[aur-requests] [PRQ#35505] Deletion Request for gnome-common-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Jun '22

27 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gnome-common-git [2]: I suggest deletion. Last released 6 years ago, then 2 commits dropped 3 years ago to change some bugzilla link in two doap files. Arch [extra] still carries the last gnome-common from 2016. There are zero issues or merge requests in the Gitlab so it seems no development is happening.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35503] Deletion Request for python2-sphinx_rtd_theme
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Jun '22

27 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-sphinx_rtd_theme [2]: Hi, I suggest to delete this. python2-sphix is broken heavily. And this package is only used for creating documentation for 4 AUR packages. 2 (or 3) of which are pending deletion. And the remaining one's maintainer can just disable the Python 2 based documentation build if the need the package to be buildable.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35502] Deletion Request for python2-sphinx-gallery
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Jun '22

27 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-sphinx-gallery [2]: This can be deleted as well, since it was only needed for the defunct Python 2 based documentation builds of python2-astropy-doc and python2-sncosmo-doc, and itself is unbuildable because of the non- working python2-sphinx package.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35500] Deletion Request for python2-sherpa
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Jun '22

27 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-sherpa [2]: I suggest to drop this legacy Python 2 package as well, for the same reason I submitted for all scientific and astronomy packages for which the Python 2 ecosystem is essentially defunct and dead now.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35501] Deletion Request for python2-docs-devhelp
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Jun '22

27 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-docs-devhelp [2]: I suggest to delete this GNOME DevHelp documentation for Python 2, because python2-sphinx is defunct so this cannot be packaged. Also no one should develop in Python 2 for GNOME as it is unsupported. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python2-docs-devhelp/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35498] Deletion Request for python2-stscitools
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Jun '22

27 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-stscitools [2]: I suggest to delete this deprecated Python 2 package from 2017. It has no consumers on AUR. Since 2019, a huge number of astronomy and cosmology projects moved exclusively to Python 3, and now the Python 2 modules are incompatible with the foundational binary libraries like HDF5. Therefore the Python 2 ecosystem for these packages are virtually nonexistent now. It is beneficial to eliminate the unused packages from here, to help volunteers focus their efforts on where it is actually making a difference.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35499] Deletion Request for python2-stsci.distutils
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Jun '22

27 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-stsci.distutils [2]: This Space Telescope related Python 2 distutils extension is essentially dead (missing a dependency). I suggest deletion; only Python 3 works now for astronomy packages. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python2-stsci.distutils/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35496] Deletion Request for python-pyfits
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Jun '22

27 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-pyfits [2]: Deprecated in 2017 with the description: "Please use astropy.io.fits instead" [a] I suggest deletion; its only optional consumer is a -git package and that also does not need it anymore (notified the maintainer about this). [a] https://pypi.org/project/pyfits/ [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-pyfits/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35492] Deletion Request for python2-astropy-healpix
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 27 Jun '22

27 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-astropy-healpix [2]: Suggest to delete this, as all AstroPy-related packages moved to Python 3 after 2019 and dont's work in Python 2 because of the incompatible binary bindings. Only the defunct python2-gammapy and python2-reproject use this on AUR, and I've submitted a deletion request for them already based on the same rationale.
