[PRQ#42599] Deletion Request for python-gscholar
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Jul '23

23 Jul '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-gscholar [2]: This new package should be deleted and resubmitted under a rule- conforming name, as it is a CLI app: gscholar Arch wiki's Python package guidelines are quite clear: [a] > Package naming > > For Python 3 library modules, use python-modulename. Also use the prefix if the package provides a program that is strongly coupled to the Python ecosystem (e.g. pip or tox). For other applications, use only the program name.

[PRQ#42586] Deletion Request for python-setuptools-scm-git-archive
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Jul '23

23 Jul '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-setuptools-scm-git- archive [2]: "This plugin is obsolete. ``setuptools_scm >= 7.0.0`` supports Git archives by itself." [a] As per my checking, only one maintained package has this declared in their 'requires' (python-vispy), but that can and should be easily patched to be removed. This was already confirmed by upstream issue ticket. I've notified the maintainer. This legacy package was recreated for python-vispy instead of removing it from its requires definition. I've also left comments or flags on the few other, abandoned AUR consumer packages' pages. But those are seemingly leftovers and not used by anyone. (However, none of those packages' 'requires' list include setuptools_scm_git_archive, so only the PKGBUILDs need to drop it in these packages.) This package was rightly dropped from Arch repos. python-vispy packaging needs to fix the issue instead of having this package on AUR. And this deprecated package is better to be deleted.
