[aur-requests] [PRQ#35633] Deletion Request for cover_grabber
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Jul '22

02 Jul '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for cover_grabber [2]: Orphaned package for an application discontinued in 2013. It was a tool to download album art from Last.fm. As someone who was quite an enthusiast of the latter, I've felt the pain when it was sold to CBS or whoever and started discontinuing all their open API's. I am very sure that this application built 10 years ago with Python 2 also would not work with Last.fm anymore. Therefore I think it won't harm anyone if it's deleted.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35616] Deletion Request for python2-elixir
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Jul '22

02 Jul '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-elixir [2]: This deprecated Python 2 module is not needed. It was last updated in 2009, it is likely incompatible with Python 2.7 like its dependency, python2-sqlalchemy-0.7.9 (deletion request already submitted for that). This package is not actually needed by anything on AUR: * urssus: 'RSS aggregator (PyQt4)', discontinued in 2009; * sparta: 2.0.0 released (2020) for Python3; Elixir not required. Safe to delete.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35615] Deletion Request for python-sqlalchemy-0.7.9
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Jul '22

02 Jul '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-sqlalchemy-0.7.9 [2]: Very old legacy Python package, fixed version from 2012. Last updated in 2015. Today, as it turns out, it doesn't support Python 2.7 (only 2.6 and lower), and doesn't support Python 3.6+, maybe not even Python 3.4+. Its only specific dependent, python2-elixir is itself legacy, deprecated since 2009, and is not needed anymore by anything (its one AUR consumer needs update to the latest version which eliminates the former need for Elixir.) In discussion with previous maintainer @willemw, who disowned the package today with the intention of letting me fix it, we have both came to the same conclusion in the end, that this is not worth the effort of fixing and should be deleted. (python2-sqlalchemy has been dropped from repos, but it could be restored to AUR, as the project still supports Python 2.7 even with its freshest releases in 2022.)
