[aur-requests] [PRQ#36400] Deletion Request for style50
MayorBender [1] filed a deletion request for style50 [2]: This package should be deleted for two reasons. The first is that it's already easily install-able through the Package Installer for Python (pip) here: https://pypi.org/project/style50/ This package was not originally hosted in pip when this pkgbuild was first submitted. The second is that its dependencies conflict with what's provided by Arch repos. For example, it depends on lib50, which depends on attrs version
=18.1,<21. This conflicts with the upstream version of attrs, which is 21.4.0 and is the one the Arch repos provide. Meaning the user would have to install lib50 with pip anyways. At that point, the user should install this package with pip rather than through the AUR.
Note: I maintain all AUR packages related to CS50. I tried to find a reasonable way to keep this package up to date in the AUR but considering the dependency conflicts, it no longer makes sense to keep it in the AUR. I will continue to maintain packages related to CS50 that make sense to maintain, such as the libcs50 & libcs50-git packages since they are not easily install-able elsewhere nor do they have annoying dependency conflicts.
