Hi,
I maintain python-gmpy and python-gmpy2, which need to transition to Python 3.
However, they have several packages that have Suggests or Recommends (not a hard
dependency) pointing to python-gmpy/python-gmpy2. These other packages appear to
be Python 2 only.
Should I stop building the Python 2 versions of these packages (and invalidate
the Suggests/Recommends of these other packages), or should I instead just
document this issue? If I document it, where should this documentation go?
I would just stop building these. And if the reverse dependencies have a
py2removal bug itself, then comment in these issues that the
suggested/recommended package gets removed. If they don't have a py2removal
bug, please file the bugs for these packages.
