I’ve decided to orphan python-sure. I have taken care of it for some
time, after picking it up the last time it was orphaned, and the package
is in good shape. Nevertheless, there are a couple of reasons I don’t
want to own it any more:
- Although I have a downstream patch that removes the dependency on
the deprecated PyPI mock package[1] in the current release, upstream is
working on a new major version, 3.0, that still has a hard dependency on
mock. While they seem open to at least downgrading this to a test
dependency that can be more easily removed[2], this remains a bit of a
headache.
- The new 3.0 release will add a runtime dependency on
python-couleur, which would have to be packaged and which currently uses
both nose[3] and mock for its own tests.
All of this can be worked around, but there is also only one remaining
dependent package benefiting from all that effort, python-httpretty. I
have CC’d its maintainers on this email in case someone wants to take
over python-sure rather than dropping python-httpretty’s tests when it
goes away.
