[PRQ#46098] Deletion Request for perl-wx-constructors
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 17 Nov '23

17 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for perl-wx-constructors [2]: Seems to be an unused Perl module. Last released in 2007, nothing depends on it, and relies on the very old and hard-to-maintain, currently broken wxgkt2.8. I think it's better to delete this package.

[PRQ#46096] Deletion Request for perl-javascript-v8
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 17 Nov '23

17 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for perl-javascript-v8 [2]: Orphan Perl module from 2016, flagged OOD since 2019. While it's true that there's an update on CPAN, it seems there is no interest in this on AUR: 0 comments or votes, and nothing depends on this. I recommend deletion. Can be easily installed directly from CPAN via cpanm (cpanminus) tool. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/perl-javascript-v8/

[PRQ#46094] Deletion Request for python-packaging-21
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 17 Nov '23

17 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-packaging-21 [2]: Unused old version, orphaned package. It was needed by the legacy python-dephell-specifier AUR package until 2023-06-28, at which point it got updated with an upstream fix to make it compatible with the newer version of python-packaging, available in repo.

[PRQ#46092] Deletion Request for python-unicodeblocks
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 17 Nov '23

17 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-unicodeblocks [2]: Unneeded, discontinued module from 2014. [a] It was used for the similarly discontinued python-ucnum, a reimplementation of the currently actively developed Perl-based unum. Broken package: missing setuptools makedepend, just like python-ucnum. I've submitted the latter as well for deletion (PRQ#46090). [a]: https://pypi.org/project/unicodeblocks/ [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-unicodeblocks/

[PRQ#46090] Deletion Request for python-ucnum
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 17 Nov '23

17 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-ucnum [2]: Unmaintained package from 2015 for a tool last released in 2014 [a] and not developed since 2015. [b] Package name is not as it should be: 'python-' prefix unneeded due to this being a CLI application. Build fails: missing setuptools makedepend. Owner did not respond to packaging request made 2+ years ago. I recommend deletion, since this is just a reimplementation of the Perl-based 'unum', which has been continued to be developed (last released in 2022-09) and is available from AUR. [c] Nothing depends on this one. [a]: https://pypi.org/project/ucnum/ [b]: https://github.com/flying-sheep/ucnum [c]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/unum [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-ucnum/

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 17 Nov '23

17 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-typecheck-decorator [2]: Python 3.3-3.5 typecheck addon; last released in 2016. [a] Build fails due to undeclared setuptools makedepend. I recommend deletion, seems not useful to keep, and nothing depends on it.
