Removes allenai common dependency and publishing info #44

Closed chrisc36 closed 2 years ago

chrisc36 commented 2 years ago

This repo is broken because the bintray publishing no longer works, in particular the allenai common dependency cannot be resolved.

My feeling at the moment is that is easiest to just remove the dependency (see https://github.com/allenai/common/issues/234), which is what this pull requests does. It also deletes the publishing information in the README which I assume is also out-of-date.

I think I am still technically in charge of this repo, but I know this was used as part of other AI2 project at some point, so I will keep this as a pull request for the moment in case there are any objections to changing it in this way.

@dirkraft Jason, can you comment on whether S2 still uses this? If so, can you make sure this won't be disruptive. Thanks!

We're dependent on static artifacts at this point. Changes in this repo won't affect anything. We have no plans to touch this repo again. Any future work on image extraction for S2 needs is most likely to be based on another active project https://github.com/allenai/layout-parser

So do what you will with this repo. Thanks for checking!
