[PRQ#50023] Deletion Request for python-solc
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Mar '24

18 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-solc [2]: Abandoned, broken Python package, last released in 2018. It has a wrong AUR name (PyPI name is py-solc; PyPI/solc is an unrelated module). But it seems upstream has discontinued maintaining this since same year. 0 votes/comments. Safe to delete.

[PRQ#50037] Deletion Request for bump-pydantic
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Mar '24

18 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for bump-pydantic [2]: This Python tool for a specific use case for Python developers has been dropped from repo to AUR. It is already out-of-date but no one flagged it. I propose deletion. It it not useful to keep as is on AUR. Especially as all versions, including the latest releases, are always available from PyPI. With pyton-pipx it is super easy to manage local installs inside the $HOME dir, and pipx makes sure the executable (bin) files are available on the shell path.

[PRQ#53359] Deletion Request for python2-pickleshare
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 18 Mar '24

18 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-pickleshare [2]: This has already been deleted in response to PRQ#48172 (2023-09-29) [a]. Now it got recreated dead-on-arrival, without declaring a needed dependency. The submitter, Pellegrino Prevete (dual aliases on AUR: @tallero, @truocolo) was MIA for almost the entire year of 2023, but when he's back, he typically pushes broken packages and broken updates. As reverse dependency ipython2 has been dead on AUR since 2021, and got deleted already once, it does not make sense to keep this package. ipython2 has been recreated DOA in 2023-07 and no user commented on it all throughout the year. As per AUR submission guidelines, packages kept here should be in demand by more than a few users. These builds clearly don't hit that particular bar.
