python3-nose removal (or revival ?)
Hi,
While fixing/updating more random packages for the python3-nose removal;
I stumbled on this new fork:
https://pypi.org/project/pynose/
This fork brings it's own new problems:
- licensing needs extensive review:
https://github.com/mdmintz/pynose/issues/36
- unit test are gone: https://github.com/mdmintz/pynose/issues/39
So I am not convinced it's the way to go;
It still feels like too little, too late.
Kicking Nose out of Debian (+ Ubuntu) would
maybe make some projects reconsider their CI pipeline
to use a better maintained test runner.
python3-pika is the first project I found online that did switched to pynose
as prefered test runner in upcoming release.
Debian Code Search also hints to:
- django-cte (it's on the todo list too)
- thunderbird
https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=pynose&literal=1&perpkg=1
Any advice is welcome.
Greetings
Alexandre
