Should the pandas 1.x transition be forced (breaking python-biom-format and q2-demux/q2-types) or keep waiting?
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=950430
pandas 1.0 has been in experimental for 6+ months, because it breaks
some of its reverse dependencies:
In testing:
#950924 python-feather-format (has patch, no maintainer response to it)
#950931 q2templates (has upstream fix)
#950929 python-biom-format (no known solution)
Not in testing:
#950932 q2-types
#950933 q2-demux
This is blocking at least one proposed new package (pymatgen #962268),
and making work when a new numpy/etc breaks the old pandas. On the
other hand, this year feels like a bad time to break bioinformatics
packages.
Ubuntu freezes this Thursday, but I suspect I may have left this too
late for that.
Upstream have now released pandas 1.1, and I might go straight to that
but first need to check whether it breaks anything more. (It isn't
supposed to have API changes, but the new warnings may break
fail-on-warning tests.)
