Hi, I've been taking a look through the QA team's packages and I found the version of python-irc in unstable to be considerably behind the upstream version. I understand that the reason this cannot be updated is a new dependency has been introduced that will require packaging an additional Python library. Only three packages in Debian appear to depend on python-irc: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dependent maintainers for python-irc: Ben Armstrong <synrg@sanctuary.nslug.ns.ca> (xpilot-ng-common) Debian Python Modules Team <python-modules-team@lists.alioth.debian.org> (python-cobe) Debian Multimedia Maintainers <pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org> (idjc) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I'm not familiar with these packages that are depending on python-irc, but if you would like to continue to have them depend on python-irc, please update bug #730084. As this package is now almost 2 years behind upstream and has been orphaned for a considerable time, I may request removal of this package unless I hear otherwise from you. Thanks, Iain. -- e: irl@fsfe.org w: iain.learmonth.me x: irl@jabber.fsfe.org t: EPVPN 2105 c: 2M0STB g: IO87we p: 1F72 607C 5FF2 CCD5 3F01 600D 56FF 9EA4 E984 6C49
