[PRQ#42814] Deletion Request for yuicompressor
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for yuicompressor [2]: This JavaScript source compressor has seen its last release in 2013. [a] It is likely not safe to use now but also not needed with modern web transport technologies that have built-in transparent transfer compression. Also its one dependent on AUR, ajenti-git is a broken Python 2 package pending deletion, and its current upstream version does not need this tool.

[PRQ#42811] Deletion Request for htmlcompressor
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for htmlcompressor [2]: Abandoned package from 2016 from a long-discontinued code.google.com project. Broken since at least Dec 2016 as per comment. But last comment is from 2018 (again about being broken). It's best to delete it at this point. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/htmlcompressor/

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-reconfigure [2]: Unneeded Py2 lib. Its dependent ajenti-git is a broken package pending deletion, because its upstream doesn't support Py2 anymore.

[PRQ#42809] Merge Request for python-mail-parser
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge python-mail-parser [2] into mailparser [3]: The former package is a duplicate of the target package. Also please reject PRQ#42758, which is a merge request in the wrong direction. Python packages that are their own executable applications as well, should not have 'python-' name prefix (except a few which are strongly tied to the Python ecosystem infrastructure like pip or tox). Ref: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Python_package_guidelines [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-mail-parser/ [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/mailparser/

[PRQ#42808] Deletion Request for python-mypy_protobuf-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-mypy_protobuf-git [2]: Unmaintained VCS package from 2020, with a not quite proper name (should have been with dash instead of underscore). Declared dependencies are now outdated and therefore wrong. Nothing relies on this package. So it seems unneeded and safe to delete. AUR has the stable package for it: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-mypy-protobuf [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-mypy_protobuf-git/

[PRQ#42807] Deletion Request for ternimal-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ternimal-git [2]: No need for this VCS package. Upstream development halted since 2017. [a] AUR has the latest stable, which is only 2 small nonessential commits older than master branch. [a]: https://github.com/p-e-w/ternimal [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/ternimal-git/

[PRQ#42803] Merge Request for python-theano
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge python-theano [2] into python- theano-pymc [3]: Theano project has been discontinued. The PyMC project forked the code and they made an updated drop-in replacement, available on AUR as well. Better to merge the old theano package to the pymc fork. (The latter is also discontinued btw, in favor of their successor fork called Aesara. But in the meantime, better to keep the theano-pymc fork on AUR for downstream dependent packages.)

[PRQ#42797] Deletion Request for wine64-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for wine64-git [2]: Orphaned VCS package. Does not declare the necessary provides (wine). Therefore it cannot be installed together with other packages that depend on wine. It also does not use the new, pure-64-bit runtime wow64 mode that allows wine 8.x to be built with support for running 32-bit Windows applications without 32-bit Linux libraries. Putting up git PKGBUILD is easy if someone wants to resume having a 64-bit VCS build. But it should be based on the properly maintained and configured new AUR/wine-wow64 package.
