1 Hi,
2
3 The old distutils.eclass is on its way to being removed. The remaining
4 consumers are 14 packages of which half is pending stabilization,
5 and the other half is masked pending removal in 30 days. Those
6 dependencies are tracked via bug 609674 [1].
7
8 Therefore, I'd like to officially announce that if everything goes to
9 plan, the distutils.eclass is going to be removed on 2017-03-18. If you
10 are still using it in your custom packages, please make sure to update
11 them ASAP.
12
13 As usual, post the removal your friendly repository mirroring system
14 will report all the failures resulting of packages still inheriting it.
