[aur-requests] [PRQ#21867] Deletion Request for v8-static-gyp
relrel [1] filed a deletion request for v8-static-gyp [2]: This package should be superseded by v8. Also, no packages depend on it so it's safe to delete. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/relrel/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/v8-static-gyp/
Request #21867 has been rejected by freswa [1]: There are plenty of v8 builds available. I don't see why these two should be deleted. Could you please elaborate on that? [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/freswa/
Indeed there are many v8 packages in the AUR, but this situation brings:
1. Unnecessary duplication.
2. Confusion among users who cannot decide which package to install or
depend on.
Therefore, these packages should be unified into a single,
one-size-fits-all package (I plan it to be v8 once my orphan package is
accepted).
In order to accomplish that, we need to migrate all existing packages which
depend on one of those variants of v8 to depend on v8 itself.
In the meantime, I noticed that both v8-static-gyp and v8-static-gyp-5.4
are not required by any other package, so in my opinion it would be great
to delete them as soon as possible before anyone introduces a dependency on
one of them.
I would like to hear your thoughts.
