Hi everybody, The last upstream release is from 2017, upstream appears to be not that active [2]. But have a commit two months ago.I'll be happy to take python-slip. But I will like to know if it is "convenient" to do it.So, first I would like to understand how important is a package for Debian. I run`apt rdepends python3-slip` and then `apt rdepends python3-slip-dbus`(I guess the correct way) and as Michael mentioned this python-slip will not be usedby any other package until today.
I used dak: $ dak rm -Rn python-slip Will remove the following packages from unstable: python-slip | 0.6.5-3 | source python3-slip | 0.6.5-3 | all python3-slip-dbus | 0.6.5-3 | all Maintainer: Debian QA Group <packages@qa.debian.org> ------------------- Reason ------------------- ---------------------------------------------- Checking reverse dependencies... # Broken Depends: selinux-dbus: policycoreutils-dbus selinux-python: policycoreutils-gui Dependency problem found.As bigon mentioned earlier though, selinux-{dbus, python} will drop this dependency in a few months. At that point, there will be no remaining rdeps of python-slip.
Also I look in the popcon, but I don't know how to interpret it, I mean, for example,how many downloads are a "good number".So, what is your recommendation? Take python-slip and other package mark as orphan?or it's a good idea to leave it for newcomers?
I have no opinion on whether it is useful to keep python-slip or not. Regards, Michael
