Bug#776062: RM: python-xstatic/1.0.0-4 and all its reverse-depends
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: rm
Dear release team,
I've been thinking about this for a long time already, and I now
believe it's better for me to go ahead and ask for the removal
of some packages from Jessie.
The python-xstatic packages are designed for OpenStack Juno (and
more specifically for Horizon, the OpenStack dashboard). Since
Jessie only contains Icehouse, I don't see the point of having
to maintain these packages for the life of Jessie. I thought it
was a good idea to have them so that subsequent releases of
Horizon would be eased by having these packages, but it's looking
like upstream is switching to another system (this is still open
to a discussion upstream).
Therefore, I'm asking for the removal of the below packages from
Jessie:
python-xstatic
python-xstatic-angular
python-xstatic-angular-cookies
python-xstatic-angular-mock
python-xstatic-bootstrap-datepicker
python-xstatic-bootstrap-scss
python-xstatic-d3
python-xstatic-font-awesome
python-xstatic-hogan
python-xstatic-jasmine
python-xstatic-jquery
python-xstatic-jquery-migrate
python-xstatic-jquery-ui
python-xstatic-jquery.bootstrap.wizard
python-xstatic-jquery.quicksearch
python-xstatic-jquery.tablesorter
python-xstatic-jsencrypt
python-xstatic-qunit
python-xstatic-rickshaw
python-xstatic-spin
The below Javascript libs also have no dependencies, and I
believe it is more reasonable to not have Jessie shipped with
them. Please also remove:
libjs-jsencrypt
libjs-spin.js
libjs-twitter-bootstrap-datepicker
libjs-twitter-bootstrap-wizard
As much as I know, OpenStack Horizon is the only package that
uses the above packages, and again, version 2014.1 doesn't
(it unfortunately still uses embedded versions).
Cheers,
Thomas Goirand (zigo)
