[PRQ#46223] Deletion Request for python-pytest-astropy-meta
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Dec '23

05 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-pytest-astropy-meta [2]: Empty, unneeded package from 2019; blanked version of python-pytest-astropy. [a] Though pytest-astropy defines itself as a meta-package [b], nevertheless its content is not nil, because it has dependency metadata definitions. AUR/python-pytest-astropy carries the latest version. [a]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-pytest-astropy [b]: https://pypi.org/project/pytest-astropy/ [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-pytest-astropy-meta/

[PRQ#46205] Deletion Request for gr-limesdr
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Dec '23

05 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gr-limesdr [2]: Orphan package from 2019, for gnuradio 3.7. Last release was in 2020, for gnuradio 3.8 (EOL since 2022-01). But there's a gr-3.10 branch, and the AUR/gr-limesdr-git package uses that one. Seeing the release cadence of the project, it only makes sense to keep the VCS package. This is true for almost all GR modules, and that is the typical strategy for those on AUR. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/gr-limesdr/

[PRQ#47935] Deletion Request for python-jsonschema4.17
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 04 Dec '23

04 Dec '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-jsonschema4.17 [2]: This legacy jsonschema module is not needed by any package. The current jsonschema 4.19.1, available in [extra] repo, *is backward-compatible* with 4.17, but with deprecation warnings for API elements that will be removed in the future. If there is a issue experienced while using jsonschema 4.19.1, please file a bug report. Upstream explicitly asks users to do so in case they run into a regression with respect to legacy compatibility. Please don't create legacy packages that conflict with the current latest version from repo. These are not drop-in replacements, and should not be uploaded with such intention to the AUR.
