[PRQ#46871] Deletion Request for python2-pandas
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Sep '23

21 Sep '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-pandas [2]: I recommend to delete this now-unused legacy Python2 scientific library. There is only an optional consumer on AUR that refers to this, python2-py6s. And that is also a legacy library and it is not used by anything else anymore (its last dependent was python2-arcsi, which has been long broken due to H5Py/GDAL incompatibility, so it got deleted.)

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-libappindicator [2]: No functioning package needs this Python2 bindings library from 2020. acestream-engine is a broken orphan from 2022 and its latest upstream version needs Python3.

[PRQ#46837] Deletion Request for python2-apsw
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Sep '23

21 Sep '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-apsw [2]: It is not useful to keep this deprecated Python2 bindings library from Jan-2022 for sqlite3. It is no longer fully compatible with the latter. Its sole AUR consumer, acestream-engine is a defunct orphan from 2022, and its current upstream version needs Python3. Safe to delete this obsolete package. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python2-apsw/

[PRQ#46835] Deletion Request for python2-flask
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Sep '23

21 Sep '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-flask [2]: This legacy Python2 version of the Flask web application framework is not needed or useful to keep. For production purposes it is not just deprecated but also insecure. Current AUR consumer python2-flask-table is already broken due to missing another dependency. And python2-requests only optdepends on it, but actually this was originally a checkdepend of that. However, I found out last year that executing the test suite of that package would have required recreating an excessively large and complex dependency chain just for the purpose of testing that one build. Therefore I decided to put python2-requests' checkdepends in its optdepends, and make the test execution inside check() get launched only if all of the optionally defined checkdepends are satisfied. As several of python2-requests' optional checkdepends don't exist on AUR, no check() function gets run by its PKGBUILD. So at this point, the current maintainer of python2-requests would do best to remove those optdepends, as they are superfluous. Safe to drop this package; no negative impact.
