[PRQ#51259] Orphan Request for yuzu-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 14 Nov '23

14 Nov '23

xiota [1] filed an orphan request for yuzu-git [2]: The package yuzu-git has a history of building from https://github.com/yuzu-emu/yuzu This is distinct from yuzu-mainline-git, which builds from https://github.com/yuzu-emu/yuzu-mainline The new maintainer has intentionally turned yuzu-git into a duplicate of yuzu-mainline-git, and is resistant to reverting the change. If the maintainer is unwilling to properly fix this package, it should again be orphaned so someone else may do so. The maintainer should have at most two weeks to make the correction, as indicated in AUR submission guidelines. This package has already been broken for over five months, and users have been waiting long enough for a responsible maintainer to fix it.

[PRQ#47778] Deletion Request for python-argparse
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 14 Nov '23

14 Nov '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-argparse [2]: This legacy module should not have been uploaded to AUR. It is very old and discontinued as a separate module. Instead, the maintained code is part of Python stdlib. If this module is installed, it will break many Python packages. AUR has a compatibility shim package, python-argparse-shim, that virtually provides 'python-argparse' for those Python packages whose setup metadata explicitly defines a requirement for the separate argparse module. (And that package is also just a temporary drop-in compatibility solution that is only needed until the dependent packages' maintainers implement a simple patch to eliminate the deprecated requirement.)

MarsSeed [1] filed an orphan request for bcnc-git [2]: Owner MIA since 2021. PKGBUILD last updated in 2018 and uses Python2. Upstream requires Python3 now, so this package is unbuildable.
