MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for graphite-web [2]: It is not viable to keep this broken package.
Upstream hasn't released a new version since 2022 [a], and since then they stopped developing it and only accepted no-impact third party PR's to the master branch, mostly cosmetic / typo-fix / documentation fix / minimal config adjustment etc. [b] The problem is that this is not compatible with current Arch/extra/python-django v4, let alone the upcoming v5 (v5.0.4 is in PyPI, and Arch/extra/python-django is already flagged). I've considered the viability of a git package, but this one is already a VCS build in disguise, and it doesn't help make this work. Similarly, the (wrongly named) python3-django-tagging is not compatible with current python-django v4 (first released in 2021). That package has been abandoned by its upstream for 4 years. [c] No one seems to be using this package off of AUR: 0 votes, 0.000000 popularity. @eggz is not a competent maintainer, he just dismissed my earlier packaging feedback as irrelevant "chatter". There is no testing in PKGBUILD check() so this package passes as if it was functional.
