[Python-apps-team] Bug#892751: subdownloader: new upstream version available

[Rogério Brito]

Package: subdownloader
Version: 2.0.18-2.1
Severity: wishlist

Hi.

It seems that subdownloader is being developed now on github[0] by a
different developer, but with the blessing of the original author[1].

Anyway, at least version 2.0.19 (which is not the newest) already includes
support for Qt5 (which would close at least another bug in Debian's BTS), if
not others. [2]

The most recent version both available on PyPI and tagged on the GitHub repo
is 2.1.0rc3.

Version 2.0.18 was released/tagged in 2012. Version 2.0.19 was
released/tagged in 2017, that is 5 years later, just to put things in
perspective and version 2.1.0rc3 was released 5 days ago.

The 2.1 versions (reading from the commit log) also support Python 3.5+ main
(exclusively?), which would also be beneficial as another Debian goal of
going Python 3 as much as possible.

So, can subdownloader please be updated?


Thanks,

Rogério Brito.
