by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 07 Aug '22

07 Aug '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-libpebble-git [2]: Development in repo discontinued since 2014. [a] The Pebble company was shut down in 2016 and support for its smartwatches ceased after 2018. [b] This is an orphan package and is defunct because of a missing Py2 dependency.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 07 Aug '22

07 Aug '22

jclds139 [1] filed a deletion request for goodix-touchscreen-dkms-git [2]: I think this is no longer needed since the functionality has been upstreamed, though with a slightly different implementation. I definitely no longer use it or see a need to maintain the PKGBUILD. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/jclds139/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/goodix-touchscreen-dkms-git/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#36790] Deletion Request for pylibpcap
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 07 Aug '22

07 Aug '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for pylibpcap [2]: This Python 2 binding for libpcap has been discontinued after 2012.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#36791] Deletion Request for lepton-snippet-manager-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 07 Aug '22

07 Aug '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lepton-snippet-manager-git [2]: Orphaned VCS package, last updated in 2017. Got flagged in 2018 for failing the build. I suggest to delete this, as it's defunct in its current form and not useful to keep. There is a lepton-snippet-manager-appimage package in AUR. Its name should end with -bin, not -appimage, but apart from this minor nonconformance, it is maintained properly and is up-to-date.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#36800] Deletion Request for python2-wand
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 07 Aug '22

07 Aug '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-wand [2]: This is an unmaintained package - last updated in 2019 and still uses the outdated libmagick6. But it is not needed anymore - its two AUR dependents are both unmaintained dummy metapackages, and, and they dont's seem to serve any useful purpose. Also maintainer does not respond about queries about these packages, or to OOD flags - since at least Jan/Feb 2022. Python 2 packages that are unneeded are best be deleted.
