MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-setuptools-scm-git- archive [2]:
"This plugin is obsolete. ``setuptools_scm >= 7.0.0`` supports Git archives by itself." [a] As per my checking, only one maintained package has this declared in their 'requires' (python-vispy), but that can and should be easily patched to be removed. This was already confirmed by upstream issue ticket. I've notified the maintainer. This legacy package was recreated for python-vispy instead of removing it from its requires definition. I've also left comments or flags on the few other, abandoned AUR consumer packages' pages. But those are seemingly leftovers and not used by anyone. (However, none of those packages' 'requires' list include setuptools_scm_git_archive, so only the PKGBUILDs need to drop it in these packages.) This package was rightly dropped from Arch repos. python-vispy packaging needs to fix the issue instead of having this package on AUR. And this deprecated package is better to be deleted.
