[PRQ#48343] Deletion Request for perl-test-more-git
MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for perl-test-more-git [2]: Broken, unused VCS package from 2017. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/perl-test-more-git/
Turns out that this package is actually a hostile fork of Perl Test-Simple. [a] It conflicts with the repo package [b], without declaring such. The project readme calls this "Test2 framework", but internally it uses Test-Simple's pod names. But it is not API-comlatible with the latter. Best to delete this package for such a bogus source. [a]: https://metacpan.org/dist/Test-Simple [b]: https://archlinux.org/packages/?q=perl-test-simple On 2 October 2023 01:52:00 GMT+02:00, notify@aur.archlinux.org wrote:

Scratch that, this is actually using Perl Test::Simple's source repo, which confusingly calls itself test-more. Still, this AUR package is named wrongly and has its provides and conflicts wrong, so it clashes with repo's perl-test-simple. Also it is defunct since 2022-03 because of using unsupported URL protocol for GitHub. On 5 October 2023 02:10:19 GMT+02:00, Marcell Meszaros <marcell.meszaros@runbox.eu> wrote:
