[aur-requests] [PRQ#35606] Deletion Request for geeknote-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Jul '22

02 Jul '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for geeknote-git [2]: Abandoned Python2 based VCS package, last updated in 2018. Code has not been developed since 2015; developer added a note to the GitHub README in 2020 stating this fact. Therefore a VCS package is not needed; also package has been broken since 2020 because of missing Python 2 dependencies. Safe to delete. Nothing depends on it.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35605] Deletion Request for cpyrit-cuda
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Jul '22

02 Jul '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for cpyrit-cuda [2]: Orphaned package. Pyrit was last released in 2015 and is still using Python 2. In 2019, the developer added a comment to the GitHub repo's README, saying they are working on a rewrite for Python 3, 'stay tuned'. But zero of that effort can be seen; there hasn't been any commits to that effect. (In fact, that added README note was the last commit, in 2019.) Meanwhile, this package is now broken because of deleted and broken Python 2 modules. I am not knowledgeable in the field of cracking hashes and passphrases, but I have a feeling that there are other, up-to-date tools that can leverage today's improved CPU, GPU and specialized hardware landscape for such infosec purposes. Safe to delete this defunct package, nothing depends on it. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/cpyrit-cuda/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35599] Deletion Request for urssus
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Jul '22

02 Jul '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for urssus [2]: Orphaned Python 2 application. Last update on PyPI was in 2009. 'PyQt-based RSS news aggregator'. Such is not needed in the form of a deprecated app, because there are several good and up-to-date alternatives. This one is based on the EOL Qt4. I suggest it's better to delete. Also seems unneeded: nothing depends on it, and last user comments are from 2013. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/urssus/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35580] Deletion Request for python2-graphcanvas
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Jul '22

02 Jul '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-graphcanvas [2]: Legacy Python 2 module, last updated in 2015. Newer version only supports Python 3.6 (might work with 3.10). This package is broken because of missing dependencies. But it is not needed by anything on AUR. So better to delete.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35525] Deletion Request for python2-pytype
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Jul '22

02 Jul '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-pytype [2]: This package doesn't work but it's not needed anymore. (Last updated in 2018.) Google has dropped the module's Python 2 support in 2020. Nothing in AUR require this version (both two virtual dependents need the Python 3 package). [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python2-pytype/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35512] Deletion Request for python2-paste-deploy
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Jul '22

02 Jul '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-paste-deploy [2]: Only the Python 2 based Loggerhead package used this. That was the "web interface for Bazaar reposotories", and was discontinued in 2011. Now it's already gone from AUR, so functionally nothing uses this anymore. It is available for Python 3 if someone needs to use the capabilities it can provide. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python2-paste-deploy/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35509] Deletion Request for python2-guidata
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Jul '22

02 Jul '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-guidata [2]: Also a very old package extending python2-pyqt. Last updated in 2016. Formerly it supported both Qt4 and Qt5, but now the newer Qt5 Python2 module is already gone. Its last dependent on AUR was python2-guiqwt. [a] That was deleted recently after I prompted the maintainer that there is a newer version of that, but only for Python 3. Therefore this package is without any consumer now. As there is Python 3 support for the same purpose, I'd say it's safe to delete this unneeded and not really functional Python 2 based package.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35406] Orphan Request for clfft
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Jul '22

02 Jul '22

acxz [1] filed an orphan request for clfft [2]: This package does not build correctly, but upstream does. While they have not released a new version, it would be worth to apply the patch to this PKGBUILD, which I am willing to do after this package is orphaned.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Jul '22

02 Jul '22

abody [1] filed an orphan request for klipper-py3-git [2]: The package cannot be built without --nocheck for months, the maintainer does not seem to respond to requests to fix it. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/abody/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/klipper-py3-git/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#36189] Orphan Request for docx2tex
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 02 Jul '22

02 Jul '22

MarsSeed [1] filed an orphan request for docx2tex [2]: Current owner @joaquinito2051 does not maintain packages. He just adopts them and keeps them out-of-date indefinitely. Flagged out-of-date (2021-08-01). [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/docx2tex/
