[PRQ#47561] Deletion Request for python-pillow-simd
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 10 Feb '24

10 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-pillow-simd [2]: This is an old duplicate of python-pillow, at version 9.2.0, whereas repo's pillow is on 10.0.1 atm. The fork project's README.md clearly states about their versioning scheme [a]: " Pillow-SIMD is »following« Pillow which means it is drop-in replacements for Pillow of the same version. For example, Pillow-SIMD 3.2.0.post3 is a drop-in replacement for Pillow 3.2.0, and Pillow-SIMD 3.3.3.post0 — for Pillow 3.3.3. " So as this AUR package is on 9.2.0 rather than 9.2.0.post[number], it is using a copy of upstream Pillow's 9.2.0 source. As one digs a little deeper, it becomes obvious that the fork project no longer produces their patched versions of upstream's latest releases. [b] In fact, the last pillow-simd release was: v9.0.0.post1 (Jan 4, 2022) (seen on the second page of the git tags list [c]). (Also on PyPI [d].) The fact that the fork project has newer (vanilla, upstream) tags and commits on GitHub than its Jan 2022 patched release is misleading. It just means they mechanically pulled in ("copied") commits and tags from the upstream pillow codebase, without maintaining their own fork. As of now the fork repo's imported codebase is also out-of-sync with upstream pillow: last pillow-simd imported tag is 9.5.0 (Apr 1, 2023), as opposed to python-pillow's 10.0.1 (Sep 15, 2023). In light of all the above facts, I posit that it is no longer useful to keep this fork package. Summary of the reasons: - old duplicate of python-pillow, - if reverted to pillow-simd 9.0.0.post1 (Jan 4, 2022), it would be even older, - not feature and API equivalent to pillow 10+, - so it potentially breaks packages that rely on pillow 10's changed or new API elements, - all in all this can no longer be a drop-in replacement of python- pilllow, - fork is essentially unmaintained since Jan 2022.

[PRQ#47499] Deletion Request for python-pychromecast6
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 10 Feb '24

10 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-pychromecast6 [2]: Unneeded legacy package, and it conflicts with python-pychromecast, breaking many other packages. AUR/pulseaudio-dlna needs an update to support the newer chromecast module (notified the maintainer).

[PRQ#47449] Deletion Request for gettext-hostname
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 10 Feb '24

10 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gettext-hostname [2]: This doesn't provide core/inetutils as it claims, but it's true that it conflicts with that. Any application that depends on any part of inetutils other than /usr/bin/hostname will fail to work. I don't think it's useful to keep this ill-conceived package.

[PRQ#47423] Deletion Request for uctags-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 10 Feb '24

10 Feb '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for uctags-git [2]: Unneeded duplicate of AUR/ctags-git, with misleading name and missing the declaration of some dependencies. Its pkgdesc remark that says it is "patched to allow installing alongside original ctag" is not true at all. Not just because it declares it conflicts with ctags, but also because the executable files get installed under the same name in /usr/bin as done by extra/ctags and AUR/ctags-git. Also there isn't any patch included in the PKGBUILD. Upstream's application and repo name is ctags, not uctags.
