Bug#1006540: renpy: Move package to experimental while porting is still in progress

[Gregor Riepl]

Package: renpy
Version: 7.3.5+dfsg-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
X-Debbugs-Cc: onitake at gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

Please consider moving the Debian Ren'Py package from sid to experimental.

It is currently in an unusable state, because the Python 3 porting process is
still ongoing.
It doesn't make any sense to have it in testing right now, and unstable is
probably not ideal either.

FWIW, the package currently doesn't install properly:

--- snip ---

Setting up renpy (7.3.5+dfsg-2) ...
  File "/usr/share/games/renpy/launcher/game/gui7/code.py", line 283
    l = re.sub(ur'_\((\".*?\")\)', replace, l)
                 ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

  File "/usr/share/games/renpy/launcher/game/pefile.py", line 88
    IMAGE_ORDINAL_FLAG              = 0x80000000L
                                                ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

--- snip, similar errors follow ---

According to [1], there are preliminary Ren'Py 8 releases with Python 3
support. It would be great to have packages built from the upstream nightlies
[2], so people can start testing them in Debian.

Thank you!
