[PRQ#62044] Deletion Request for ballontranslator-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Aug '24

23 Aug '24

micwoj92 [1] filed a deletion request for ballontranslator-git [2]: Installation doesn't work as upstream changed directory layout in repository. 0 votes and only 1 comment which mentions that it fails to build. Even dependencies for this are not packaged, in .install file it says to use "pip install" for deps that are not packaged yet. I doubt this package ever worked as even the first commit message is "first commit that may or may not work".

[PRQ#62427] Deletion Request for perl-package-generator
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Aug '24

23 Aug '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for perl-package-generator [2]: Abandoned, defunct pkg from 2017. Upstream abandoned since 2013 and is an orphan on CPAN. [a] It does not seem to have reverse CPAN dependencies that are actively maintained since 2016. [b] Dependency chain cannot be built since maybe submission (2017), as its low-level depend 'perl-check-isa' from same year cannot be built due to lacking the declaration of a key requirement. Both this package and several of its dependencies were submitted in 2017 by same submitter, and have 1 votes, 0 comments and 0.000000 popularity.

23 Aug '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-angr-git [2]: Broken, abandoned, badly packaged hybrid Python2/Python3 VCS pkg from 2019. With many similarly problematic and orphaned VCS pkg deps.
