The [community] package is python-semantic-version. It was moved from the AUR, and the AUR version was deleted at the time: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/log/PKGBUILD?h=python-semantic-versi… This package was first uploaded half a year after the package with a "-" instead of a "_" was first uploaded, however, the original version (not yours) was simply migrated from AUR 3 to AUR 4 ("Initial import" four days after the great migration began) so I'm not sure how long it existed before that. So your package was just a duplicate since its inception. Sorry. :( > Is that AUR removal process automatic or manual?

It is manual, but you can see the list of duplicates using something like this: $ declare -f aurdupes aurdupes () { comm -12 <(pacman -Sql core extra community multilib| sort) <(curl -s https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.gz | gzip -d | sed 1d | sort ) } Since the package names are different, they don't even register as duplicates and you should be able to push to it just fine (which you *cannot* do for a package in community, as it would be added to the "this is in community" blacklist) -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User

Re: [PRQ#43605] Deletion Request for advanced-rest-client-appimage

It turns out that AUR/advanced-rest-client [a] is a binary package made from DEB release, so that should be renamed to have a -bin suffix, and this package is a duplicate of that, just based on AppImage.

[aur-requests] [PRQ#596] Deletion Request for drupal-l10n-af

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org

jamesan [1] filed a deletion request for drupal-l10n-af [2]: I uploaded a series of AUR packages corresponding to various Drupal core localisation .po files. I've managed to collapse all these into a single drupal-l10n split package, but AUR returns an error when I try to upload this split package: "You are not allowed to overwrite the drupal-l10n-af package." even though I'm maintainer for drupal-l10n-af. You can view the split package PKGBUILD at: http://pastebin.com/Q3wAkZQy and the following lists all the distinct localisation packages for which I'm maintainer that I'd like to have removed since the split package will generate them: drupal-l10n-cy drupal-l10n-vi drupal-l10n-ur drupal-l10n-uk drupal-l10n-ug drupal-l10n-tr drupal-l10n-bo drupal-l10n-th drupal-l10n-te drupal-l10n-ta drupal-l10n-sv drupal-l10n-sw drupal-l10n-es drupal-l10n-sl drupal-l10n-sk drupal-l10n-si drupal-l10n-sr drupal-l10n-gd drupal-l10n-ru drupal-l10n-ro drupal-l10n-pa drupal-l10n-pt-pt drupal-l10n-pt-br drupal-l10n-pl drupal-l10n-fa drupal-l10n-or drupal-l10n-oc drupal-l10n-nn drupal-l10n-nb drupal-l10n-se drupal-l10n-ne drupal-l10n-mn drupal-l10n-mr drupal-l10n-ml drupal-l10n-mg drupal-l10n-mk drupal-l10n-xx-lolspeak drupal-l10n-lt drupal-l10n-lv drupal-l10n-lo drupal-l10n-ky drupal-l10n-ku drupal-l10n-ko drupal-l10n-km drupal-l10n-kk drupal-l10n-kn drupal-l10n-jv drupal-l10n-ja drupal-l10n-it drupal-l10n-ga drupal-l10n-id drupal-l10n-is drupal-l10n-hu drupal-l10n-hi drupal-l10n-he drupal-l10n-ht drupal-l10n-gu drupal-l10n-el drupal-l10n-de drupal-l10n-ka drupal-l10n-gl drupal-l10n-fy drupal-l10n-fr drupal-l10n-fi drupal-l10n-fo drupal-l10n-et drupal-l10n-eo drupal-l10n-en-gb drupal-l10n-dz drupal-l10n-nl drupal-l10n-da drupal-l10n-cs drupal-l10n-hr drupal-l10n-zh-hant drupal-l10n-zh-hans drupal-l10n-ca drupal-l10n-my drupal-l10n-bg drupal-l10n-bs drupal-l10n-bn drupal-l10n-be drupal-l10n-eu drupal-l10n-ms drupal-l10n-az drupal-l10n-hy drupal-l10n-ar drupal-l10n-am drupal-l10n-sq drupal-l10n-af drupal-be drupal-eu drupal-ms drupal-az drupal-hy drupal-ar drupal-am drupal-sq drupal-af [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/jamesan/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/drupal-l10n-af/

