Source: dipy
Severity: serious


Dear dipy maintainer,
I know this may sound a bit harsh and premature, but I'm concerned by
the state of dipy in Debian.
The package is currently uninstallable due to the removal of a
dependency (that has been deprecated for 5 years now), and  it's
unbuildable since more than 6 months (and the maintainers are aware of
it, as you can see in #785991#12).
A new upstream release since more or less that time.

From my restricted point of view there is no activity around it (I at
least se no changes in the public VCS).

As of now there are 2 RC bugs, the package is not in testing, there are
no reverse (build-)dependencies and the the popcon is resonably low.

Please, can you consider maintaining the package?  Keeping an unusable
thing in the archive is not going to help our users in any way.

Little update -- we are ready with upload of most recent dipy release
0.10.1 but now it is hunted by regressions due to recent upload numpy
beta  release.  upstream is working on them and I hope that soonish they
would be resolved one way or another.

With this note I would like to close this issue, since dipy project and
its maintenance in debian is alive and kicking, only the 'unstable'
nature of unstable forbids its upload (without e.g. blunt
disabling failing unittests).  So imho removal wouldn't be warranted
ATM, thus no reason for this "bug" to stay open.
