[aur-requests] [PRQ#35332] Deletion Request for hyde-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 20 Jun '22

20 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for hyde-git [2]: This was only ever labelled as a 'beta' on PyPI; discontinued in 2016. It was a Python 2 based Django static site generator (template filler). Package is seriously broken because of all the missing dependencies. Nothing depends on it, I think it's better to delete. Not even Django itself is available anymore for Python 2 here.

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-hyde [2]: This was a 'beta' quality Django static site generator (template filler) and was discontinued in 2016. Package is seriously broken because of all the missing dependencies. This only supported Python 2. Nothing depends on it, I think it's better be deleted. Not even Django itself is available anymore for Python 2 here. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python2-hyde/

20 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for wp-download-git [2]: Long-orphaned Python 2 based VCS package; project defunct and discontinued after 2016. Package doesn't work anymore, but not needed. There are working alternatives to save web content. Safe to delete; nothing depends on it. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/wp-download-git/

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 20 Jun '22

20 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mutagen-git [2]: Deprecated VCS package, it was deleted, seems it has been pushed back by accident. Not needed, the proper package is this: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-mutagen-git [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/mutagen-git/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35326] Deletion Request for sat-xmpp
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 20 Jun '22

20 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for sat-xmpp [2]: Broken, orphaned Python 2 based desktop XMPP/Jabber chat client. Discontinued years ago, its website now only offers its successor application called Libervia. This package has last been updated in 2017 and it is now broken quite beyond repair. Not just because of the dozens of deleted Python 2 dependencies, but also because among them, some are needed for secure communications. These typically interface with binary libraries like SSL or SSH. Several of those deprecated Python 2 bindings are now uncompilable and/or unusable with current system libraries. Safe to delete as nothing depends on it (this was an end-user app). [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/sat-xmpp/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35324] Deletion Request for python2-geventhttpclient
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 20 Jun '22

20 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-geventhttpclient [2]: I think this legacy Python 2 module can be deleted. Currently on v1.3.1 from 2016. There were some newer updates for Python 2, but SSL support seems to have remained broken for a long time, and I guess downstream projects were forced to migrate to Python 3. Arch has dropped Mozilla's python2-certifi in 2019; Mozilla discontinued Python 2 support for its certificates package in 2020. Therefore it seems this could no longer be used securely. And anyway, it is broken because of the missing dependencies and I think at this point in time it is not worth any further effort. Safe to delete as nothing on AUR depends on it.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35323] Deletion Request for python2-pyvo
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 20 Jun '22

20 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-pyvo [2]: I suggest to delete this. Does not support Python 2 since Sep 2019; it is seriously broken on Arch/AUR, because of the missing python2-astropy (astronomy package) and because the required python2-h5py binary / C API binding to the hdf5 scientific data format library also does not support Python 2 since 2019 and cannot compile its bridge libraries against the current hdf5. Safe to delete as nothing depends on it. Users are advised to use Python 3 version (available on AUR) or try to install with matching dependencies from PyPI or Anaconda distribution.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35322] Deletion Request for python2-pyramid
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 20 Jun '22

20 Jun '22

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-pyramid [2]: Broken, unmaintained Python 2 package, last updated in 2018. Fails to build not only because of missing Python 2 dependencies, but because it misdeclares some 'python-' dependencies, i.e. Python 3 based ones. Nothing depends on it on AUR. There is a Python 3 based 'python-pyramid' package here which is current and it works. So no need for the broken, legacy Python 2 variant package anymore. Nothing depends on it - safe to delete.
