[aur-requests] [PRQ#35066] Deletion Request for euca2ools
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Jun '22

23 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for euca2ools [2]: Orphaned package. This was a suite of Python 2 based CLI tools for Amazon Web Services, such as EC2 and IAM. The project has been discontinued in 2017, their website deleted. AUR package cannot be built due to missing Python 2 dependencies. But I doubt that this package would be useful even if it worked. 5 years is enormously long in the fast-developing cloudosphere. :D In this time public API's change a lot and also bugs surface that need to be addressed. There are quite a lot of other CLI tools to communicate with AWS services so this dead one is not really needed. Safe to delete; nothing depends on it.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35067] Deletion Request for fileteasend-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Jun '22

23 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for fileteasend-git [2]: Orphaned VCS package, last updated in 2015. Project has been abandoned since 2017. This was a centralized-decentralized hybrid file sending client - it needed the https://filetea.me/ website but also the clients were peer-to-peer. There still is an AUR/fileteasend package which hosts the latest version from 2017. That one is at least based on Python 3, whereas this -git package is still on Python 2 so it cannot even be packaged due to already dropped Python 2 modules. Safe to delete this dead VCS package, not needed anymore. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/fileteasend-git/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35085] Deletion Request for python-feather
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Jun '22

23 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-feather [2]: It seems not needed anymore now. 4 Feb 2021: "Feather development lives on in Apache Arrow." https://github.com/wesm/feather#feather-development-is-in-apache- arrow-now That means [community] python-pyarrow now contains the feather module. There is no more separate python-feather on PyPI either. Safe to delete. Nothing depends on this package.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35146] Deletion Request for ruby-thin-1.5
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Jun '22

23 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ruby-thin-1.5 [2]: Package is unmaintained and is not needed anymore. I have created the AUR/ruby-thin-1.6 package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ruby-thin-1.6 That can satisfy the only one AUR package that needs a legacy ruby-thin, and the 1.6 version is perfectly fine for that package.

Your > package is named wrong. I welcome your input, and I regret your refusal to work together with the maintainers on this. It is a rather hard statement to say something is wrong. There are good reasons for the name it is today, I have not seen any arguments why the current name is "wrong". The upstream release is called simply 'lbry', the installed executable is too. And this name is in the package. What is wrong with that? Could something be a better choice? Possibly. But do we really want to lose all the current 'customers' with that? No, that doesn't seem to be a good balance. The name has been in use for 5 years, afterall. But you are free to make your argument in the proper forum. Which is not a private email initiated by the people who's package you want to rename.

Yesterday you requested the deletion of the package you don't own. https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-requests/2022-June/073313.html If you meant to ask for deletion of the lbry-desktop-bin one (which you own), you may want to re-try that request.
