The Launchpad PPA for Lucid currently contains numerous packages to accommodate Python 2.5. However, ever since the "use system python version" changes landed, these are not necessary for development.
In the interests of not causing future people working on Launchpad, on a current-Ubuntu-LTS system, to install numerous unnecessary customized packages, I propose we clean the Launchpad Lucid PPA of packages which exist there solely for Python 2.5 support. Since it might possibly be premature to delete them outright, I suggest that a ~launchpad admin activate a new "obsolete" PPA, into which the relevant packages can be copied, and then deleted from the main ppa. The packages concerned are: * distribute - special case, was an attempt to make compatible with python 2.5, but did not work, so just delete this outright, don't copy. * egenix-mx-base * psycopg2 * pycxx * pysvn * python-apt * python-defaults * python-geoip * python-imaging * python-pysqlite2 * python-support * python2.5 * subversion * tickcount Which leaves the following, not related to Python 2.5: * bzr-lpreview-body * bzr-pqm * geoip-data-city-lite * launchpad-dependencies * pocket-lint * postgresql-8.3 * python-debian * slony1 * slony1pg83 * xulrunner It may also be appropriate to move the postgresql-8.3 and slony1pg83 packages to the obsolete PPA now or later. Max.
