[PRQ#45722] Deletion Request for python-pythonz-bd
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 31 Oct '23

31 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-pythonz-bd [2]: Orphan, defunct package. This fork of the original pythonz "Python installation manager" was last released in 2017. [a] It only supports to install specific Python interpreter versions that are added to a 'versions.py', with each version's corresponding tarball checksum. [b] As of the latest version, it only supports installing CPython 2.4 through 3.5.1, PyPy 1.8 through 4.0.1, PyPy3 2.3.1 & 2.4.0, and some other old interpreter variants. [b] Nothing depends on it, and the last few comments are from 2017. Seems not needed and not useful to keep.

[PRQ#45721] Deletion Request for jython-hg
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 31 Oct '23

31 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for jython-hg [2]: Defunct, orphan VCS package from 2017. Since 2020, jython source code has been migrated to GitHub git repository, so this no longer builds the latest code. There's no corresponding jython-git package, but as this has only 1 vote and no comments, it is safe to delete. Arch repo carries the latest stable jython.

[PRQ#45708] Deletion Request for perl-calendar-simple
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 31 Oct '23

31 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for perl-calendar-simple [2]: Abandoned Perl module from 2015. Missing 6 point releases. I flagged it OOD a year ago. But as nothing depends on it, and is without any comments, I recommend deletion at this point.

[PRQ#45707] Deletion Request for mypaint-brushes-deevad
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 31 Oct '23

31 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mypaint-brushes-deevad [2]: MyPaint brush defintions from 2012; source URL for ZIP file hosted on DeviantArt is defunct. Upstream website also says to download the .zip file from DeviantArt, and links to one illustration picture there. The download link on that page leads to a loginwall.

[PRQ#45706] Deletion Request for lib32-libwmf
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 31 Oct '23

31 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-libwmf [2]: Microsoft's non-device-independent 16-bit vector graphics format from 1992 for Windows 3.1, not needed by any 32-bit package for 64-bit systems. This does not support EMF files which are the newer generation of this format and is used in many Microsoft proprietary documents. libwmf was an optional build-time dependency of lib32-gimp, whose PKGBUILD no longer links to it on AUR. (And lib32-gimp is only used on AUR by some old scanner drivers, which definitely don't want anything to do with vector graphics formats.)

[PRQ#45705] Deletion Request for linuxdeployqt
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 31 Oct '23

31 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for linuxdeployqt [2]: Abandoned package from 2020. This is a tool to build and create AppImages on certain LTS distros. It will never work on Arch Linux [a]: "linuxdeployqt refuses to work on systems any newer than the oldest currently still-supported Ubuntu LTS release." Also, a fixed-version package is pointless for this, as the project deprecated all of their release tags, and only the "continuous" build's installable package is supported. [b] As per readme, on newer systems, the official appimagetool can be used to build an AppImage. [a][c] [a]: https://github.com/probonopd/linuxdeployqt#a-note-on-binary- compatibility [b]: https://github.com/probonopd/linuxdeployqt/releases [c]: https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/releases [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/linuxdeployqt/

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 31 Oct '23

31 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-proboscis [2]: Discontinued Python2/Python3 testing framework addon to Python's built-in unittest. Last released in 2013. [a] The official source code repository that the PyPI page links to has been deleted (404). [b] Nothing depends on this package, safe to delete. [a]: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/proboscis/ [b]: https://github.com/rackspace/python-proboscis [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-proboscis/

[PRQ#45701] Deletion Request for python-fusesoc-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 30 Oct '23

30 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-fusesoc-git [2]: Orphan VCS pkg from 2020, short time effort. CLI application, so name shouldn't have had the 'python-' prefix. Does not declare the proper provides. Broken due to undeclared dependencies. No one expressed interest: 0 votes/comments. Extra repo carries the stable package.
