Migrating is an option, but low on my priority list :) BTW, the NMU introduced a bug in the autopkgtest so testing migration was blocked (yay!). I've just uploaded 0.7.8-2 to fix this, but again, thanks a lot for finding the new upstream and updating the package, appreciated. iustin

I was sure this was going to be Removal soon, but if it has a new upstream, by all means. > all of this so that i will be able to upgrade nsscache from python2 to > python3: > it requires pymox for tests. Honestly last I looked at mox, the mock library shipped with python was as good, so maybe a better thing would be to port the unittests. But, that's a separate thing. > feel free to re-version it at -1 and upload it directly, and i'll cancel the > NMU. This is now entering the archive in 2 days, I'll leave as such :) > It would also be great if you'd consider migrating your python packages to > the DPMT team :) I'd have to learn what needs to be done first, but given this is already under debian with righs for all DDs, what would DPMT bring on top? thanks! iustin
