[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#768730: Bug#768730: python-mne REMOVED from testing

[Andreas Tille]

Hi,

I have not fully understood your conversation whether release team was
contacted about 0.8.6 or not.  I also failed to understand the issue
with failed tests in connection with pandas.  So I do not know whether
you expect me to do something after I'm slowly recovering to normal
operation after vacation.

I'd recommend a branch called jessie featuring the very minimum changes
in a quilt patch against the version that was in Jessie before it was
removed.  The upload should be discussed in advance with
debian-release at lists.debian.org.  I personally think that chances are
very low to convince the release team to care for a low popcon package.
An extra obstactle is the newer version in unstable so we can not really
simply upload to unstable without an epoch.  I'm personally tempted to
give up with python-mne in Jessie and hope that all involved people
have learned the lession that a removal warning is an honst issue and
we need to follow the release policy in a short time frame.

Kind regards

        Andreas.
