Very old version software
[1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/dpvpro/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/puppet-bolt-git/ The version is actually very new.
Latest upstream commit as of now is from 20 November 2024. [a] The problem lies elsewhere. The PKGBUILD cannot be built as is, due to lacking the needed makedepends=rubygems. And it violates Arch packaging etiquette by executing gem install net-ssh-krb which, if the user happens to have rubygems installed, can result in a Ruby module getting installed system-wide. It is also missing its required runtime depends, the mandatory provides entry, and does not execute testing despite the Arch Ruby package guidelines calling for it. All in all, these together can be reason enough for deletion, along with the following evidence of complete disuse of this broken package: Votes: 1 Popularity: 0.000000 Comments: 0 Specific reverse dependencies: 0 First Submitted: 2020-02-08 08:12 (CET) Last Updated: 2020-02-08 08:12 (CET) [a]: https://github.com/puppetlabs/bolt
Request #66341 has been Accepted by bertptrs [1]: Normally this wouldn't be a valid request, as this is a VCS package which is fundamentally self-updating. However, the package is also broken due to a missing dependency, and hasn't moved in two years, we can delete it now. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/bertptrs/
