[aur-requests] [PRQ#35576] Deletion Request for python-iowait
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Jul '22

18 Jul '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-iowait [2]: This has been discontinued in 2013. It is not needed anymore by anything, including its only dependency referrer on AUR, circus, which is an orphaned package last updated in 2018. (The newer version of the latter needs different dependencies, and this one is not among them.) Therefore its safe to delete this deprecated package.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35590] Deletion Request for linuxdcpp
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Jul '22

18 Jul '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for linuxdcpp [2]: I suggest to delete this legacy package, it is now broken. Has been discontinued since 2011. There are current and working DC++ file sharing clients for Linux, like the AUR packages eiskaltdcpp-gtk and eiskaltdcpp-gtk. Therefore it should not be detrimental to AUR users to delete this, since it doesn't work. I've left a comment on the package page so people would be informed. Also they can just search for 'dcpp' or 'dc++' on AUR and they would find the alternatives. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/linuxdcpp/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35645] Deletion Request for python2-topia.termextract
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Jul '22

18 Jul '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-topia.termextract [2]: I suggest to delete this, as it's discontinued in 2009, so it has a high chance of not working with Python 2.7, as well as because Arch has dropped python2-pip last autumn so its dependency, python2-zope-interface cannot be built. Also, this is not required by any other packages on AUR. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python2-topia.termextract/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35429] Deletion Request for obnam
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Jul '22

18 Jul '22

ejona86 [1] filed a deletion request for obnam [2]: Obnam has been clearly publicized as dead for 5 years. That should have been enough time for people to get their data out of it. The website is gone at this point, although it is still possible to build the package. You might see there is an obnam 2, but it is a completely separate project that shares no relationship with the original, other than reusing its name and being started by the same person. Obnam2 isn't compatible with obnam 1 (including no migration), is a complete rewrite in a different language, has a different architecture, and is still alpha and lacks basics like authentication.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35506] Deletion Request for perl-extutils-makemaker-aur
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Jul '22

18 Jul '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for perl-extutils-makemaker-aur [2]: I suggest deletion of this package due to redundancy. This has a misleading '-aur' suffix and is just providing this: perl-extutils-makemaker=7.64 But that is also provided by Arch [core] perl-5.36.0. So it's safe to drop this from AUR.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35550] Deletion Request for python-openapi-codec
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Jul '22

18 Jul '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-openapi-codec [2]: This Python module has been discontinued in 2017. Has not been tested with Python 3.6 and newer. Nothing actually depends on it anymore. (I've notified the maintainer of the only package that still defines it as dependency, to remove the reference to this package.) Build is broken because of missing Python 2 modules. FYR this module was an implementation of OpenAPI/Swagger, but there are newer implementations supporting the current version of those standards. (AUR/netbox-git's project, too, has migrated to one of those alternatives.) [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-openapi-codec/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#36471] Deletion Request for archlinux-baseline
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Jul '22

18 Jul '22

yan12125 [1] filed a deletion request for archlinux-baseline [2]: Same reason as https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur- requests/2022-July/074453.html > 100% unofficial, makes it sound like an official Arch project (this name should likely be blacklisted) [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/yan12125/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/archlinux-baseline/
