Bug#1058485: python-sparse: please (temporarily) drop python3-numba dependencies

2023-12-14 Thread Diane Trout
python-sparse looks to have a hard dependency on numba, there's lots of
functions tagged with @numba.jit, several modules start with import
numba.

Given how hard it is for numba to update, I wish upstream would keep
numba an optional dependency.

I should probably remove the  since it seems required now.

I'm not sure how to help with the python3.12 transition though.

Hi Maintainer

Your package has a dependency, build-dependency or autopkgtest
dependency on python3-numba.  Numba is currently not compatible with
Python 3.12, although support is expected in the upcoming 0.59
release.  Please drop these dependencies for now, so we can proceed
with the Python 3.12 transition.

As Numba often seems to lag behind major Python releases, please
consider using Recommends instead of Depends to avoid having to make
similar changes in future.

Graham
