by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 25 Jun '23

[PRQ#42650] Deletion Request for python-easyaccess-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 25 Jun '23

25 Jun '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-easyaccess-git [2]: Very broken Py2/Py3 VCS package. Orphaned. Last updated in 2019. Niche application (SQL interpreter client for astronomical databases; needs Oracle DB). Package has 0 votes, and only I commented a year ago about its brokenness. As there's no interest to maintain it on AUR, I am asking for deletion. Scientists can still install this via Docker, or from Conda-Forge / PyPI.

[PRQ#42653] Deletion Request for python-fitsio-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 25 Jun '23

25 Jun '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-fitsio-git [2]: Unneeded, unmaintained dual Py2/Py3 VCS package for astronomical research. Last updated in 2019. All its dependents are similarly outdated, orphaned. All are broken. Deletion request pending for every one of them. This package has never fixed its pkgver() and never declared the needed provides/conflicts. Has 0 votes, and there's only one comment from 2021 about the wrong versioning. Not needed: AUR has a maintained, recently updated stable alternative: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-fitsio Safe to delete this leftover VCS package.

[PRQ#42648] Deletion Request for python-spotify-ripper-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 25 Jun '23

25 Jun '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-spotify-ripper-git [2]: Defunct "Spotify ripper" VCS package. Development stopped in 2016. [a] It relied on official libspotify, which has been marked deprecated upstream in 2015 and Spotify stopped issuing new developer access keys for its API's. As per project's readme. [b] It still continued to work for years, but as of 2022, API access has been completely shut down, as per GitHub issue #68 [c], linking to Spotify press release. [d] Please kindly delete this package.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 25 Jun '23

25 Jun '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-htsql [2]: Defunct, orphan Py2 package from 2018. For a library last released in 2013. [a] Broken because of wrong Py2 dep. Project seems dead since 2013. [b] Looks like they were creating an alternative SQL query language. But all's history now. Best to delete this package. 1 vote, 0 comments. Its one addon dependent also unneeded and broken (pending deletion via separate request). [a]: https://pypi.org/project/HTSQL/ [b]: https://www.htsql.org/blog/ [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python2-htsql/

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-htsql-pgsql [2]: Broken, orphan Py2 package from 2018. For a library last released in 2013.

[PRQ#42660] Deletion Request for python-lrzip
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 25 Jun '23

25 Jun '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-lrzip [2]: Deprecated, defunct Py2/Py3 bindings library for old lrzip from 2016. The Py project itself discontinued since 2017. [a] Lrzip has removed liblrzip and the public Lrzip.h in Feb and Mar 2022 releases, so this binding can no longer work. [b] Please kindly delete this package. [a]: https://github.com/kata198/python-lrzip [b]: https://github.com/ckolivas/lrzip/releases [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-lrzip/

[PRQ#42658] Deletion Request for python-sounddevice-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 25 Jun '23

25 Jun '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-sounddevice-git [2]: Unmaintained, abandoned Py2/Py3 VCS package. Last updated in 2018. pkgver() is not monotonic, and PKGBUILD doesn't declare the needed provides field. Therefore nothing depends on it on AUR. It has 1 vote and only my one comment from a year ago about needing to drop Py2 subpackage, as upstream requires Py3 now. Arch carries the up-to-date stable version: https://archlinux.org/packages/?q=python-sounddevice Safe to delete this leftover VCS package.

[PRQ#42671] Deletion Request for sconsify
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 25 Jun '23

25 Jun '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for sconsify [2]: Deprecated Spotify CLI player. Development stopped since 2020. [a] The app has become defunct since April 2022. As libspotify access got shut down by Spotify. [b] Therefore no application that relied on it can access any Spotify data or media anymore. Nothing depends on this package on AUR, and there are no comments since 2018. Safe to delete it. [a]: https://github.com/fabiofalci/sconsify/ [b]: https://developer.spotify.com/blog/2022-04-12/libspotify-sunset [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/sconsify/
