Bug#966573: awscli: aws cli v2
Package: awscli
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Amazon recommands to upgrade to V2, and my S3 service provider requires a v2. That leads me to investigate a bit around V2 and its absence on Debian (even in SID).
I’ve seen that amazon change their orientation (https://github.com/aws/aws-cli/issues/4947) making python hidden.
The tracker page points to the upstream new version 1.18.107 (https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/awscli) that's the last of the v1 branch but the v2 branch offers many newer versions, at writing time the latest is 2.0.35 (https://github.com/aws/aws-cli/blob/v2/CHANGELOG.rst). If the package awscli will « specialized » on V1 branch it would be a plus to state it explicitly in the package description.
Installation the amazon way is easy but probably not in line with the idea of Debian packaging system. So my question is : what are the plan for AWS CLI V2 on Debian ?
