[PRQ#45059] Deletion Request for ros-build-tools-py3
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Oct '23

02 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ros-build-tools-py3 [2]: Orphan package from 2020; upstream discontinued since same year. [a] The successor utility is ros-build-tools, available on AUR. All maintained ROS packages already depend on the latter. The currently supported ROS Noetic release only supports Python3; this older build tool was only used when there were both Python2 and Python3 packages in the earlier, now EOL releases.

[PRQ#45051] Deletion Request for python-plac-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Oct '23

02 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-plac-git [2]: Abandoned orphan VCS package from 2017. As there is no visible interest in this, I recommend deletion. AUR has a maintained stable package for the latest release version. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-plac-git/

[PRQ#45049] Deletion Request for python-umsgpack
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Oct '23

02 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-umsgpack [2]: Deprecated Python library from 2015. The AUR package never worked. But it is not actually needed by its two dependents. Safe to delete this broken package. I've left a comment on python- rpcudp page, and submitted the orphan and broken python-meshcat-git for deletion (PRQ#45048).

[PRQ#45046] Deletion Request for pybitmessage
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Oct '23

02 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for pybitmessage [2]: Broken Python2 application, reported as such since Nov 2022. There seems to be no fix available, and also the former maintainer of pybitmessage-git was unable to resolve the problems. Upstream seems to be releasing experimental Python3 based AppImages, but not source code (at least I was not able to find such via a quick search). Better to delete this defunct package.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Oct '23

02 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for pybitmessage-git [2]: Orphan, broken Python2 VCS package from 2019. Upstream does not fully support Python3, but the Python2 code is also not workable anymore. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/pybitmessage-git/

[PRQ#45044] Deletion Request for nodejs-normit-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Oct '23

02 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for nodejs-normit-git [2]: Development in public GitHub repo discontinued since May 2017. [a] The latest released version was published in 2017 after the last public commit, therefore it is not available in GitHub repo, only on npmjs. [b] Consequently, there is no point in keeping this VCS package. Supposing it still works, the newer version can be easily installed with npm.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Oct '23

02 Oct '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for buck-git [2]: Orphan, unneeded Python2 + Java VCS package from 2020. Upstream repo readme says: "Use Buck2 - This repo is dead. Please see https://github.com/facebook/buck2 for the build system that replaces it." [a] There's still a stable package for this on AUR, carrying the last release version.

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mssql-cli [2]: Orphan package, deprecated and replaced by upstream with the following new package: https://github.com/microsoft/go-sqlcmd There's an AUR package for that: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/go-sqlcmd The new sqlcmd is at v1.2.1, and is considered stable and mature by Microsoft. Safe to delete this unneeded legacy package. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/mssql-cli/
