Upstream is active and prides to keep python 2.5 compatibility code in
it ... (Not just 2.7). I (Osamu Aoki <osamu@debian.org>) and dkg even
made some effort to support both 2 and 3 but the idea was rejected by
upstream in 2018.
that's odd :/
I think this qualifies for "py2keep".
i don't think so. Imho is better to support Py3 in Debian with our patches.
If Debian and Fedora demonstrate its python3 removal, I am sure the
upstream may change his thought. If you have some progress indicator,
that can be used to convince getmail upstream. I or dkg need a solid
fact to restart conversation with the upstream.
yes, we have! :)
Almost half of work is done in ~ 3 months.
