Maintainers by package:
cachedir mathstuf
cmdtest salimma
genbackupdata salimma
python-cliapp salimma
python-larch salimma
These are all packages from obnam which is now retired/EOL. I think
larch and genbackupdata can probably be retired (though maybe others
find genbackupdata useful?). cachedir is still useful and uses cliapp.
cmdtest *could* be dropped; it is only used for the testing in cachedir
(as is pep8), but running the testsuite is nice-to-have.
Talking with Lars Wirzenius, upstream for this stack, he has no interest
in Python3 support for this stack (well, explicitly about cachedir; I'm
assuming about the others) and would prefer a new maintainer for them if
such work were to occur. Should we discuss with other distributions
about doing this or just start the retirement process? Note that Lars is
the Debian packager, so I imagine we can skip that part.
Whatever works for you. As the Python maintainer I care for 2 things:
- move away from pep8 to pycodestyle
- move to Python 3 or retire from Fedora
My e-mail was mostly about the first thing.
If the upstream maintainer as no interest in Python 3 support, I guess we have
no interest in cachedir.
Disclaimer: I don't know or use cachedir. However from the first glance, it
looks like something that could be reimplemented in a Bash one-liner.
Could you please elaborate on its importance to Fedora? Because I don't really
see it. I might be missing something.
