conflicting packages python-pysocks and python-socksipy
Hi,
TLDR: Both are the same, providing the "socks" module. We should
remove one of them. Maybe renaming the other to python-socks.
Longer story: Recently, I upgraded the outdated python-socksipy
package. This involved following a new upstream. Later I was
informed, that the new upstream was already packaged under the
name python-pysocks.
Questions:
- shall we remove one of the package?
(proposal: yes)
- which of the two packages should be removed from Debian?
(proposal: remove pysocks, just because socksipy is older)
- shall the other package provide dummy transitional packages?
(proposal: yes)
- shall we rename the binary package to python-socks?
(proposal: yes)
Any ideas or opinions?
TIA & Cheers
