[PRQ#45527] Deletion Request for python-asciichart
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 29 Oct '23

29 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-asciichart [2]: This Python module fro 2020 should have been named python- asciichartpy, because asciichart is a different, discontinued module. [a] But I recommend deletion chiefly because as it turns out, upstream has not developed the Python module since 2020, and instead, only works on a nodejs module, created in the same GitHub repo [b], for which the last commit is from Jun 2023 as of this writing. [b] Readme and documentation/examples only show nodejs usage.

[PRQ#45526] Deletion Request for python-macs3
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 29 Oct '23

29 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-macs3 [2]: This new package is for a Python CLI application; should be submitted under the 'macs3' name. @vejnar, thank you for sharing this build the AUR community. However, as per Python package guildelines [a], please kindly resubmit this under a rule-conforming name: macs3 Excerpt from naming guidelines [a]: "For Python 3 library modules, use python-modulename. Also use the prefix if the package provides a program that is strongly coupled to the Python ecosystem (e.g. pip or tox). **For other applications, use only the program name**." (emphasis with asterisks mine) [a]: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Python_package_guidelines [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-macs3/

[PRQ#45525] Deletion Request for python-filetags
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 29 Oct '23

29 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-filetags [2]: This package uses pip install [modulename] in PKGBUILD, which is not allowed. Maintainer seems MIA since years. But as no other package depends on this, and there are no comments or votes, I recommend deletion.

[PRQ#45522] Deletion Request for com.qq.weixin.work.deepin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 29 Oct '23

29 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for com.qq.weixin.work.deepin [2]: Orphan legacy package from 2021; broken as per last user comment. There's a newer and maintained pkg for currently supported v4 release: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/com.qq.weixin.work.deepin-x11 I chose to submit a deletion request because I think the comments here pertain the old v3 release, which has had problems for years. The comments discussing these would be confusing if imported to the AUR page of the newer v4 package. The current maintainer of the latter package has left a link to it in a comment in 2022, so users should have been well informed.

[PRQ#45520] Deletion Request for deepin.com.qq.rtx2015
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 29 Oct '23

29 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for deepin.com.qq.rtx2015 [2]: Orphan legacy package, and its release archive has been deleted from Deepin repo more than 14 months ago. Only I submitted this information to AUR, no one else wrote anything apart from former owner who made one comment in 2020.

[PRQ#45519] Deletion Request for com.taobao.wangwang.deepin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 29 Oct '23

29 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for com.taobao.wangwang.deepin [2]: Orphan package. Seems this version is discontinued by upstream (Alibaba). Has been having problems already last year, and as per the newest user comment from 2023-04, it is now totally defunct, doesn't work at all. Upstream website also just redirects to a landing page informing about the newer major version 10 of this client (current package is for v9.2). Therefore I recommend deletion.

[PRQ#45518] Deletion Request for com.freepiano.deepin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 29 Oct '23

29 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for com.freepiano.deepin [2]: Orphan package for the legacy FreePiano2 from 2015. There exists a new FreePiano3 (no AUR package yet). I recommend deleting this abandoned package; seems not used by anyone now. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/com.freepiano.deepin/

[PRQ#45517] Deletion Request for teams-for-linux-electron-bin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 29 Oct '23

29 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for teams-for-linux-electron-bin [2]: New package, duplicates the slightly earlier-submitted AUR package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/teams-for-linux-bin The package name here is also misleading: the other package is also Electron-based, the only difference is that this package removes the bundled runtime, whereas teams-for-linux-bin doesn't (yet). But instead of creating duplicate packages, one should suggest enhancements to exiting ones, and I did that recently on the AUR page of the latter. Please delete this superfluous package.

[PRQ#45508] Deletion Request for python-offshoot-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 29 Oct '23

29 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-offshoot-git [2]: Development discontinued since 2018, [a] in its upstream repo as well, and the latter is even archived. [b] Package is broken since 2022-03 but owner did not attend to it. So now it seems safe to recommend deletion. [a]: https://github.com/greyltc/offshoot [b]: https://github.com/SerpentAI/offshoot [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-offshoot-git/
