[PRQ#42808] Deletion Request for python-mypy_protobuf-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-mypy_protobuf-git [2]: Unmaintained VCS package from 2020, with a not quite proper name (should have been with dash instead of underscore). Declared dependencies are now outdated and therefore wrong. Nothing relies on this package. So it seems unneeded and safe to delete. AUR has the stable package for it: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-mypy-protobuf [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-mypy_protobuf-git/

[PRQ#42807] Deletion Request for ternimal-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ternimal-git [2]: No need for this VCS package. Upstream development halted since 2017. [a] AUR has the latest stable, which is only 2 small nonessential commits older than master branch.

[PRQ#42803] Merge Request for python-theano
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge python-theano [2] into python- theano-pymc [3]: Theano project has been discontinued. The PyMC project forked the code and they made an updated drop-in replacement, available on AUR as well. Better to merge the old theano package to the pymc fork. (The latter is also discontinued btw, in favor of their successor fork called Aesara. But in the meantime, better to keep the theano-pymc fork on AUR for downstream dependent packages.)

[PRQ#42797] Deletion Request for wine64-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for wine64-git [2]: Orphaned VCS package. Does not declare the necessary provides (wine). Therefore it cannot be installed together with other packages that depend on wine. It also does not use the new, pure-64-bit runtime wow64 mode that allows wine 8.x to be built with support for running 32-bit Windows applications without 32-bit Linux libraries. Putting up git PKGBUILD is easy if someone wants to resume having a 64-bit VCS build. But it should be based on the properly maintained and configured new AUR/wine-wow64 package.

[PRQ#42792] Deletion Request for python-wdb.server
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-wdb.server [2]: Orphan package, for a Python application/daemon not developed since 2019. [a] But it should not be needed, as there is a new drop-in replacement for the same, based on the much more performant aiohttp [b]. Delivered by an alive project whose developer is responsive to issues and pull requests. [c] The AUR package was only actively maintained until 2016. Then in 2022, after I flagged it for broken Py2 subpackage, @carlosal1015 volunteered to remove the python2 parts from it, but then disowned it since he himself did not need this package. There are no comments other than my recent one about the new drop-in replacement server daemon. [a]: https://github.com/Kozea/wdb [b]: https://pypi.org/project/wdb.server.aiohttp/ [c]: https://github.com/shepilov-vladislav/wdb_server_aiohttp [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-wdb.server/

[PRQ#42791] Deletion Request for spnego-http-auth-nginx-module-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for spnego-http-auth-nginx- module-git [2]: Abandoned VCS package from 2020, with a name that does not conform to the pattern of nginx module names established on Arch. Also it builds against a fixed version of nginx 1.18 source file, so this module is unlikely to work with its declared dependency nginx, which is at 1.24.x in repo. 0 votes/comments, no dependents. Best to delete. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/spnego-http-auth-nginx-module-git/

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for nginx-mainline-mod- auth_spnego [2]: Flagged since 2021; this package was last updated in 2020. 0 votes/comments. Seems not needed by users on AUR.

[PRQ#42789] Deletion Request for libretro-dosbox-svn
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for libretro-dosbox-svn [2]: Abandoned package from 2021. Wrong name: it is a git package for a GitHub repo named dosbox-svn. But it is not necessary to keep this package; there are other libretro-dosbox packages on AUR with proper names.

[PRQ#42787] Deletion Request for glib2-nodocs-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for glib2-nodocs-git [2]: Abandoned variant VCS package from 2021. Owner MIA since 2 years. pkgver() is not monotonic. No need to keep this: there's a maintained glib2-git package with proper versioning. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/glib2-nodocs-git/
