[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#1015978: Should falcon be removed?

[Andreas Tille]

Hi Moritz,

thanks for bringing this up.  I agree that falcon your point is perfectly
valid.  On the other hand we have a new upstream version in Git which
now depends from Python3 and is a promising candidate to fix the Python3
bug.

Unfortunately the package does not build[1] which is probably a gcc
issue.  If someone would volunteer to fix this issue we might be able to
keep the package.  If there is no response in say two weeks we should
probably remove it since it becomes obvious that there is no interest in
this package.

Kind regards

      Andreas.
