Bug#730869: Please upgrade python-pywcs from 1.11 to 1.10.1 or better

[Sergio Gelato]

Package: python-pywcs
Version: 1.11-1
Severity: wishlist

Judging from the upstream svn repository, development of this package is
continuing on the 1.10 branch. Trunk setup.cfg currently has
version = 1.10.3.dev
Version 1.11 is based on svn r2432, version 1.10.1 (tag pywcs.release_1.10.1)
on the much newer r3298. Some dependent packages (not yet in Debian but
available through pypi.python.org) build-depend on lib/pywcs/hooks.py (r3164)
which is not available on the 1.11 branch.

Version 1.10.2 can be found on the release_2013-03 branch; changes were merged
back into trunk at r3530.

I have been unable to find either a 1.11 maintenance or a 1.12 development
branch. I did find a statement at https://trac.assembla.com/astrolib concerning
future direction for this package and (somewhat ambiguously) identifying 1.10
as the current version.

I note in passing that the Source URL in the copyright file now leads to a
request to "[p]lease update your bookmarks to point directly at the
AstroLib Trac Wiki page", accompanied by a broken hyperlink. Surely one
can do better than that.
