MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-certifi [2]:
This is not needed by any packages in AUR.
I've uploaded it recently when restoring python2-requests to AUR, only
to realized that it is not necessary.
Python certifi is only a repackage of Mozilla's CA bundle. The
official packaging for Python 2 has been discontinued 2 years ago,
thereby this package is not as secure as it should be.
But Arch maintainers of Py2 and Py3 packages have come up with a
simple patch, applied to dependent packages in their prepare()
function, to make the Python module use /etc/ssl/certs/ca-
certificates.crt directly, delivered by Arch repo's ca-certificates-
utils package.
I've applied the same patch to AUR/python2-requests.
So please kindly delete this unused package.