Otherwise there seem to be no other users who would use that and this library, and these two packages are the only remaining holdovers that are tied to the obsolete, badly packaged AUR/perl-test-use-ok that is EOL as a dist since 2012 and whose later version is carried by Arch/core/perl. I myself do not use any of these packages, that's why I opted not to adopt and correct perl-moosex-traits. Please let me know of your decision on whether you want to keep and fix perl-moosex-traits along with keeping perl-parse-method-signatures, or if you choose not to adopt and adjust the former, in which case we can delete both.

Re: [PRQ#45251] Deletion Request for lib32-sane

by Marcell Meszaros

This library was adopted and updated, but it still does not have other packages that would utilize it. It is still better to delete this, which in turn will allow other unneded and not very actively maintained packages, like lib32-avahi, and several of its lib32 dependencies, to be dropped as well. Savvy users like @sl1pkn07 can install AUR/wine-wow64 if they really want to use their likely 20+ year old bin32 Windows-only scanners through wine. (Scanner support was the one reason cited by @sl1pkn07 to having a need for this package, though he failed to mention any concrete model or driver/software package that would actually benefit from having this pkg installed.) (Around 2004-2006, Microsoft was pushing OEM's to release 64-bit software for their still in-use hardware devices, even those that were sold previously. Consequently, many printers and scanners marketed after 1999-2000 got those support software at least for the bare minimum functionality in 64-bit.) (Also, no wine builds on AUR utilize lib32-sane, so even if someone installed the latter, it would be pointless without recompiling said wine package. But as I mentioned above, wine-wow64 works with both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows software without relying on any 32-bit Linux libraries.) Also, AUR submission guidelines say that packages kept there should be useful to more than a few user. It seems only @sl1pkn07 wants to hang on to this package.

That would be the best in my opinion. Thank you for considering my proposal.

Re: [aur-requests] [PRQ#10670] Deletion Request for dune

by Jakob Gahde

FWIW, great to have this in community. Not so great that a deletion request is the first thing that informs me about this and even less so to have somebody else run off with the work that I put into figuring out how to make this piece of software install correctly and only add a few mostly cosmetic changes for good measure, without even a mention. The process isn’t just './configure; make; make install'; at least for me it took a while to figure everything out, and I’m not exactly a newbie to all the crazy stuff that OCaml people tend to use in their build infrastructure. While I’m at it, I wonder what the purpose is behind not depending on OCaml for a tool aimed at building OCaml software. Secondly, OPAM is run automatically on most invocations of dune to my knowledge, so I believe depending on it is somewhat reasonable. And lastly, the sources of dune happen to mention in plain English that dune can make use of ocamlfind as an optional runtime dependency[1]. So much for my reasoning on the dependencies, I would have been happy to explain this earlier if someone had let me. Forgive me if I’m a little upset, but when the new community package even goes out of it’s way to provide compatibility with the versioning scheme I used on the jbuilder package before it was renamed to dune, I just don’t understand why not even a little heads-up à la “BTW this package is now in community” was possible. Personally, I even left a contributor line saying “Your Name <youremail(a)domain.com>” untouched in one of the packages I adopted, just to let people know that I’m not the only person who ever invested time in that package (namely ocp-build). tl;dr I know that in written form my thoughts tend to come off as being more furious than I actually am, and while I do in fact not like what I believe went on, what I really want you, Bruno, to take away from this is just „Please be a little more communicative in the future” :) Have a nice day Jakob Gahde aka J5lx [1] https://github.com/ocaml/dune/blob/1.0%2Bbeta17/jbuilder.opam#L17-L22 On Mon, 19 Feb 2018, at 15:34, notify(a)aur.archlinux.org wrote: > mis [1] filed a deletion request for dune [2]: > > in [community] > https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/dune/ > > [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/mis/ > [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/dune/
