[aur-requests] [PRQ#36716] Deletion Request for mkdn-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Aug '22

02 Aug '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mkdn-git [2]: This read-only markdown previewer has been discontinued since 2011. [a] It is based on Python2, Gtk/Gtk2 and the legacy webkitgtk/webkitgtk2. I suggest to delete this VCS package, because there are dozens of user applications to view and/or edit markdown text. Also, sources fail to download since 6 months ago but no one complained. There is no indication that anyone really needs this package. [a] https://github.com/rupa/mkdn [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/mkdn-git/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#36717] Deletion Request for lib32-nss-pam-ldapd
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Aug '22

02 Aug '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-nss-pam-ldapd [2]: Orphaned lib32 package for [community] repo's nss-pam-ldapd. The latter uses Python 3, whereas this lib32 addon which was last updated in 2018 still uses Python 2. For that reason it is defunct since at least Dec 2019, when one of its Python 2 dependencies got dropped from repo. Now it is missing two Py2 deps. Nothing on AUR depends on it and there are no votes or comments. So I recommend to delete this unneeded and broken package.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#36730] Deletion Request for python2-h5py
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Aug '22

02 Aug '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-h5py [2]: Please delete this broken and unneeded package. HDF5 has discontinued Python 2 support 3 years ago, in 2019. So this package fails to compile because it is incompatible with the current API headers of the binary HDF5 scientific data format library. Current owner @joaquinito2051 never updates any packages. He has adopted 100+ packages on AUR so far without doing any work on them, and he never responds to any messages or comments. He is unlikely to catch up with 3 years of engineering work to make this Python2-to- binary bindings module buildable and usable again.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#36723] Deletion Request for python2-gcp-devrel-py-tools
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Aug '22

02 Aug '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-gcp-devrel-py-tools [2]: Please kindly delete this Python 2 package. It is not needed by anything. I've originally imported it to AUR together with python2-urllib3, because this was in the latter's checkdepends() array. I've since realized that it is not mandatory for testing. URLlib3 1.26.11 still has its built-in support for running on Google AppEngine via gcp-devrel-py-tools and using its Python2-only 'URLFetch' service, but this feature has not seen much development during the last few years. [a] Google AppEngine support has been removed from the main branch for the upcoming URLlib3 v2.0 release, because the latter project is about to drop Python 2 altogether. [b] Anyway, this deprecated support was only used if running python- urllib3 with Python 2 on Google AppEngine itself. I am not sure if it is possible to run Arch Linux on it, as it seems it is a Platform-as- a-Service (PaaS) having its own OS. Also, Python 2 is deprecated so Google's cloud platforms are in the process of phasing it out for good. The gcp-devrel-py-tools project seems to have been neglected / unmaintained by Google since 2020. [c] It is not officially deprecated yet, but there are already byte- compilation errors at least when building with Python 2.7. All in all, it's best to delete this package.
