 Is there consensus about this MBF? I'd like to work on it on the
 coming days, so please express your thoughts or doubts ASAP :-)

I'm all for it, but debian-devel is the right venue for the final pre-MBF 
discussion.

Ciao Sandro,

 which is only in sid only because of sparc and its bd-uninstallable

Nice catch! I'll change the query to make sure to include newest sources only.

 the list doesnt remove duplicates:

 $ tail -n+3 ~/Downloads/python-support | head -n-2 | cut -d' ' -f2 |
 sort -u | wc -l
 415

That could be because of affected packages uploaded to both unstable
and experimental. I'm not sure whether to have two separate bugs for
those, or just one.

Cheers,
Luca

TTBOMK, dak knows about these packages, see attachment.
We should be around 428 packages (hence, bugs).

your list reports:

matplotlib | 1.3.1-2

which is only in sid only because of sparc and its bd-uninstallable

$ rmadison -S matplotlib | grep 1.3.1-2
 matplotlib | 1.3.1-2 | sid   | source
 python-matplotlib  | 1.3.1-2 | sid   | sparc

so likely the list is shorter. additionally, the list doesnt remove duplicates:

$ tail -n+3 ~/Downloads/python-support | head -n-2 | cut -d' ' -f2 |
sort -u | wc -l
415

I already wrote an UDD query a couple of years ago, which I forgot ;-)
https://udd.debian.org/cgi-bin/python_helpers.cgi

That should list all the packages in a correct way.

Attempting to remove python-support?

2015-04-26 Thread Luca Falavigna
Hi,

now that Jessie has been released, and there's the intention to
provide more support for Python 3 (e.g. paultag's mail to d-d-a),
would it be time to start kicking out python-support from Debian as
well?

According to lintian, there should be about 500 packages still using
python-support in a way or another, either (build)-depending on it or
invoking dh_pysupport in debian/rules

I think we reached the point whether lintian won't allow to reduce the
number of packages considerably (the checks are in place for more than
one year and a half, IIRC). Would it be better to start filing a MBF
against the affected packages, so we can focus better on the target?

I'd be available to identify the affected packages and eventually
filing all the bugs.

Cheers,
Luca

I have some packages[¹] that I want to migrate. I had some problem due to 
#577140: first time I used one of the patch in the comments but I did not 
remember witch.

Unfortunately it seems also git-buildpackage doesn't play well with multiple 
upstream tarballs: #561071.

This time I will patch svn-buildpackage or git-buildpackage and I will migrate 
them.

Cheers,

[¹] python-peak.rules, python-peak.util, decoratortools (the last one is not a 
multiple orig tarball, so it's easy).
