Removal of python-qt3?
Hi,
I'm considering how feasible is removing Qt3 from wheezy. Even if
we freeze soon, removing packages is never a problem :-)
One of the big parts of the effort would be removing python-qt3, there are
only 6 packages in the archive currently using python-qt3:
* Package: kodos (#604359) It seems dead upstream.
* Package: luma (#604358) Upstream started the Qt4 migration
but seems dead.
* Package: mnemosyne (#604362)
* Package: museek+ (604606)
* Package: pyqonsole (#604371). It seems dead upstream
* Package: matplotlib (No bug reported) It build-depends on python-qt-dev to add
python-qt3 support. So it only needs dropping Qt3 support.
(The maintainers of all those packages have been bcc'ed, please answer to
debian-python@ if you have something to say).
Is it worth keeping python-qt3 and therefore Qt3 (that does not have any
maintainer) in Debian only for those apps? Are the python-qt3 maintainers willing
to continue with the python-qt3 maintenance wrt upstream work?
Ana
