[PRQ#48084] Deletion Request for python2-bcrypt
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 01 Oct '23

01 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-bcrypt [2]: Unneeded Python2 library. It was only optionally used, like by python2-cryptography, for OpenSSH private key support. But none of the few remaining downstream dependent packages need that kind of functionality. Safe to delete.

30 Sep '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for leap_mouse [2]: 3-commit project from 2019 [a], with AUR packaging issues unresolved since 2022 (using sudo in PKGBUILD). The AUR/leap-motion (SDK+driver) package has been reported having crashes in 2019 and unbuildable in 2021, it has been discontinued since 2015. Submitted it for deletion: PRQ#44852. Better to delete this defunct package as well.

[PRQ#45344] Deletion Request for python-bumpversion
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 30 Sep '23

30 Sep '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-bumpversion [2]: Duplicate of AUR/bumpversion. This is a Python based CLI utility, so its name doesn't need the 'python-' prefix. But both packages are superfluous, since this project is dead since 2019. [a] Project readme recommends the friendly community fork called bump2version, available from PyPI and AUR. Users and dependent packages should be able to utilize the latter as they are API-compatible.

[PRQ#45345] Merge Request for bumpversion
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 30 Sep '23

30 Sep '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge bumpversion [2] into bump2version [3]: The bumpversion project is dead since 2019; it is succeeded by the friendly community fork called bump2version. [a] Last AUR comment of bumpversion from 2020 points users to the new package, so they should be well aware by now. [a]: https://github.com/peritus/bumpversion [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/bumpversion/ [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/bump2version/

[PRQ#45347] Deletion Request for ethminer-ocl-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 30 Sep '23

30 Sep '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ethminer-ocl-git [2]: Discontinued since Apr 2022, repo archived. [a] On Sep 15, 2022, the original Ethereum was replaced by the incompatible Ethereum 2, which no longer requires coin mining because it is based on proof-of-stake, not proof-of-work like Ethereum 1. [b] Therefore old Ethereum tools like this one are no longer viable with the current mainstream version. (Though there is a community hard fork of this called etcminer, for what is now dubbed "Ethereum Classic". [c] Not currently available on AUR, but it would need a new package anyway due to the new name and incompatible changes.) [a]: https://github.com/ethereum-mining/ethminer [b]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethereum [c]: https://github.com/colin-i/etcminer [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/ethminer-ocl-git/
