Re: [PRQ#44432] Deletion Request for python-chaospy

by Marcell Meszaros

This package is also unusable, because one of its dependencies, python-numpoly is broken. That build is unmaintained/abandoned since 2022-07, and has been broken even before that time. (That might have been the reason its former maintainer disowned it, because the fix proved to be elusive).

[PRQ#50342] Deletion Request for visit-bin

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for visit-bin [2]: Broken, unused foreign binary from 2020. OOD flag ignored since that year. Last comment is also from same year. Upstream is continually developed, so abandoning it on AUR doesn't seem to be because of obsolescence, rather, just lack of interest here. Actually upstream publishes an easy-to-use, well-documented installation script to download and install the latest version (or any release version) in a user's directory. So people who want to use this application better stick to that way of acquiring it instead of trying to rely on AUR, which is no longer a viable source for them. The application does not need to be installed in system dirs to work. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/visit-bin/

Re: [PRQ#46530] Deletion Request for python2-astroid

by Marcell Meszaros

And the current pkgdesc of AUR/python2-astroid is bogus. It says: "Useful miscellaneous modules used by Logilab projects" But it is not true for this package. It has nothing to do with Logilab. It is an Abstract Syntax Tree generator for Python code, which is an easy to analyze representation of that code. That's how the source quality evaluation tool python(2)-pylint was able to do its job.

Re: [PRQ#52296] Deletion Request for icu74

by Marcell Meszaros

I think it is fine for package owner to submit their request. Maintainers' own requests show up as filter for PM's, and these get priority treatment. Otherwise there's a 4+ month long queue as of now to get the request processed. Also, typically there are additional PM's who get involved in addressing maintainers' requests. I guess it's a more straightforward type of submission and therefore it's a bit less mentally burdensome, so it's easier for them to take up even when they are busy with other matters.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#7756] Deletion Request for arachni

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org

GI_Jack [1] filed a deletion request for arachni [2]: NUKE FROM ORBIT I don't have time to fix this shit. 1. Its a git build without the -git packagename 2. It bundles and installs ruby as root, into the root filesystem. 3. If this wasn't bad enough, this flaming pile of dogshit put the bundle install instruction in the post install instructions so none of the files are trackable by pacman/libpm. Cleaning up this giant clusterfuck is going to be hard, and require manual intervention. 4. If that wasn't bad enough, those files interfere with the same software packaged correctly, causing other pieces of software to fail. I moved this from AUR3, then forgot about it. I would like to apologize to the arch community at this time. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/GI_Jack/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/arachni/

[aur-requests] [PRQ#32280] Deletion Request for inkscape-appimage

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org

yochananmarqos [1] filed a deletion request for inkscape-appimage [2]: inkscape is in the extra repo, this is a pointless duplicate package. "The submitted PKGBUILDs must not build applications already in any of the official binary repositories under any circumstances. Check the official package database for the package. If any version of it exists, do not submit the package. If the official package is out-of- date, flag it as such. If the official package is broken or is lacking a feature, then please file a bug report." https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_submission_guidelines#Rules_of_submiss… Also, AppImages are not meant to be installed to the system. They should be unpacked and files installed in proper directories. Every AUR package with the -appimage suffix that installl AppImages to /usr/bin/ should be removed in my opinion.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#35953] Deletion Request for cloog-isl15

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for cloog-isl15 [2]: This legacy version from 6+ years ago seems not needed anymore. It certainly is not depended upon by any AUR packages. So in order to ease maintenance burden, I recommend to delete this if there are no objections. There are no user votes or comments that would indicate that anyone would protest. (Also, the main isl package has been adopted from AUR to Arch [core] under the name 'libisl'. As AUR in principle has to align with Arch repos, any isl* packages here should in theory be renamed to libisl*, and their dependents would need to change their depends arrays as well. But it is easier to remove the truly unused legacy packages instead of pushing for effecting the former cross-maintainer changes.)
