[PRQ#43164] Deletion Request for nogil-python
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 17 Aug '23

17 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for nogil-python [2]: Orphan fork of Python (CPython); still based on v3.9.10. AUR submission: 2022-01 Last update: 2022-04 Experimental, proof-of-concept variant, as per README. [a] Not useful to users, it's still under R&D. Without a maintainer, it's best to delete.

[PRQ#43159] Deletion Request for v8-6.7-static
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 17 Aug '23

17 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for v8-6.7-static [2]: Orphan pkg; last update 2019. Not needed by its one mandatory dependent, mysql-shell: as per comments there, that utility needs a newer version of v8 than this. There are optional consumers of this package, but they can (and do) use the newer AUR/v8 package instead of this. Safe to delete it.

[PRQ#43158] Deletion Request for pulseaudio-dlna-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 17 Aug '23

17 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for pulseaudio-dlna-git [2]: Abandoned VCS pkg from 2019; still on Python2. I got no response for 16 months mentioning the new continuation fork of the original dead project, supporting Python3 and newer versions of pychromecast. Not useful to keep as is. AUR has a maintained stable pulseaudio-dlna package. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/pulseaudio-dlna-git/

[PRQ#43148] Deletion Request for amule-adnza
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 17 Aug '23

17 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for amule-adnza [2]: Fork of Amule; last released in 2012. In 2018 and 2019, several commenters noted divergent build failures. Package remains unfixed ever since that (5 years). Better to delete. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/amule-adnza/

[PRQ#43147] Deletion Request for amule-adnza-daemon-svn
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 17 Aug '23

17 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for amule-adnza-daemon-svn [2]: Development on this fork of Amule has stopped since 2019. [a] (Last release was in 2012.) I think keeping this package is not needed. Someone reported on the AUR/amule-adnza package page in 2019 that both that and this variant fails to build. (Andt that was the last comment there. As for this package, only maintainer left one comment in 2016.)

[PRQ#43144] Deletion Request for python-zipstream
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 17 Aug '23

17 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-zipstream [2]: Discontinued since 2016. [a] Was only tested with up to Python 3.5. Not needed: there's a drop-in replacement fork, python-zipstream-ng; AUR has the latest version of it, from May 2023. [a]: https://pypi.org/project/zipstream/ [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-zipstream/

[PRQ#43138] Deletion Request for pcsclite-nopy
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 17 Aug '23

17 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for pcsclite-nopy [2]: 16-months outdated duplicate of repo package: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/pcsclite/ Makes the build with Python, just then declares python runtime dependency as optional. But that is the exact same thing repo's pcsclite does. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/pcsclite-nopy/

[PRQ#43130] Deletion Request for python-pydirl
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 17 Aug '23

17 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-pydirl [2]: Unmaintained Py2/Py3 dual package, last updated in 2017. Project discontinued since that time. [a] "simple static webserver and directory listing" Broken: both Py2 and Py3 dependencies are missing. There are other, working alternatives for this trivial use case. [a]: https://github.com/ael-code/pydirl [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-pydirl/
