[PRQ#46108] Deletion Request for python-dockerpty-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Nov '23

21 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-dockerpty-git [2]: It seems there is no use to keep this VCS package: it builds exactly the same code version from 2016 as repo's python-dockerpty. Development completely halted since then [a]; even issues and PR's are ignored. [b] It is not compatible with Docker 2.4.2 and 3+. [b] Its chief consumer used to be docker-composer, but that has been completely rewritten in Go, so it no longer uses any Python modules. Repo's stable package should be sufficient for the one or two legacy builds that might still rely on this. [a]: https://github.com/d11wtq/dockerpty/commits/master [b]: https://github.com/d11wtq/dockerpty/issues [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-dockerpty-git/

[PRQ#51594] Deletion Request for linux-bin
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 21 Nov '23

21 Nov '23

a821 [1] filed a deletion request for linux-bin [2]: This is an ARM only package, which is not allowed per the submission guidelines. Official binary releases for linux are not a thing, so the package name is misleading. Finally, the PKGBUILD is terrible; it uses curl all over the place to retrieve the `pkgver` and the `checksums`. IMO, all this is unnecessary and makes the PKGBUILD hard to understand. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/a821/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/linux-bin/

[PRQ#49707] Orphan Request for nestopia
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 20 Nov '23

20 Nov '23

xiota [1] filed an orphan request for nestopia [2]: Package does not build in clean chroot because of missing makedepend. Maintainer was notified over four months ago (Jun 2023) and did not respond. Package was also flagged, but maintainer unflagged without fixing the package. Since maintainer appears to be unwilling to update, this pacakge should be orphaned so someone else can do so.
