[PRQ#45531] Deletion Request for hdfview-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 29 Oct '23

29 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for hdfview-git [2]: Abandoned VCS package from 2019, tracking the old, discontinued project repo which hasn't been updated for 2 years. But seems no one noticed: 0 comments, and there are also no votes. It is not useful to keep this package in its current state. Owner does not update their packages for the last 2-3 years (maybe with the exception of one or two). AUR has the latest stable version of this tool: - hdfview - hdfview-bin [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/hdfview-git/

[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.
