this package.) MeeGo is now Tizen and focuses on cars I think. Nothing depends on this Python 2 module. So it's safe to delete. Also it helps to reduce AUR's Python 2 footprint (less packages for volunteers to try to maintain).

[aur-requests] [PRQ#36076] Deletion Request for python2-cheetah
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Aug '22

01 Aug '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-cheetah [2]: I suggest to delete this Python2-only module discontinued in 2010. Nothing actually needs it on AUR. Two dependents are now Python 3 based, the other two are obsolete and pending deletion. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python2-cheetah/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#36450] Deletion Request for qgis-1.6
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Aug '22

01 Aug '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for qgis-1.6 [2]: Orphaned package, last updated in 2015. There is only 1 user comment, from 2017. As nothing depends specifically on this, and because Arch repo carries the current version, I suggest to delete it.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#36451] Deletion Request for python2-palm
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Aug '22

01 Aug '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-palm [2]: Orphaned package. Python Protobuf library module discontinued since 2013. [a] Sources gone (deleted) from PyPI. Current 'palm' module there is unrelated and has been published first in 2021. [b] Therefore I recommend to delete this defunct and deprecated package. Safe to do so: nothing on AUR depends on it and there are no user comments. [a] https://github.com/bumptech/palm [b] https://pypi.org/project/palm/2.0.2 [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python2-palm/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#36072] Deletion Request for sickbeard-mcmic
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Aug '22

01 Aug '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for sickbeard-mcmic [2]: This fork of the SickBeard Python2 based application has been discontinued in 2015. Package broken because of missing/defunct Py2 dep. I recommend to delete this package. No one commented on it, and nothing depends on it. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/sickbeard-mcmic/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35956] Deletion Request for cloog-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Aug '22

01 Aug '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for cloog-git [2]: This VCS package has not been maintained since 2018. It has a few problems so it is not proper; also it uses the old source repo so its version is frozen in time in 2015. As there do not seem to be a demand for fixing it (last comment is from 2018, apart from my remarks from May), I recommend to delete it. AUR has the stable package, cloog, which is maintained and up-to-date. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/cloog-git/
