Re: Python 2 removal in sid/bullseye: Progress and next steps



Hi,

po 11. 11. 2019 v 16:27 odesílatel Norbert Preining <norbert@preining.info> napsal:
thanks for your work on the Python2 removal.

It's team work, I "only" sent that email :). It looks like others already replied, but

Could you please give a time line of how you are planning to proceed?

time line=now. 1.5 year is really short period for doing so much work in Debian. Imho we are already too late to make it, but let's try it. :)

I think requesting the removal of packages that you are **not**
maintaining is - to be polite - a bit unconventional (at least).
This remains at the discretion of the maintainer as far as I remember.

as other sad, RoQA. But maintainer can always stop this. Py2keep tag, fix package, even anyone else can NMU it. Removing is last and least preferred option. This is happening mostly for unmaintained/dead upstream packages, low popcons, MIA maintainers, QA packages, etc.

Are all you "must" statements "policy decisions"? Or your personal wish
list items?

Python policy update is underway.

Thank you.
