Hi all, since the EOL of Python 2 is approaching, the (python-) "astropy" upstream has split its development into a Python 2.7 legacy branch (2.0.X) and the normal development (3.X), where the legacy branch does get only maintenance now. Since many Python 2 packages still depend on astropy, I split the upstream source into a 2.X legacy package (src:python-astropy) and a 3.X standard package (src:astropy).
Yesterday, upstream decided that the legacy package will not support pytest 4: https://github.com/astropy/astropy/pull/8173 Pytest 4 is however the upcoming version, and I could imagine that others may have similar problems with Python 2 legacy. Therefore, my question is how these problems should be solved: * creating a legacy version package for pytest * remove the tests for these packages * remove the legacy packages in question completely For us, the third option would basically mean to remove the whole Python 2 astronomy ecosystem, and we would need to hurry in making some general packages Python 3 compatible (mainly astrometry.net). I opened a bug on pytest to discuss this: https://bugs.debian.org/914592 Best regards Ole
