Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org Usertags: transition As I wrote some time ago, the APT team would like to disable the old python-apt API for Python 2.X now. Preparation for this transition started more than a year ago, and most packages are now fixed. The transition can be seen in [1]. Some time ago, we uploaded 0.7.100+newapi with old API disabled to experimental in order to allow further testing. We now uploaded 0.8.0~exp1 which does this again. After the Python transition(s) and once we finished our changes for the 0.8 release (1,2,3 weeks), we'd like to upload a 0.8 release to unstable. Packages remaining to be fixed/affected by this transition: - python-debian (needs update) - debdelta (leaf package) - dogtail (leaf package, removefromtesting) - computer-janitor (leaf package, removefromtesting) - software-properties (needs update) I'd be ready to NMU python-debian. I provided a patch for debdelta over a year ago, but it was not included in any upload since then. Dogtail seems to be un- maintained and could be removed from testing. Computer Janitor is maintained by me, and needs a larger update, but could be removed from testing in the meantime. The worst problem is software-properties which needs a large update.
