IMO step 2. must be done anyhow: Matthias, you're doing a very bad job at maintaining Python in Debian, really. and the request to drop Python 2.4 before even considering uploading Python 2.6 in unstable (they are completely unrelated!) is another example of what I'm talking about, and of the very low interest you have in the Debian Python community. You have people doing analysis, filing bugs, doing NMUs but none of them are identified as Python maintainer (being in Maintainer/Uploaders field) but those activities are part of py maintainer ones. Easy as it can be, just leave Python to Debian, and step over. I have no doubt there will be a group of people interested in Debian and Python that will take over the package (I'm one of them, I've already asked some other guy and I'm intended to ask some other to join). Consider this a "nice" request of orphaning Python and let new fresh blood comes in, else, you'll see it pushed further. > I'm sure there are possible issues with other packages, yada, yada, but they > will get worked out just fine - no need to keep waiting on...what are you > waiting on? On nothing, but he doesn't have time to maintain properly this package, and so we must wait for a small free slot of time (because Debian doesn't have any priority) to do "dch -m "uploading to unstable" ; dch -r ; <build>" (because that's what needs to be done...) Matthias, it's clear to everyone you're most interested in other part of the toolchain (gcc, binutils & co) so leave Python to people caring for it.
