Status of python-escript repo in salsa

[Santiago Vila <sanvila@debian.org>]

Hello.

I've done my best to restore python-escript repo in salsa to a state
where it may be used normally again.

What I did was to import releases 5.6-8 and 5.6-9 from snapshot.debian.org
and put them in debian/latest, but the Debian changelog has misplaced
entries so I've added a note indicating that.

I see that Alastair put his commits for 5.6-8 and 5.6-9
in another branch called debian/trixie (I guess this could
be due to some permission problem which I also experienced
several weeks ago?), but the commits I saw in such branch
had quite a number of anomalies (like commits containing
git-conflict artifacts, commits with messages not matching
what was really changed, etc).

Because I think those commits in such state are not suitable
for debian/latest, I've used snapshot.debian.org instead.

Now there is a pending issue which is to determine to which
release really belong the misplaced entries in the changelog.

I think they were really meant for 5.6-8 but I'm not sure,
so I'm asking here for help.

Also, I'd like to know if it's ok for Alastair to remove
the debian/trixie branch now.

Thanks.
