Bug#933758: moap: Pychecker will be removed
Package: moap Severity: serious Justification: Policy 5.9.2 Hi, This is one of a few packages in the archive that still depend on Pychecker. I have filed a bug with ftp.debian.org to have epydoc removed from unstable. Besides its lack of support for Python 3, epydoc has been completely unsupported upstream for close to a decade. It really should have been removed from the archive years ago. I apologize for the late notice on this. I filed bugs against all of the dependencies I could find a while ago, but the FTP Master list included some additional packages. If I don't hear back from you, I will NMU a version of your package that removes the build dependency. Thanks, KEN

Bug#933504: RM: spe -- ROM; Python 2 package; appears dead upstream; depends on Pychecker
Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal I am filing this bug to remove spe per the recommendation of the FTP Masters. I am requesting that this package be removed from the archive so I can continue with the removal of pychecker, which is obsolete, unsupported, and requires Python 2. I filed a bug with spe in early June but have not heard back since then. There hasn't been a maintainer upload for this package since 2013, even though there have been 3 NMUs. From what I can tell, the spe upstream is no longer active. I do not see any evidence that a Python 3 version of spe is under development. As a result, this package will eventually need to be removed from buster anyway. I would just like to move up that timeline so I can finish removing pychecker. I have CC'd the maintainer address (which might be dead?) as well as the two listed uploaders (Stefano Canepa and Stani M). Thanks, KEN

Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal Hi, Please remove pychecker from the archive. It depends on Python 2, and can't be converted to Python 3. It has also been unmaintained upstream for most of a decade. I filed bugs for dependent packages in November of 2017 asking maintainers to move away from pychecker, and replied again on June 11 of this year to tell everyone that I would remove the package in mid-July unless someone contacted me and asked me to wait. No one reached out. Thanks, KEN

Bug#881545: configobj: Please migrate away from Epydoc if possible
Package: configobj Severity: wishlist Hi, If possible, please consider moving away from the use of Epydoc in your package. Epydoc is basically unmaintained upstream. Also, it is only supported for Python 2, so it will reach its end of life along with Python 2 sometime in 2020. I will continue to maintain the Epydoc packages in Debian as long as I can, acting as de facto upstream. However, once Python 2 is unsupported in Debian, I'm not sure that we'll have too many options to keep it alive. Migrating it to Python 3 is a fairly large job that I don't have the time or the expertise to take on right now. For my own Python code, I have recently converted to Sphinx using the Napolean plugin. At [1], I can offer you (or your upstream) a hack-ish script to convert common Epydoc markup to Google-style docstrings. It's not perfect, but it would get you much of the way toward working code.
