Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
The following packages will no longer be maintained by the Python team: |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
dev-python/autobahn |
| 6 |
dev-python/cbor |
| 7 |
dev-python/girder-client |
| 8 |
dev-python/kazoo |
| 9 |
dev-python/libcloud |
| 10 |
dev-python/logbook |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
All of them are stuck on py3.6 and have 1-2 revdeps, and aren't very |
| 13 |
useful to the general Python community. All of them have some problems |
| 14 |
that prevent us from testing them, and generally would qualify for last |
| 15 |
rites if they were not blocked by the revdeps. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
autobahn is only used by vpython (sci@), vtk (sci@) and buildbot (last |
| 18 |
rited). It is multiple versions behind upstream. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
cbor is needed for autobahn and ros. It hasn't been touched since 2016. |
| 21 |
The test suite fails, and is pretty unreadable. It looks like a new |
| 22 |
serialization format that didn't work out. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
girder-client is only sed by yt (sci-astronomy@). The ebuild doesn't |
| 25 |
declare tests. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
kazoo has no real revdeps (only zake that are 'testing utilities' for |
| 28 |
kazoo). Testing requires a running Zookeeper instance. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
libcloud is used by salt only (chutzpah@). It has all tests restricted |
| 31 |
because of 'known test failures'. Someone needs to put an effort to |
| 32 |
make the tests pass or at least filter out these that don't pass and run |
| 33 |
the rest. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
logbook is used only by pyfa and nikola. I've tried bumping it |
| 36 |
but a lot of tests still fail with the newest version and then one seems |
| 37 |
to hang. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Expect more as I proceed with py3.7 testing. |
